My Adobe Stock contributor account has not been approved yet.

Two months ago, I submitted my files for review to become an Adobe Stock Contributor, but they are still listed under the "In Review" section. Could you please provide an update on the status of my submission and the expected time frame for approval?

You are not addressing Adobe directly in this forum. Many contributors are reporting delays of 2-3 months or even longer. No one can advise exactly when your assets will be reviewed. Be patient. All will get reviewed eventually.

Your account does not need approval, assets you submitted will need approval. It is indeed unfortunate, as those are your first assets, but you need to wait. There is no possibility to accelerate this.

Review times vary from 1-3 months, sometimes less, sometimes more.  Wait times depend on seasonal activity, how many Reviewers are on hand to examine assets, and how many other assets are ahead of yours in the wait queue. 

Stock receives thousands of submissions per week.  It takes time.

Be patient. Work on other projects.  It shouldn't be much longer.

Hi there,

I am pretty new here, started uploading 3 months ago.

I have 39 files online and had one sale.

And 501 on the line waiting to be reviewed, so it seems like they have a long line to review.

I am not sure if this ever going to change, but if thats how slow the process is, I am going to give up on Adobe as a stock agency.

Stock is a numbers game, no use for me if it takes 3 months to analyze 500 images.

Best regards,

That's how it works here. At least for the time being. If you're impatient, consider uploading to other stock sites while you wait.

Yes, it is taking a long time right now for assets to be reviewed, but they remain for sale forever thereafter. Meanwhile, you are free to submit your images to other stock agencies if they don't claim exclusive rights to your assets.
