Stock Contributors

Hi, I'm new to Adobe Stock and I'm still learning how the platform works. So far, I've uploaded four photos. Three of them were accepted, while one was rejected due to similar content. I'm wondering when contributors usually start earning. Is there a minimum number of accepted photos that I need to have in my portfolio before I can start making sales, or is it possible to earn even with just a few accepted images?I'd appreciate any advice or guidance. Thank you!

Dear Adobe Stock Community, In December last year, I was informed that my account was deactivated for "suspicious activity".However, during the past seven months I have not received any explanation of what activity is considered suspicious. Without this information I am unable to understand the reason for the decision or provide any relevant clarification.I respectfully request that Adobe explain the specific activity that led to this decision and provide the rationale for taking this action. Via email I have registered the cases number 00504532, 00463206.I have been a contributor to Adobe Stock for approximately three years and have uploaded around 12,000 original vector illustrations during that time. Throughout my time as a contributor, I have made every effort to comply with Adobe Stock’s Contributor Guidelines and policies.

Hello,My vector submissions are being rejected repeatedly for technical issues, but I am having trouble identifying exactly what is triggering the rejection.The rejection message lists these possible issues:The vector file contains a raster/bitmap image. The JPEG preview is compressed too much. The JPEG preview resolution is below 5,000 × 3,000 pixels. Anti-aliasing was not used when exporting the JPEG preview.My artwork is created as vector artwork, so I would like to understand how I can check whether any hidden raster elements, linked images, effects, masks, textures, or other unsupported objects are still present in the file.I am also confused about the anti-aliasing issue. When exporting the JPEG preview, which anti-aliasing option should I select: Art Optimized or Type Optimized? What JPEG quality, color mode, and export settings are recommended for Adobe Stock vector submissions?Could someone please explain how to inspect the vector file and determine which specific issue is cau

​Dear Adobe Stock Community & Support Team,​I am writing this earnest appeal to request you to please reopen and review my active support case (Case #00514505) regarding my wrongfully deactivated contributor account (ID: 212522697), which has been blocked since May 15, 2026.​Despite sending multiple emails with all necessary proofs—including my passport, approved portfolio items, and a history of successful past payouts—I have received no meaningful response or human review to date.​Why my case urgently needs a manual human review:​Missed Upfront Opportunity: Just days after my account was blocked, Adobe Stock officially emailed me inviting me to nominate my portfolio assets for the "Free Collection" Upfront Payment opportunity (with 4 suggested assets selected for review). Because my account is locked, I couldn't even submit those selected files.​Previous False Positive Cleared: A similar automated block happened in February 2026, which your manual team reviewed, found zero violat

Over the past few days, I've been unable to submit assets through my browser on my computer. After filling in the metadata and clicking the green "Submit File" button, nothing happened. No pop-up, notification, or error message appeared. The button simply turned blue, indicating that the click had been registered, but no further action occurred. At first, I thought I might have reached the dreaded submission limit. However, instead of turning gray, as I've seen many people mention here in the community, the button turned blue. I then tried submitting from my phone and experienced the same issue. But, when I switched to the mobile version of the site on my phone, the submission went through successfully. That made me suspect it was actually a bug rather than an issue related to my submission limit. I then went back to my computer, cleared my browser cache, and signed out and back in, but the problem persisted, even after 2–3 days. The workaround I found was changing my region from Brazi

Hi all,I have quite a few photos rejected for quality issues but I am having a hard time understanding what I can improve on. The main subjects are generally in focus and the image resolutions are reasonable as they are shot on fullframe. Sorry for the screenshot of the thumbnails but haven’t been able to find the ogs yet. 

My primary email account was deactivated and I can't access it. How can I fix this, since it's the account registered to my collaborator account? I can't change it from my profile.

Well it was a good run while it lasted till i got this Hello, Your account has been blocked for submitting content that violates Adobe Stock submission guidelines, or for activities that violate the Adobe Stock Contributor Terms, on the basis of internal review of your content and account. These content or account activities were found to be incompatible with the Stock Contributor Terms, because they are prohibited under Stock account and submission guidelines, such as submitting offensive content, excessive submissions, content to which you may not own the rights, spam, or other prohibited content or account activity. I had this contributor account for 6 years, joined to the community today to leave a message, Looks like they suspended a lot of contributors just like this, I'm giving up on Adobe stocks ,i think what went wrong is that i started submitting Ai generated images ,even if they reinstated the account i don't think i want to continue contributing to Adobe Thank you for contr

Je suis très surpris de voir que nos photos adobstock sont utilisées par Europoster. J’ ai trouvé une quarantaine de mes photos disponibles sur Adobestock.  Alors que le partenariat avec ce site ne m’a jamais été notifié par Adobe. Les royalties pour nos photos sont en général de 60 centimes à 1 euros et sur ce site les posters sont vendus entre 15 et 30 euros voir plus. Une commission très lucrative pour des photos vendues à moins d’euros. Qui touche cette marge ? Il me semble que nous vendons nos photos droits par droit et pas de manière définitive ?  Comment se fait il qu’EuroPoster déclare des stock libres avec impression à la demande ? Qui a accordé cela ? Ils ont un accord avec Adobe ? Sans notre avis ? Celui des premiers concernés les auteurs ? Est ce que Adobestock peut nous rendre des comptes sur ce type de partenariat ? Touchent ils une commission sur la ventes de nos photos ? Pour ma part je n’ai jamais rien touché de Europoster, et j’envisage de faire un recours auprès d’eu

