This Halloween, we invite you to explore the eerie, the whimsical, and the mysterious, but without the usual pumpkin clichés. Let your imagination wander through foggy forests, moonlit rooftops, and curious corners where shadows dance and stories unfold. Whether you're channeling vintage masquerades or crafting surreal haunted dreamscapes, this is your chance to celebrate the season with style and subtle spookiness.     Here are a few ideas to get you started:• Stylized portraits with retro costumes in atmospheric, twilight settings• Illustrations of friendly or mysterious monsters: think quirky, not terrifying• Dreamlike scenes with floating lanterns, enchanted objects, or secret passageways• Use color palettes like deep indigos, smoky grays, and candlelight golds     Creative Challenge Rules:• Publish your images on the Creative Challenge in the Discord server.• No pumpkins allowed—get creative with other symbols of the season• Keep it PG: no extreme gore or d

For the past three to four days, my sales have decreased, but my position is stable. The ranking this week is almost the same as last week, but downloads are much lower — around twenty this week compared to about eighty at the same time last week. Is everyone’s sales down, or is it just me?

Hello,I have an Adobe Stock account, and until recently, I used to find Adobe Stock files easily by doing reverse image searches on sites like TinEye or Google Lens.For example, whenever I saw an image on other stock websites like Shutterstock or iStock, I could search the same image via these tools and find its match on Adobe Stock.However, starting two days ago, Adobe Stock seems to have completely disappeared from all major reverse image search engines. Even if I take an image from Adobe Stock itself and search it on TinEye or Google Lens, it doesn’t appear in the results at all.Unfortunately, the built-in Similar Search feature on Adobe Stock also doesn’t return the exact same image. it only shows related ones. Even typing the exact file title often doesn’t bring up the image, even though it clearly exists on Adobe Stock.This situation is creating a serious issue for me as a customer because I can no longer find and purchase the specific files I need from Adobe Stock. It may also r

Hi,May i know any rules for this so-called "similar contents" ?I do not post same design (illustration), but i keeps getting this "similar contents" rejection.I tried to search on Adobe Stock and could not find any design similar. Anyone can give me hint on how to get away with this rejection ?Adobe should at least give a sample link or what for this rejection.These few months, 100% of the rejection are all because of this reason, i find that it's wasting my time to even upload in this platform.... Let say i draw an illustration of horse gallopping.Does that means that i cant even draw this if there is already an illustration of horse gallopping ??The style, the drawing, the design are totally different.  Thank you.  

After my Adobe Stock account got deactivated I filed an appeal with the copyright team but the copyright team could not do anything. The mail was forwarded to the relationship team but I did not get any reply from the relationship team. I mailed twice and they are not responding. Please give me proper advice.

Hello everyone,I have a complaint regarding a payment request I made. I submitted a payout request to my Payoneer account on October 13, 2025 but I haven't received it yet. Previously, I received it on the seventh day after the request. Could anyone please tell me if this is a problem? If not, how long should I wait?Thank you.

I posted this in The Lounge, and I'm cross posting here b/c I know many Stock Contributors use Canva to create content.  https://community.adobe.com/t5/the-lounge-discussions/watch-out-for-canva-amp-copyright-issues/m-p/15557359   I can't emphasize this enough. Read all TERMS of agreements carefully. If you don't understand them, consult a legal expert for advice. Ignorance is no excuse for violating copyright laws.  

Could I have some feedback on these images?Thank you in advance

Hello Adobe Stock Team and Community,I’m reaching out for clarification and support regarding my contributor account, which was recently blocked for violating Generative AI content requirements. I believe this happened due to a misunderstanding, so I’d like to explain the situation clearly.About a week ago, I submitted a UI animation titled “Generating Button” — it was a short loading/progress animation designed entirely in Adobe After Effects, created from scratch using shape layers and keyframes. The concept was inspired by the loading buttons that appear in many AI image-generation tools, which is why I included the keywords “AI” and “Artificial Intelligence” in the title and tags.Initially, the video was rejected with the note that it was “AI generated.” To clarify the context, I resubmitted the same animation but properly labeled it as AI-generated, assuming that might have been the issue — and it was accepted afterward. However, a few days later, my account was suddenly suspended

I've just noticed highly suspicious download activity on my contributor account that appears to be automated bot activity .how to contact support team ? 

