How long does it take to accept or decline an image

[Malak Anas]

Hello

I've noticed that adobe stock reviewing is taking alot of time than usual like i submitted an image 6 days ago ? Shall i continue to wait ? or do something?

I feel you, i have some that literally been there for over 26 days. Whats odd is that they claim they go in order but still i get approved something i submitted 4 days ago, and 9 from the same upload are pending. I tried to reach out to support and i got the most automated response possible.

Are they in the same category? There are cases, where I think that a moderator will put assets in a queue for a supervisor. That may explain some out of the order moderations.

Except for generative AI, you should still have acceptable moderation times.

The reviewing time is just simply taking longer. Probably due to the influx of images that they have to inspect!

You will just have to wait!

As for the order, each review may get a batch to review. If one sends in a huge batch, that batch may get divided into smaller batches. Who knows?

Patience is a virtue!

What kind of asset?

My current waiting times were the following:

Illustrative Editorial: 2 days

Photo (with model release): 6 days

Vector: 1 day

Then I've had a report from someone who did illustrations: 8 days

And we all read about generative AI taking much more time. Currently, around a month, but I expect that to grow to more than a month for assets submitted now. I also suspect that Adobe shifted some resources to moderate generative AI, as all the waiting times are a little higher than before.

Well, with that vector image, I may have had simply got a lucky day, as you really can't go faster.

Depends on the assets you submitted:

• Most Photos & Vector Graphics take 5  - 10 business days.
• Generative AI could take 2 months, perhaps longer if you didn't follow AI submission guidelines to the letter. https://helpx.adobe.com/stock/contributor/help/generative-ai-content.html

For faster turn arounds, submit more real assets and less AI.  🙂
