Stock Contributors

Hello Adobe Stock team and fellow contributors,I requested payout on Agust 15, 2025, to my skril account. Today marks 6 business days since the request, but the payout status is still showing as "Pending" in my dashboard.Does anyone know when I will receive the payment?

Hello Adobe Stock Team and Community,I wanted to share my concern regarding the current AI review system for submissions. I’ve noticed that some of my files are being rejected with the reason cited as “similar content,” even though they are unique and original.As a contributor, it feels discouraging when creative work is rejected automatically, without human verification. I understand the importance of maintaining quality standards, but I feel the current system may not fully recognize originality and uniqueness in all cases.I hope Adobe can consider refining the AI review process or include a human review option for contested rejections. This would help contributors like me continue creating confidently, knowing our work will be judged fairly.Thank you for listening. I look forward to feedback and discussion from the community.— Sandeep Kumar

Dear Stock Contributors, I fail to see how a 29 second 4K 30fps video of a butterfly pollinating a flower in my garden can be refused on the grounds of intellectual property infringement?

Hi everyone,I just made a sale on Adobe Stock for $1.01, but unlike before, it hasn,t been added to my balance. Normally, royalties appear instantly or within a few minutes.Has anyone experienced a similar delay recently? Could this be a technical issue or something else affecting small royalties?Any insights would be appreciated!Thanks!

Hi Community, How is the price for per free video nomination in 2025?   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]    

I've started creating timelapse traffic footage and am wondering if it would be accepted.  Looking at existing uploads from other contributors there are clips that, when paused, vehicle registrations, logos and other company logos are identifiable.  Is this considered acceptable?  Additionally, although hard to see clearly, people's faces are also sometimes visible in my clips but I've also seen this on existing uploads on Adobe Stock.  Are these submissions I'm seeing from select contributors or is this type of content permissable in certain situations?

지난 주말과 최근 5일간 모든 사진이 거부 됨. 품질 저하는 이해하겠는데, 유사한컨텐츠로 다 거부됨. 활동 안하는 기고자들이거나, 1~2년 간 안팔린 사진들은 자동으로 소멸을 시키던지..새롭게 시작한 기고자들은 평가 기회도 없이 유사한 컨텐츠라고 전부 거부되면,  기고자로서 활동을 하라는것인지 말라는것인지 평가 기회는 줘야하는것 아님? 

Hello Adobe Community, I am unable to log in to my Adobe Stock Contributor account because I receive the error: “Multiple account usage not allowed.” This may be due to an older account linked to a different email. I only want to keep one account active (my Gmail) and have the other account(s) closed. I have already emailed Contributor Support with all the details, but I haven’t received a response. I also tried reaching out through the help form, but the issue still persists. Could someone from the Adobe team or the community help me resolve this or escalate it to the right support team? Thank you,Satyakam   [Moderator moved the thread to the correct forum]

Hello everyone, Recently I noticed that many contributors have been nominated for the Adobe Stock Free Collection. However, from what I see, these nominations are mostly for images, vectors, and illustrations.As a video/animation contributor, I haven’t received any nomination, and neither have many other contributors who mainly upload videos. 👉 My question is:Is the Free Collection currently limited only to images and similar assets?Will Adobe extend this program to include videos in the future? It would be great to have some clarification so that video contributors also know what to expect. Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a strange issue when uploading graphics to Adobe Stock. After submission, I can see my files in the “In Review” section for some days. But then, after a while, they vanish: They don’t show up in the “Not Accepted” (Rejected) section.They aren’t visible on my dashboard or anywhere else.It’s like they just disappear from the platform. Has anyone else faced this issue?Do you know what happens to these vanished files?Is there something specific I should be doing to recover or track them?Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello everyone.Let's get straight to the point! Several pieces of content I submitted to Adobe Stock were rejected because they were deemed similar to other pieces. However, I actually checked the other pieces for relevance by uploading the same rejected photos to Adobe Stock. I examined all the pages, even hundreds of pages, and for some photos, I didn't find any similar content to what I submitted. They might be the same subject, but not the same idea or the same colors. So I'd like to fully understand the reason for the rejection.Thank you very much for your attention.

