Stock Contributors

Dear Adobe Stock Team,I hope you're doing well.I'm reaching out regarding the recent removal of several images from my portfolio. These images were uploaded over a year ago, approved by the review team at the time, and some of them were even licensed by customers.Recently, I received a notification stating that the images were removed due to policy violations, possibly related to AI usage or similarity to other content.I would like to clarify that I do not use any AI tools to generate my artwork. My content is fully created using Cinema 4D and the Octane Render engine, with a strong focus on originality and quality.I kindly ask for clarification on the specific reason behind the removal of these assets. Is there any reason for concern regarding my ability to continue uploading, or could this affect my contributor status on the platform?Thank you for your continued support and understanding.Best regards,Maamoun Albibi

Dear Consultant, Suppose I upload a vector image of a fruit. I will not tick the icon option. In this case, will there be any problem if I use the word icon in the title of the image?   [Moderator cured HTML formatting errors]

写真をアップロードしていますが11枚が8か月審査されず、そのまま審査中の中に残っています。何か問題があるのかと思い、再アップロードしました。しかし全てが審査中のままです。8か月前の写真を削除したいのですが削除できません。なぜ8か月も審査中のままか？削除できないのか？おしえてもらえませんか？

Hello everyone.I need some help. I filled out the Adobe form two days ago and still haven't received a response.Recently, when I tried to access my account, a message appeared informing me that I have "multiple accounts."I didn't understand the reason for this message, as I've always used only this email address.In fact, I continue to receive updates about shipments and earnings at this address.But when I log in, the message shown in the screenshot below appears.

Hello! My photos were not accepted due to quality issues. Can anyone tell me what's wrong with them? I'm new to stock. I want to get a better understanding of this 🙂

I have a question about AI-generated content and licensing for Adobe Stock.Can I upload vector images that I created by converting AI-generated images from ImageFX, Gemini, Whisk (by Google), or Ideogram? I used the free versions of these tools, and I vectorized the images myself using Illustrator before uploading.I know Adobe Stock allows AI-generated content if we have full commercial rights, but I’m not sure about the license terms for these specific tools. Since I don’t have a paid subscription, I want to be sure it's safe.Has anyone here successfully uploaded vectors derived from these tools without issues?Or is it risky — could it lead to file rejections or account suspension?I’d really appreciate any advice or experience. Thanks in advance!

Recently a lot of submissions were rejected due to artefacts/quailty issues. Cannot be, I am using Canon R5 gear and original Canon lenses. Pictures were taken on pure sunlight. Other stock companies did not reject the same pictures.

Hi everyone, For the past three days, all my submitted photos on Adobe Stock have been getting rejected. I receive rejections every hour, with 2-3 photos or sometimes even 5-10 at once, and none of my images are getting accepted. I always follow Adobe’s submission guidelines and ensure high-quality content, so this sudden wave of rejections is quite confusing. Has anyone else experienced something similar recently? Also, I’m wondering if Adobe has implemented any AI-based review tool that might be causing this? Could this be an automated system issue, or has there been a change in the review process? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hello community,   I'm an Adobe Stock contributor and recently received a sales notification email (see excerpt below) stating that my earnings are subject to U.S. tax withholding until I complete the "Tax Center" process. However:   1. **My W-8BEN form is already approved** (visible under *Account Settings > Tax Information*),  2. I continue to receive these withholding warnings in every sales email,  3. **The "Tax Center" is nowhere to be found** in the contributor dashboard.   **Excerpt from Adobe's email**:  > "Hello Daniel,  > We are pleased to inform you that one of your files has been sold...  > ...Until you complete this procedure and the appropriate form is validated, your Adobe Stock income will be subject to automatic withholding..."   **My issue**:  - Why am I being asked to complete the Tax Center process if my form is approved?  - Is the Tax Center a separate step beyond form submission

Hello everyone. Is there a tool that can detect images, where the image has already been uploaded on adobe stock? I am worried that when I have edited for a long time and when I upload it, it is rejected by adobe stock because the uploaded image is very similar or has too many similarities with images that already exist in adobe stock.

Why I am getting rejected for non-compliance reason for my Silhouttes submitted images ?

I recently submitted a PNG images to Adobe Stock, but unfortunately, it was rejected due to quality issues. The message mentioned common issues like exposure, soft focus, excessive filtering, or noise, but didn’t specify what exactly went wrong with my submission.I'd really appreciate it if you could take a look at the image (attached below) and share your honest feedback. I’m hoping to understand what could be improved so I can learn and resubmit it with better quality next time.Any suggestions, tips, or critiques would be very helpful!Thank you in advance for your support and time.

Last year, I experimented with AI image generation models and uploaded some of the outputs to Pixabay for review. To my surprise, a few of these illustrations became quite popular, collectively reaching almost a million downloads!I'm now considering uploading the top 5 images from my Pixabay portfolio to Adobe Stock. My main concern is that these popular images might have already been secretly uploaded to Adobe Stock by others, which I've heard happens frequently to Pixabay creators.Has anyone else dealt with this? Do you think it's still safe to upload these images to Adobe Stock, or am I risking a problem? I'd love to hear your thoughts and advice!

Hi everyone!I’ve been generating some AI images with Leonardo that include text—like posters, banners, etc.—and now I’m unsure about uploading them to Adobe Stock.The text was added directly within Leonardo using their built-in tools, so I assume the fonts are embedded in the image. But I haven’t been able to find clear info on the licensing of those fonts, and I want to be sure I’m not violating any copyright rules.Has anyone here uploaded AI-generated images from Leonardo that include text? Do you know if Adobe accepts those, or do you avoid using text in your AI content altogether?Would really appreciate hearing your experiences or advice. Thanks a lot!

Hello everyone,I'm an Adobe Stock contributor and recently went through a difficult time after losing a close family member. Because of that, I couldn't upload any files for about 5 days.Before that, I was getting regular downloads and approvals. But now, even though I've started uploading again regularly for the last few days, none of my files are getting approved, and I haven't had a single download. I'm actually working on vector and png files.Is this normal after a short break? Or is there something wrong with my account or portfolio? I would really appreciate any advice or insight.Thank you in advance!

I already requested my payout on Friday, June 27, 2025. Today is July 7, and I still haven't received it. Can you please tell me the exact time when I will get my payout? I will Really appreciate for it.

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!
