Confusion in Licensing of Images

[DailyLifeImages]

What License do Adobe give to its stock images buyers. And I saw some license are priced very high so if someone buys that license, will contributor get the advantage?

The appropriate stock license depends on how the Buyer will use the asset. The various licenses are shown here:

The Contributor earns 33% of whatever the Buyer pays which is determined by their subscription plan. The various subscription plans are shown here:

You get your standard percentage no matter which license the customer buys -- standard, enhanced or extended. 

The majority of customers will opt for a standard license unless they need more than 500,000 copies or they're using it to create resalable merchandise.

You should also note that the minimum payout for an asset is $0.33, regardless of the subscription. The highest payout will be, when someone takes an extended license. You can guess the subscription the buyer has, by checking your payout. Not all payouts, however can be traced back to the subscriptions you see, as Adobe has multiple special offers running in different regions and corporations may have still other options.

Thank you to you all for your replies. I am worried because recently I searched my one of the most downloaded images on google lens and found a website which was in Polsih language which was offering my image as a wall art for around 96 bucks. And that image never got sold for extended license. What should I do know?

This website is most likely an Adobe API partner who has permission to feature Adobe Stock images on their website. Contributors receive their royalty when that partner makes a sale. Reread the section on API partners in your Adobe Contributor Agreement.

Ok! thanks for clarification 😊

Those sites, there exist a bunch of them, sell the licence via the API to the consumer who gets a nice print of the asset. As the end customers buys the licence, there is no need for an extended licence. For each customer a new licence gets sold. Even if a customer buys two of the same asset, you get twice your commission.