Hello to everyone, My works have been rejected due to the quality issues. I haven't see any quality problem, can you tell me? Thank you. 

Why did the sale drop so much on Monday and Tuesday this week? This has never happened to me before. Expert plz guide 

Hello,I am a photographer and journalist, and I recently created a new account to start selling my photos on Adobe Stock.When I try to sign in and activate my profile, I get this error:Inactive account. Our Account and Submission policy does not allow multiple Contributor accounts.I contacted support 3 times but did not receive any response.I have a Creative Cloud subscription under another email (registered to my son), but I created this new account for my own Contributor profile.I also tried logging in through the Contributor portal but the error still appears.I have attached a screenshot of the error.My question:How can I activate my new Adobe Stock Contributor account and start uploading photos?Is it possible to link my existing Creative Cloud subscription (different email) with this new Contributor account, or should I follow another process?Thank you for your help.

I have been contributing since the beginning of this year, and until recently, around 85% of my submitted files were approved without issue. However, for the last 20 days, most of my uploads have been rejected, mainly for the reason of “Similar Content.”I am a bit confused because even last month, when I created new designs inspired by other images, my submissions were accepted. But now, even if my new designs have only about 30% similarity, they are being rejected.Could you please clarify the reason for this sudden change? I want to better understand the updated review standards so that I can improve my work and continue submitting files that meet Adobe Stock’s requirements.Thank you for your time and support.

There have been people who's stockphoto account were deactivated. Are there people who1.Solved the problem2.Still waiting for months or longer for a response from adobe3.Who's account was deactivated Like to hear the experiences

Hello Adobe Stock Contributor Support,I need your assistance regarding a critical issue with my account.1. Over the last 4 months my sales have dropped from approx. $2200/month to $600/month.2. My upload activity, portfolio quality, and type of content (icons) have not changed.3. Around 7–8 other contributors I know, who work with the same type of content and upload methods, did not experience such a decline. Their sales remain stable and have stable growth.4. When I search for my own top-selling files using the same keywords that used to rank on the first pages, I can no longer find them in the search results or they appear far down in the listings.5. This looks like a search visibility / indexing problem specific to my account. Please escalate this case to your technical team to check:whether my portfolio is being properly indexed,whether my files are appearing in search results for relevant keywords as they should,and whether any restrictions or filters have been applied to my

what is the Percentage of similarity that Adobe takes into consideration as being the minimum to avoid?Also is there a tool that can help us to check weather our uploaded image ressembles to other contributors images? Thank you

Hello, I would like to ask about some recent changes I have noticed.Review speed – Why has the review speed suddenly slowed down recently? It used to be faster, but in the past few days it seems to take much longer.Similarity rejection – Previously, when I uploaded images, they were not rejected for being too similar, and I am confident that my images have distinct differences. However, in the past few days, images with a similar style and content have been rejected with the message that there are already similar images in the stock. Could you please explain why this change is happening, and what I can do to avoid such rejections in the future?Thank you very much for your help!

Hi everyone, I'm a new contributer. My pictures got rejected, I would be aprecciated if you help me what would be the exact and professional reason for the rejection and how can I improve my pictures?

Lately, a lot of my pictures got rejected and I am very curious what would be wrong with these? It looks like Adobe Stock is rejecting photos containing focus on specific parts of that particular picture as for example the one with the flowers attached. Comments regarding the rejection are way too incomplete to find out what is really wrong. Can someone give me some tips and tricks? Thanks in advance!

Hello! I’m occasionally receiving image rejections due to quality issues, even though some of the rejected ones appear better than those that were accepted. Could you please take a look and let me know why the following images were rejected?

Hello Adobe community,I uploaded an .EPS version of the attached image, which was fully vector but after a few days it got refused, showing that it had a similarity issue. I searched for the name of this design on Adobe Stock and found two distinctive images, which are totally different from my design. I want my design to be reviewed and accepted if it does not have any significant issues.
