Bonjour à tous,  Je me permets de rédiger cette question sur le forum car je rencontre un problème lorsque je souhaite envoyer des photos.  J’ai déjà envoyé des photos qui ont été acceptées et dont l’appareil photos et les réglages n’ont pas évolués depuis le nouvel envoi. J’ai soumis 50 photos de nature différente mais pour lesquelles la résolution oscille autour des 15-20mp, et qui n’ont subis aucune retouche ou presque en post-production. Certaines photos sont parfois pris au même endroit et comportant un cadrage différent.  Pourtant, la raison du refus est "problèmes de qualité" et les raisons qui y sont évoqués ne sont pas présentes sur mes photos (bruit, flou, filtre important...) ou alors après vérification, 3 d’entre elle maximum. Comment éviter ce soucis et quelqu’un d’autre a-t-il rencontré ce problème ? Merci pour vos réponses ! PS : exemple d’une photos refusée (la seule que je peux upload dans ce messages je peux illustrer d’autres exemples si nécessaires). 

can anyone explain?

Hello everyone, could you tell me why this photo was rejected? The issue cited is its technical quality, but I don't understand where the flaw lies; when I view it at 100% magnification, there are no blurry areas (or at least none that I can see). Thanks to everyone for your replies.

Can someone please tell me if I can upload mixed categories on Adobe Stock? For example, 2 health images, 2 food images, and 2 technology images? Or is it better to focus on only one category? Which approach is better for getting more sales and avoiding rejections?I’m new to Adobe Stock, so I would really appreciate your advice and guidance. Thank you so much for your help! 🙏

Hello,My Adobe Stock contributor account [email removed by moderator] was deactivated on June 12, 2026.

Can any Adobe staff or community expert please help escalate this?Thank you,Muhammad Hassaan

Hello,I contacted contributor-support@adobe.com about a week ago regarding recovery of my existing Adobe Stock Contributor account, but I still haven’t received any response or even an automatic confirmation.I’m unable to access the account because the old email address connected to it no longer exists, so I need help with manual account recovery and updating the email address.Does anyone know if this email is still actively monitored, or if there is another way to contact Adobe Stock Contributor Support without being able to sign in?Thank you!

I’ve uploaded many photos to Adobe Stock, but I keep getting the “Similar Content” rejection. How can I fix this problem? What should I change in my images or workflow to avoid similar-content rejections? I’d really appreciate your advice.

Request to Reduce Adobe Stock Payout Processing TimeAdobe Stock currently takes around 7–10 business days to process contributor payout requests.I understand that payment verification and processing are necessary, but I would like to request Adobe to consider reducing this processing period if possible.Many contributors depend on their earnings and would benefit from faster payout processing. If the security and verification process allows it, reducing the timeframe to 2–5 business days would make a significant difference for contributors.Could Adobe please consider reviewing the current 7–10 business day payout processing timeframe and explore whether it can be shortened?I would also appreciate hearing from other contributors:Do you think Adobe should reduce the payout processing time? What payout processing time would you consider reasonable?Thank you.

Hello, my new contributor account is marked as inactive due to the multiple accounts policy. I already submitted the deletion request for my old account, but when I try to submit the exception form on the contact page, it returns a red error. Could an Adobe moderator please help me reactivate this account? 

I tried to upload 2 photos to Adobe Stock but they got rejected with a “Quality Issue” reason. Can someone explain what’s wrong there and how can I fix it?  

Ciao a tutti,sto cercando di capire perché le mie foto vengono rifiutate molto spesso da Adobe Stock con la motivazione “Problemi di qualità”.Adobe mi risponde indicando genericamente possibili problemi di esposizione, messa a fuoco, filtraggio eccessivo, artefatti o disturbi. Il problema è che non riesco a capire quale di questi aspetti riguardi effettivamente le mie immagini.In Lightroom faccio poca post-produzione: generalmente mi limito alle normali regolazioni di esposizione, contrasto, colore ecc. e alla correzione delle aberrazioni cromatiche causate dall'obiettivo. Non applico filtri pesanti né interventi particolarmente aggressivi.Le immagini provengono principalmente da:DJI Mini 3, con foto ad alta risoluzione/4K; Fujifilm X-T2.Ho allegato uno screenshot della risposta di Adobe Stock e alcune foto di esempio che sono state rifiutate.Secondo voi, guardando le immagini, riuscite a individuare il motivo tecnico per cui potrebbero essere state rifiutate?Potrebbe essere un problem

Hello Adobe Staff and Community Experts,My Adobe Stock Contributor account was deactivated 5 months ago. I submitted an appeal back then, but I have not received any status update yet.Recently, I contacted Adobe Support via Live Chat and got my case escalated to the team.My portfolio contains over 6,000 motion graphics/video files created in full compliance with Adobe's guidelines. Since I have been waiting for a long time, could an Adobe Staff member please check my account status or guide me on how to get an update from the Compliance Team?Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.Thank you

Hacked Account, Subscription Cancelled & Terms Violation Appeal — Need Advice Hello Adobe Stock Community,I need advice regarding my Adobe Stock Contributor account. My Adobe Stock account was hacked, and at the same time my original Gmail account was also compromised. Because of this, I lost control of my Adobe account. After I recovered my Gmail and regained access, I contacted Adobe Support and explained that my Adobe account had been hacked. The Adobe Support agent told me to create a new Gmail address and create a new Adobe account.   I followed the instructions given by Adobe Support. I created a new Gmail address and also provided genuine evidence proving my identity and explaining what had happened.However, my case was later closed. I was then told that there had been a Terms of Use violation and that I needed to submit an appeal.I submitted the appeal, but I have not received any response yet.I would like to ask other Adobe Stock contributors:How long did you have to wait

More customer backlash is forming in the Stock forum. The posts range from requesting the ability to create “blacklists” to filter “bad” contributors from web searches to a “comments & ratings system” for flagging poor-quality assets so that other customers don’t get “ripped off.”  The underlying tone of these requests is frustration and disappointment at a lack of quality control. Buyers should never be disappointed with their Stock purchases. That’s a clear sign that some Contributors are taking lazy shortcuts and not ensuring that their work meets customer expectations.  The worst culprits are auto-traced GenAI-slop packaged as editable vector graphics that customers can neither use nor edit in Illustrator. Customers feel cheated, and rightfully so. If customers get their wish (it could happen), there will be a lot of weeping & wailing by Contributors who have been cancelled by their customers. Don’t say you weren’t warned.
