Stock Contributors

Hello everyone,I am a new contributor and I'm trying to learn and improve my photography for Adobe Stock. Many of my recent photos have been rejected with the reason "Quality Issues".I'm not always sure what the specific problem is. It could be soft focus, noise, or lighting, but I would be very grateful for feedback from more experienced contributors.Could you please take a look at these 10 examples and help me understand the main reason for their rejection? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.Thank you in advance for your time and help!Sakol U.

Hi everyone,I wanted to ask if it’s allowed to upload videos generated using Veo 3 (AI video tool) on Adobe Stock.AI creates these videos, but I edit and enhance them before uploading.Will there be any problem with copyright or submission policy if I upload such videos?Thanks in advance for your guidance!

Hi everyone, I requested a payout to my Payoneer account on 12 August 2025, but the status is still showing as pending. I already sent an email to Adobe Stock Contributor Support, but I haven’t received a response yet. Has anyone faced a similar delay, and how long does it usually take for payouts to process?

I keep encountering rejection of images for the reasons mentioned above, and in some cases I cannot understand the decision, as I believe I have removed all logos. I have attached a small selection of images and would be very grateful for any help in identifying what else I should remove so that they will be accepted by Adobe.Thank you in advance for your help.

This photo was taken with my Nikon mirrorless 7II camera and posted in Adobe Stock, saved as a PNG photo with transparent background.  It was rejected... "During our review, we found that it is likely to be generated by AI and not labelled as such. We can't accept your image into our collection without the label declaring it is a generative AI image." The photo was enhanced using the AI Denoise process, and otherwise not created in Photoshop AI.  Is there a way to repost and indicate it is indeed a photo, and not "likely generated by AI?" 

I’ve got a couple of gripes with Adobe that have been driving me up the wall. First off, they’ve scattered their support and community pages across the internet like breadcrumbs in a forest. By the time you click through all the forums, subforums, help centers, and “contact us” pages, half your day is gone and you still haven’t found the one place that might actually help.   But my real frustration is with their stock contributor reviews lately. I recently dusted off my old film camera hobby — you know, the real kind, with rolls of film, chemicals, and the smell of fixer in the darkroom — and started uploading scanned photos. And what do I get? Rejected. Over and over. Apparently, I “missed the generative AI flag.” Excuse me? These are film photos, not pixels born in a machine’s imagination. How are they deciding these are AI-generated — tarot cards? Tea leaves? And while we’re at it, could someone explain why every rejection seems to come from a moderator who thinks a Nikon from

Dear Consultant, will there be any problem if I have a live stroke path in my design? I mean, I don't want to expand the stroke path, because that will destroy the gradient I applied to the stroke path. I have some questions: 1/ Is it possible to upload a design by applying a gradient color to the stroke path without expanding it? 2/ Is it possible to upload a design by applying a blending option to the stroke path?

Saludos, me encuentro frecuentemente con este mensaje al lado de mi cartelito de "Enviar archivos": "Se alcanzó el límite de envíosTienes demasiado contenido pendiente de moderación o has superado el límite semanal máximo. Podrás enviar más contenido una vez que se moderen los elementos pendientes o se restablezca el límite.Gracias por tu paciencia." Me gustaría saber cual es el límite semanal o mensual de subidas de imágenes porque estoy intentando escalar a profesional y me encuentro con unos limites que no entiendo. Cada dia me deja subir para revision unas 15 o 20 fotos, a veces más, a veces menos, pero es que ya tengo casi 700 fotos en espera y estoy teniendo problemas porque mi flujo de trabajo se está viendo afectado. ¿Donde puedo ver estos límites para poder adaptarme a ellos? No he visto nada en ninguna parte de la página web.  Ahora mismo tengo Muchas gracias.

My payoner e-mail address has changed. I can't find how and where to update it.

Hello everyone, I have a question regarding the contributor dashboard.After my uploaded videos are reviewed and accepted on Adobe Stock, I can only see the Title and Keywords — but not the original filenames I uploaded. I need to know if there’s any way to retrieve or export the original filenames of the files that were accepted.I already have my local database with filenames, titles, and descriptions, but I can’t match them easily without seeing the filenames on the website. Is there any method, API, or hidden option to export this data or view the original filenames in the contributor portal ? Thank you in advance for any advice or workaround.     [Moderator cured the topics. Please do select only relevant topics.]

