Hi Adobe Community!

I'm a designer who creates unique images using Canva. currently i have uploaded these images in my blog.. These images are not made with Adobe software but are a combination of templates, designs, elements, colors, and text I incorporate to create visuals related to natural gas.

My Question:

  • Can I upload these Canva-created images to Adobe Stock and make them available for licensing (either free or for sale)?

Some Sample Images urls:

    

Additional Information:

  • I have added some sample images to clearfy which type of content i created and wan to share.
  • I understand that some restrictions might apply regarding content ownership and licensing when using elements from Canva, but i just want to confirm if i am licenced user of canva pro.
  • I would be happy to provide any further details about the specific Canva components used in my creations if needed.

I appreciate any insights or guidance the community can offer!

Thanks,

Are these original icons that you created yourself?  If yes, you may submit the icons without text. But you can't submit icons made by other artists.  That would violate your TERMS of agrement with Stock.

Besides not having created all the icons yourself, as @Nancy OShea points out, you are entirely ignoring the submission rules for IP (see also the remarks from @Jill_C) :

So any reference to Sui Gas would need to go.

 

Then you have these copies of Apple devices, that would trigger an IP refusal too:

(you won't believe it, but the round button is a distinct Apple device design feature)

The credit card logo also looks too close to the Mastercard logo. I'm not sure if the mobile device would pass, as it looks like a modern iPhone (yes, the world of stock is very difficult to navigate through).

 

Incidentally, and to answer your initial question: You may use any tool you want to create stock artwork. It is absolutely no requirement to use any of the Adobe tools. But as others pointed out, what you post here, must absolutely be your creation. Do not even think about using something else that has not been created by you personally. And I mean by you personally, as this allies also to work done by your best pal.

 

This forum is full of people complaining that their account has been suspended for using other ones creations. Don't add your account to this list.

      So are these templates, where a potential buyer could insert their own copy? If so, contributors must be invited before they can submit templates. If they aren't templates, but solid graphics, they have very restrictive use and I don't understand who would buy these, regardless of Adobe's terms and conditions.

      Read clause 4.1 of the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement carefully. You must own all rights, title and interest to each of the components that you include in your designs. For instance, that logo you included for SUI Northern is probably trademarked, so you can't include it.
