Creating several accounts

[candy1812]

Is it allowed do create 2 accounts and more for Adobe Stock contributor? Accounts for different topics.

Yes, with a small hesitation. You cannot upload the same type of assets to both, and it should not be created for circumventing the upload limit. 

However, it does not make sense to create multiple accounts, because all sales increase your standing here and contribute to your asset placement with the search engine. I wouldn't do this.

For instance, images in one account and videos in another.

You cannot create multiple accounts for "different topics"; however you can have separate accounts for different asset types. For instance, photographs in one account and Generative AI assets in a separate account. Do NOT create multiple accounts for AI assets. Adobe will shut them down.

OK, this is understandable. Now I am doubting, wether it is a good idea at all to have a separate account. I wanted to create a second account for AI images, but managed tu upload only 50 images. At the moment I have a well working photography account. Is it better to use it for selling AI images?

[Jill_C · Accepted solution]

Honestly, if I decided to start dabbling in Generative AI, having been a photography contributor for 7 years with a well established account, I would create a new account for AI. Adobe's guidelines for AI submissions have evolved considerably since the beginning of the year, and recently the procedure for dealing with some questionable AI content has been to block the account while their investigation is underway. It seems that the world of AI is still in the "Wild West" stage, with more changes and challenges to come. Obviously, as an experienced Contributor, you would do everything possible to avoid submitting AI assets of inferior quality that violated the guidelines in any way, but why take the risk that your portfolio of traditional assets would also get shut down?

[Abambo]

That's quite a good argument.

Can I create another account to upload AI vectors? I already have one for uploading general AI photos and illustrations.

[Abambo]

In this case, I would keep all in one account, but yes, you can separate vector and pixel images. Your ranking would, however, be better with all in one account.

[AlphaG.]

Thank you for replying. Adobe's rule allows me to have two accounts for different types of work. For instance, one for videos and another for photos. I'm wondering if vectors fall under this rule too.  I mainly post currency and buisness AI-generated images. I prefer not to mix these with basic white AI-generated vectors in my profile.

[Abambo]

Well, read my answer here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/stock-contributors-discussions/creating-several-accounts/m-p/14561207...

but yes, you can separate vector and pixel images

I am not familiar with Adobe's policies and uploaded the ai photo to several accounts, so is it desirable to voluntarily report it?

[Jill_C]

Firstly, you must read all of the Adobe Stock Contributor Learn & Support help pages to be sure that you understand all of Adobe's guidelines and policies. You cannot have multiple accounts in which you upload the same type of assets. An AI image uploaded to more than one account is a violation of the guidelines and could result in your accounts being permanently suspended. You should delete the images that have been duplicated across accounts asap to prevent having your accounts blocked.

[life style_korean2578]

There are no duplicate images between accounts. I thought uploading
duplicate images would be a problem. I have multiple accounts and uploaded
different ai images. What should I do? Is it better to delete all but one
account?

[daniellei4510]

You should not have different accounts for AI images. Photo and AI, Photos and Video, Vectors and Photos, etc., are allowed. But still completely unnecessary.

[Jill_C]

Yes. The guidelines clearly state that you cannot upload the same image type to multiple accounts. Many Contributors have had their accounts blocked for just this reason,

I have multiple accounts and uploadeddifferent ai images.

Looks like circumventing the upload limit which is a serious breach of the rules. 

For asking your money, you need to have a tax form. That tax form needs to be accurate. If you ask your payout on one account and a different one, Adobe will see that the same tax form is attached to two and more accounts. You are risking getting your accounts terminated.
