My Voice Against Adobe Stock’s Unfair Account Deactivation

Community Beginner ,
Aug 21, 2025 Aug 21, 2025

For years, I have contributed my hard work and creativity to Adobe Stock. I invested my valuable time, effort, and skills to build a portfolio that not only benefited me but also enriched their platform.

But suddenly, my account was deactivated without any clear reason. Adobe did not explain why, nor did they give me a chance to correct any mistake. One wrong step is possible for any human, but not giving an opportunity to fix it is truly unfair.

I feel heartbroken that so many years of work seem to have no value in their eyes. Contributors like us deserve respect, transparency, and at least one chance to resolve an issue.

Adobe Stock should remember — without contributors, their platform has no content, and without content, there is no marketplace.

I hope Adobe reconsiders its harsh policies and treats contributors with fairness and dignity.

No one here in the Stock Contributor community has any influence over Adobe whatsoever in terms of getting your account reactivated. You will just have to wait for the internal review process to takes it course.

Sorry, we're contributors like yourself. The issue is between you and Adobe and there is nothing we can do to be of help.

This matter is solely between you and Adobe Stock, not fellow Contributors in this user-to-user community.

Good luck.

If your account has been suspended, there is nothing that this community of peers can do for you. You will need to contact Adobe contributor support via the link at “Contact us”. Adobe will answer via e-mail, so watch your spam folder. The answer may take some time, depending on the workload of contributor support and the complexity of the investigation. So be patient and do not spam the contributor support.

I already sent multiple appeals because I have worked for 3 years and also
the reason given to me is not true. they said you copy another artist from
another website but I myself upload my assets to another stock website. It
took me 3 years to build 55000 and they deactivated my account without
warning.

Yeah, they are extremely cruel with account deactivation.

I do not want to scare you, but I still wait for resolution of the appeal. It is nearly 7 months already...

By @ASGraphics

There is never a warning. Why should there? They block you as soon as they detect an issue, and some people get reactivated after a blocking. 


I don't want to sound pedantic, but if you've had 55,000 images accepted in three years, that's 50 images every day. No one can tell me that you can produce 50 images a day that are all corrected and suitable.