Hallo, manchmal passiert es dass Bilder in der Prüfung "hängenbleiben". Ich habe 7 Bilder die seit 7 Monaten weder akzeptiert noch abgelehnt wurden. 1 Bild vor 5 Monaten hochgeladen und 1 Bild vor 3 Monaten. Ich habe schon probiert diese Bilder nochmal einzureichen und sie werden trotzdem nicht geprüft. Andere die ich zur selben Zeit hochgeladen habe, allerdings schon. Jetzt aktuell 3 Vektordateien, 2 davon schon akzeptiert (selbes Thema Tiere), das dritte wieder nicht. Woran liegt das und wie soll ich mit den 7 Monaten alten Fotos umgehen? 

My total downloads are 11 and total earnings are 11.87. But in the past few days, I’ve noticed that the downloads and earnings are decreasing. What could be the reason for this?

I have made a design of a star with glowing golden lines I uploaded as a PNG file, but the reviewer rejected it. They say that my asset is generated by AI, but I have made it in CorelDRAW., What should I do if this problem causes issues in future uploads? Please help.

In my last submission I uploaded a set of files as usual: 1 eps, 1 png and 1 svg, let's says it was 15 illustrations. For some reason, one of each(!) files was rejected, so image1.eps, image2.png and so on, with the same reason — Similar content in our collection. But why? And how? If there is similar content, all of the images (of the same illustration) would fall under that, but it's only one, and at random. So I assume the system automatically(?) accepted my images and then flaged the next one as similar to the previous one, that's the only explanation I can think of since each file type is different. What's the deal here and what do I even do?    [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

To Adobe Stock Contributor Support Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am contacting you regarding an issue that has recently occurred with my Adobe Stock contributor account.

Hello everyone,I’m still a relatively new contributor - I joined Adobe Stock in July and currently have about 1,570 approved assets. For the past 17 days, I’ve still been experiencing an upload limit, even though my “In Review” section has been empty for more than 10 days.I’m wondering: 1. Is this situation still considered normal?2. Does the upload limit sometimes extend even for established contributors?3. Or should I contact Adobe Support to have it checked manually? I’d appreciate any advice or if someone has gone through the same issue. Thanks in advance!

I have 530 eligible assets. I already nominated them for the Annual Free Collection,but I noticed some contributors have turned on both Annual and Perpetual (Lifetime). My question is:Can I safely nominate my assets for both options at the same time?Will Adobe choose one automatically, or could it cause any issues? Those who have experience with this What’s better: nominating for both, or only one collection? I’d really appreciate your feedback.

My 2685 eligible assets nominated them for the Annual Free Collection, but I noticed some contributors have turned on both Annual and Perpetual (Lifetime).My question is:Can I safely nominate my assets for both options at the same time?I have placed my content on multiple microstock sites like Adobe stock, ShutterStock, istock. Those who have experience with this, What’s better: nominating for both, or only one collection?I’d really appreciate your feedback.

Should I turn on both buttons or just one? 

Can you tell me the reason why these vector designs of mine were rejected? Today they rejected 2. Yesterday they rejected 2. Can you tell me a little bit about what the problem could be?

I had submitted 50 images, from there 48 images had rejected and 2 are in review. The moderation team is saying my images does not meet their quality standards but all the images are upto 4 MP and all are not similar image. Why this happened?

BUenas tardes, Quería saber si en las fotos que hago yo, analógica o digitalmente y que son de mi única creación, si luego elimino un elemento de la composición (por ejemplo, un sujeto en el agua del mar, una farola o mueble urbano que entorpece), y para hacerlo utilizo un complemento o herramienta de IA...¿tengo que marcar la casilla de hechos/creados con IA cuando los subo a la plataforma de Stock?, o ¿si son sólo retoques y eliminación de elementos no cuenta como IA.Gracias de antemanoUn saludo

Hello everyone, I need some help with my works that were rejected due to “similar content” on Adobe Stock. I’m attaching them here.I created each image separately and very carefully — generated, photobashed, and refined them to meet high-quality standards. I approached every element with precision. These are entirely my own works in the form of collages on the Thanksgiving theme. Yes, AI was used, but it’s more of a creative, handcrafted process rather than a simple AI output.I don’t understand what exactly the issue is and would really appreciate any advice or clarification.
