Stock Contributors

I am new to Adobe Stock and wanted to know why my photo got rejected.

If I create a background image for any content/image with AI and then manually add main elements using Photoshop and upload it, do I have to mark this level?

Title:  Need Feedback on Rejected AI Images – Quality Issues  Body:  Hi Adobe Contributor Community,I recently submitted a few AI-generated images, but unfortunately, they were rejected due to "Quality Issues." I'm trying to improve and would appreciate your feedback to understand what went wrong.Here are the 4 images that got rejected:1. Galaxy Sky with Observatory – (Category: Landscape)  2. Man on Laptop with Glowing Hearts – (Category: People / Lifestyle)  3. Office Brainstorming with Sticky Notes – (Category: Business / Teamwork)  4. Hand Holding Phone with Neon Light – (Category: Technology / Conceptual) The rejection reason was quite general, so I’m unsure if it’s due to lighting, details, composition, or AI artifacts. Could someone please take a quick look and advise on what I can improve?Thanks in advance for your time and support!

I made a withdrawal on Sunday, June 29, 2025. Usually, it's already in PayPal by the following Saturday or Sunday, but it hasn't arrived yet. What's going on?

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.]

Hi all! New contributor to Adobe Stock here.I've been uploading several raster and vector illustrations in the last couple of days. One has been rejected for quality standards, which is fine and I can understand, but a couple more have disappeared from the review page without a formal rejection or explanation. Is that a common practice here? I'm a bit confused right now. By the way, I'm attaching a low-res JPEG of the formally rejected illustration. Any advice is welcome. Thanks in advance!

This phot was rejected and I'mn looking for constructive feedback on why and how I can improve.  thank you

Hello everyone,I’ve recently submitted several images to Adobe Stock, but unfortunately, many of them have been rejected with the reason stated as "quality issues." One of the rejected images is attached below for reference.I'm trying to understand what exactly might be wrong — is it the lighting, composition, realism, sharpness, or perhaps some technical detail I'm missing? The image was created as a transparent PNG in a clean and isolated style, and I’m unsure why it didn’t meet the quality standards.I would really appreciate any honest and constructive feedback from fellow contributors to help me improve.Thank you in advance for your time and guidance!

Hello, my Adobe Stock payment has been pending for more than 12 days. I think it might be due to my Payoneer account not being fully verified yet. Could you please let me know what I should do or if the payment will be processed once Payoneer verification is complete?

Is adobe is experinecing uploading problem.I tried to upload my contentes using normal method and sftp but nothing is working.Can someone update me me what is happpening? Thanks

Hi everyone,I'm new to Adobe Stock and recently uploaded a batch of AI-generated cartoon/game-style character illustrations. Out of 7 uploads, only 2 were accepted. The others were rejected for either technical quality or "similar content" reasons.For example:One rejection said the image did not meet quality standards (File ID: 1563249939)The rest said they were too similar to existing content in the collection (File ID: 1563236234 , 1563250030, 1563249959, 1563236211 )All of these images were created using randomized prompts, and I made sure to change details like color, pose, and accessories. But maybe I didn't change enough?Could someone help me understand:What kind of differences does Adobe look for in a batch of character images?How to avoid "spamming" or "similar content" issues when using AI?Any tips on how to safely upload multiple images in a series without getting rejected?(I also tried searching on Adobe Stock using keywords from my titles, and I ran a reverse

After the policy changed, I had many images rejected because they were similar to the group of images. The ones that were rejected, I even understood that the theme was really similar. I started to include different images, and first I searched to see if there were any similar ones. This image that I created in AI was rejected because it was similar. That's why I don't understand the criteria. It's a realistic doll theme of a woman, I didn't find many dolls. Was it rejected because it was female or a close-up, or similar poses or the whole image? They should show the images that resemble mine. Does anyone have any idea of ​​any image that is similar in relation to Adobe's criteria? I thank you in advance for your attention.

Hello, I hope you all are doing well.While designing posters and t-shirts, I always use and create my own overlay textures. Now, I'm thinking about uploading grunge overlay textures to my Adobe Stock contributor account in vector format. But to create overlay textures in vector, I need to use the Image Trace option in Adobe Illustrator to convert my textures into vectors.So my question is: Is it okay to use the Image Trace option? I noticed that Adobe Stock's vector requirements mention: "Keep your use of trace features to a minimum." That’s why I just wanted to ask, can I use the Image Trace tool for creating texture vectors, or will it cause issues?If anyone has uploaded assets to Adobe Stock using Image Trace, please share your experience. Thank You.

Hace unos dias que estoy subiendo fotos de un vije que hice (como la que dejo en la publicacion) y la mayoria me salen denegadas por problemas de calidad, alguien me puede ayudar en esto? No se si es por mi edición o que. No se que hacer Gracias

Hello, can someone please help me with a problem?I uploaded several photos to Adobe Stock, but unfortunately, the original (unedited) versions of those photos have been permanently deleted from my device. I only have the edited versions now. If Adobe ever needs the original files for verification or copyright purposes, I won’t be able to provide them. What should I do in this situation? Is there any solution or advice you can offer regarding this issue?Thank you in advance.

In searching for answers, I see many people are affected by the (apparent) change in decision making. To me, it almost seems like AI is deciding. Whatever it is, it's not good and is seems that contributors should have a voice?I, like so many others, have been getting the "similar content" rejection. I submit photos and I know that the decision is incorrect. I have suspected on many (including the removal of assets that have been up and actually selling for years that are now "similar") that it's unlikely there are similar images but I just confirmed it on my latest rejection. It was of a black bear mother standing up facing the camera in a particular manner. I looked through all assets on all pages of 4 different searches and don't see anything like mine. In fact, there aren't many black bears at all (though I will say that I saw hundreds of grizzly photos that looked pretty much identical, which confuses me even more). This is not the first time this has happened in the last 4 months

What might be the reason for almost 50% of my images to be rejected. They say Quality issues, but I dont think there is a problem with them. All settings a perfect,exposure, ISO, shadows. I use Canon R6 Mark II, with RF lenses. Thank you