HelloI'm having issues with fonts in Adobe Illustrator. I'm creating files that contain various types of text formatted consistently, but the problem is that all of that text changes in terms of font and becomes distorted when I share the files on Adobe Stock.I’d like your guidance on the cause and possible step-by-step solutions, since I’m a beginner.I appreciate your support,Thank you

Hi,My account has been active since 2024. So far, I have 317 accepted images and 309 rejected images.I'm confused because most of the images I submit are high quality, with good lighting, sharp focus, and proper composition. I carefully review them before uploading, but many of them still get rejected.Could you please review my account and explain why this is happening? Are there any common mistakes I'm making or any specific quality standards I'm not meeting? I would really appreciate your feedback so I can improve my acceptance rate.

Hello Adobe Community,I am seeking guidance regarding my Adobe Stock Contributor account.My contributor account was deactivated, and I submitted an appeal on May 1, 2026. I received an automatic acknowledgement with Case Number: 00509612.Since then, I have sent two polite follow-up emails (on June 12 and June 28), but as of July 22 I have not received any response from the Contributor Relations team.My contributor account still shows "Account Deactivated", and I cannot access my portfolio, dashboard, or earnings.I fully respect Adobe Stock's Contributor Terms and understand that account reviews take time. I am not asking anyone here to review my case, but I would appreciate guidance on the following:Is it normal for an appeal to remain unanswered for this long? Is there any official way to request a status update beyond email? If my account will not be reinstated, how can I know that a final decision has been made? Since my account is only marked as "Account Deactivated" (not "Closed")

Please help me, the submit button is greyed out.”)

Hi everyone, I'm hoping an Adobe moderator can look into an issue where 41 of my AI-generated video clips were rejected for allegedly being "copied or unoriginal." I am the sole creator of these assets; I write custom prompts to generate the base visuals using Nanobanana 2 and Gemini Omni Flash, and then I personally edit and upscale the final videos to 1080p/4K in CapCut.I always ensure the "Generative AI" box is checked during submission, so I'm confused by this false positive and am happy to provide my prompt history or raw files to prove authorship. Has anyone else experienced this recently, and could a moderator please escalate my account to the review team for a manual check?Best,Iosef P.Contributor ID: yousuf.pareja@gmail.com

Hello,My Adobe Stock Contributor account has suddenly stopped uploading files for the past 2 days.Every upload gets stuck at "Uploads Remaining..." and no thumbnail appears.I can still log in normally, access my Dashboard, earnings, and Uploaded Files page.I have already tried:- Google Chrome- Mozilla Firefox- Different internet connections- JPEG files- PNG files- Clearing browser cache and cookiesThe problem is exactly the same every time.I also checked Chrome DevTools:- No JavaScript errors in the Console.- No upload request appears in the Network tab (only ping requests).The issue started suddenly. I did not change my computer, browser settings, Adobe account, or internet connection before it happened.Has anyone experienced this recently?Could an Adobe employee please check whether there is a problem with my contributor account?Thank you. I inspected the upload request using Chrome DevTools.The upload request is sent to stock-contrib-uploads-prod (Amazon AWS), but it remains pending

26 of my photos were rejected due to quality issues. Could someone please explain why? Thank you. here is 4 of them 2103946071210394637121039459232103946295

I know the standards are high on this platform, but sometimes the reasons given regarding quality don't seem fair to me—or maybe the problem is on my end and there's something I can learn from this. I was really excited about these beautiful photos; I'd love to hear your opinion.  Regards,

Hi all, this image was rejected for "Quality Issues," while a different elephant photo from the same trip and camera was accepted. I'd appreciate any technical feedback on what you think Adobe may have objected to. Is it noise, banding, softness, or something else? This is straight out of the camera and hasn’t been run through LR or PS so there’s no AI denoise or sharpening being done. Do you think there’s anything I can/should do to it to get it accepted? Let me know if you need any more information. Appreciate your feedback. Thanks. 

I'm deeply concerned about the rejection of similar images. I spend my entire semester break to AI generate high-quality 1800+ images to update my portfolio. But now I'm facing the so-called "similar image already uploaded" rejection. I'm looking for a good alternative to get a reasonable income for my time. Please share your knowledge.    [Moderator cured the topics. Please do select only relevant topics.]

I have started this month with upscaled AI images, and I use maximum keywords. I have been getting loads of rejection. Can someone help me learn to get this right or minimise the rejections?

Although all of my images are in the highest quality and taken in 4K resolution, Adobe Stock is consistently rejecting my images for quality issues.I have tried many solutions such as using online quality upgrading websites, getting rid of any noise, not editing them before uploading them, but the rejections keep appearing.Is there something I am doing wrong?Thank you