Dear Expert, will there be any problem if I don't expand the strokes that you see in this image? I mean I want to keep the strokes editable. Thanks in advance. 

Good morning, I'm a novice photographer. What macro errors do you find in this photo?

For the past few days, I’ve been unable to submit new files to my Adobe Stock contributor account. The system keeps showing a message that I’ve either reached my weekly submission limit or have too many files pending review.However, my pending files have already decreased significantly, yet I still can’t upload new content. I would really appreciate it if you could check my account status and let me know why the submission option remains disabled, and when it might be available again.

Hello everyone,I recently made my first submission to Adobe Stock and my photos got rejected for quality issues. I know that these images are very generic and that there are already tons of similar ones, but still, I would like to know what exactly went wrong with these. Any tips or suggestions are greatly appreciated!:)

Hello friends, I hope everyone is well. My question is that recently, when I upload 50 or 100 files, the limit is reached. What could be the reason for this? Also, the In Review files are reviewed very late, especially the PNG files.

Hello,I would like to ask about the current review times for submitted images.My recent uploads have been waiting for approval for quite a long time, while other contributors mentioned that their files were reviewed much faster.Could you please clarify if there are any delays or issues with the moderation queue?Thank you in advance for your help and clarification.Best regards,Svetlana

Hi, I submitted a collection of photos I've taken while travelling that have been edited but only to adjust the colours, but after submitting it I was informed there was a Quality Issue, but I'm not quite sure what I've done wrong with the images. I've attached a few to give an idea of what I was submitting. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Liebes Adobe Team, Liebe  Fotofreunde, Seit kurzem bei Adobe und schon 258 Bilder auf meinem Konto. 152 weitere warten geprüft zu werden. Warten schon seit vielen Tagen und es tut sich gar nichts.  Warum ?  Bin ich bestrafft ?  Gibt es eine Sperre ? Warum muss ich diese Fragen hier stellen ?  Brauche eine direkte Emeil adresse um einen Experten zu  kontaktieren.   Habe keine gefunden.... Ignacy;  dankbar für jedes gutes Wort [Moderator deleted private information. Please do not post private information like e-mails and phone numbers]

Hello Adobe Stock Community, I’ve been facing a few issues for the past two weeks and I’d like to know if anyone else is experiencing the same: My portfolio usually gets sales every week, but for the past two weeks, I’ve had zero sales.Newly uploaded files are not appearing properly in my portfolio/contributor page (or showing up with delay).Uploaded files are stuck in “Review/Pending” status for a long time — neither approved nor rejected.Has there been any recent policy change, system update, or search algorithm adjustment that could affect visibility or sales? I’ve checked my contributor status — everything looks normal, and I haven’t received any warning or notification from Adobe. Please let me know: Are you also facing the same issue (no sales or review delay)?Did you find any solution or hear any update from Adobe Contributor Support?If needed, I can share my contributor ID and screenshots for better understanding — please tell me where it’s best to share them.

Hi there,Is a model release required of travel photos of people. I recently took photos of children and adults in rural Mozambique who don't speal a word of english.Thank you in advance.

Sometimes it is hard determine why an image was rejected. Regardless of the given rejection reason.  This photo was rejected for "quality" so, I smoothed out the background some and resubmitted. It was then rejected due to "not flagging it as an AI image". Which it is not. I submitted a third time without making a change and it was rejected for "similar content". Three submissions. Three different rejection reasons. What I am trying to say is: the reason is not so important. Three moderators have determined my photo should not be accepted. 

Hello everyone,I recently uploaded a few handmade vector illustrations to Adobe Stock, but they got rejected due to a "Similar Content" issue.The problem is, my designs are completely handmade and not copied from anywhere. I tried to keep them unique, but still the system marked them as similar.Can anyone please explain why this happens and how I can avoid this type of rejection in the future?Any tips or guidance from experienced contributors would be really helpful.Thanks in advance!

Ich finde es wirklich unfair von Adobe, dass meine hochgeladenen Bilder in höchster Qualität einfach abgelehnt werden. Was soll das bitte?
