Hello,   could someone explain to me why I cant reupload my picture? I uploaded it once already and deleted it by accident and now adobe stock wont let me reupload again due to quality issues. Help would be much appreciated.   Best regards   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

  Hello everyone, I have received a nomination for my assets to be included in the Free Collection. When I select the $10 Perpetual option, the $4 Annual option also automatically turns on (as you can see in the attached screenshot). Since all of my nominated files are vectors, I am a bit confused: Should I keep both options checked, or only the $10 one? If both are checked, which program will Adobe apply my assets to? Is it completely safe for my account to leave both checked? I’d really appreciate any clarification or advice from experienced contributors who have gone through this step before. Thank you!   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Por favor necesito que me digan donde esta la falta de calidad de estas imagenes

Hello everyone, I’ve been contributing icons to Adobe Stock for the past three years, and until recently, my portfolio was performing well, earning me around $35 a day consistently. However, over the past few weeks, my downloads have dropped dramatically, and now I’m barely making $10 a day, even though I continue uploading new icons regularly. This sudden decline is discouraging, and I’m wondering if others are experiencing the same. Has there been a change in the search algorithm, buyer behavior, or something else affecting visibility? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Adobe Stock Team and fellow contributors,I’ve had several of my AI-generated images rejected with the reason "similar content in our collection." I completely understand that Adobe wants to avoid duplicates, but when I searched the library, I wasn’t able to find anything identical or even close to my images. I’d like to better understand this rejection reason so I can improve my submissions and avoid similar issues in the future:Where can contributors check what Adobe considers "already existing" in the library?Why might an image be flagged as similar content even if no clearly matching content is visible? I really appreciate any clarification or guidance on this matter. My goal is to learn from this feedback and ensure that my future submissions add unique value to the Adobe Stock collection.Thank you very much!

I uploaded about 100 images of UK Lake District in Octobver 2024 and they still haven't been reviewed. Is there any way to nudge Adobe to have a look at them?

Hallo zusammen,ich bin neu hier und habe gerade meine erste Einreichung bei Adobe Stock vorgenommen. Leider wurden alle meine Bilder abgelehnt, und ich möchte wirklich verstehen, was ich falsch gemacht habe, um mich zu verbessern.Ich habe folgende Ablehnungsnachricht erhalten:"Vielen Dank, dass du dein Bild eingereicht hast. Leider entspricht es nicht unseren Anforderungen und wir können es nicht in unsere Collection aufnehmen. Häufige Probleme, die sich auf die technische Qualität der Bilder auswirken können, sind Belichtungsprobleme, Weichzeichner, übermäßige Filterung oder Artefakte/Rauschen. Hier erfährst du mehr über unsere technischen Anforderungen. Um mehr über die Art von Inhalten zu erfahren, die wir suchen, besuche bitte diese Seite."Ich habe die technischen Anforderungen gelesen, aber es fällt mir schwer, die Fehler an meinen eigenen Bildern zu erkennen (Luminar Neo?).Ich werde in diesem Beitrag einige meiner abgelehnten Fotos als Beispiel hochladen. Könnt ihr mir bitte helf

I submitted a series of photos from the same shoot; some were accepted, while others were rejected for quality issues. All very similar settings and results - not seeing anything glaring (except maybe the sun glare?)

These two images were rejected due to having similar content. Does the title, keywords, or other metadata added to the image influence this 'similar content' rejection? How can we avoid this issue when uploading images in the future? Also, how can we check whether the image we created has similar content already available?

Hello there,I went from a 95% acceptance rate to 20% or less. Almost all of my submissions are being rejected for the "similar image" reason.The quality of the images is really good and doesn’t have any issues.I am uploading at most 2 or 3 variations of each object ,PNGs only and a variety of different items across many categories. I also make sure not to upload similar content that I’ve previously submitted. I am 100% certain that my entire account doesn’t have more than three variations of any given item.Sometimes, I upload the same object in different styles.for example, a car in a 3D style and another version in watercolor or clay, so they are still distinct. (2 to 3 variations for each style) Is this a general issue that will be resolved soon, or is it only affecting me?

Hello,I created my Adobe Stock Contributor account in 2024. At that time, phone number verification was not mandatory. Recently, I have reached the payout threshold and now I need to verify my phone number.However, when I try to add or verify my phone number, the process fails. I do not receive any OTP/verification code, and sometimes I see an error message. I am located in Bangladesh, and it seems that the country code (+880) is not being accepted properly.This is preventing me from completing the verification process and withdrawing my payment.Could you please check this issue and let me know how I can verify my phone number?Thank you in advance for your support.@ContributorSupport please look into this matter.Best regards,Faija Akter.

Hello Adobe Stock Contributor Support,I have previously uploaded AI-generated vectors and illustrations, and I correctly checked the “Generative AI” box for those files.From now on, I plan to use AI only as a reference or concept inspiration and then completely redraw the artwork myself in Adobe Illustrator using the Pen Tool and other tool, creating all paths, shapes, and colors manually.Could you please confirm: for these fully hand-redrawn vectors and illustrations, do I still need to check the “Generative AI” box, or can I submit them as standard vectors without marking them as AI-generated?I want to follow Adobe Stock guidelines correctly and ensure my contributor account remains in good standing.Thank you for your guidance.Best regards,

Hello everyone,I primarily create AI-generated images using MidJourney, which I upload to Adobe Stock. I wanted to confirm if it is also possible to create images using Google Gemini without a paid plan and still upload those images to Adobe Stock.When I asked Gemini directly, it responded with "yes," but I would like a clear confirmation from the community or anyone with experience regarding licensing and usage terms. Thank you in advance for your guidance.

I submitted a set of 8 Halloween AI-generated images. All were rejected: 6 for “Quality Issues” and 2 for “Similar Content.”From my side, the files look sharp and clean without noise, so I’m not sure what triggered these rejections. Could you help point out what reviewers might see as problems?Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Hello, I’ve noticed that the approval rate has recently dropped sharply. Even when I upload content with different themes, the results remain the same. Does this mean I should pause uploading to avoid any potential negative impact on my account? Thank you for your help 

I've figured out Shutterstock and am trying to expand to Adobe. I realize the quality expectations are different for different stock sites, but I can't seem to nail down what the biggest issues are with my images not being accepted. There doesn't seem to be a rhyme or reason as to why some are accepted and not others, other than for "Quality" issues. I am using my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra phone camera.  So, maybe my camera settings need fine-tuning? Or is it my composition, etc? Please share your tips, I'm new to this stock photo gig! Attached are several that didn't make the cut. THANKS! 🙂 

Hello,I'm wondering if everyone is again having slow moderation times or if it's just my account?For a brief time, my images were being moderated so quickly I couldn't even keep up., but for the last month  or so, it has slowed down to a crawl again and my images are building up. Any insight would be appreciated, thank you 😃

So recently i had mass rejection of my assets with reasoning "simillar content was found in our collection". However, i failed to find such assets myself when i searched the stock.

Is it useful to add the "ing" form of verbs of movement, action, or position to your KW list when you have already added the basic verb to your KW list? For a simple example ... sit, sitting, rest, resting, perch, perching ... I feel like this gets redundant, but my concern is if one only uses "sit" for an image's KW, the image will not show up in searches using "sitting" for a KW.
