Hello!

We’re introducing updated submission limits for Adobe Stock Contributors to help maintain the strength and quality of our growing collection. These updates support the continued success of both our Contributor community and customers alike.

When you reach your weekly submission limit or the maximum amount of allowed content pending moderation, you will experience a temporary pause before you can submit additional content.

Please help me. I’m new to Adobe Stock and want to know which types of images are selling the most right now. I don’t know what to create. Could experienced contributors please guide me on popular niches and image types? I would really appreciate your help.

On the upload page for istock contributors, I keep getting a red bar stating “There was an issue loading the page. Please refresh the page” Does this have something to do with the new upload restrictions? I have refreshed the page every way I know how, but nothing works. ?? I have been uploading for over a year and never seen this message before?

Hello everyone,
I’m a new Adobe Stock contributor and currently have 306 accepted images, with 6 sales so far.
Is this a reasonable start for a new contributor?

Regarding rejections — I’ve had around 200 images rejected, mostly due to similar content, not because of quality or technical issues.
Is this considered a high rejection rate, and do you have any advice on how to improve or reduce “similar content” rejections?

Thank you in advance for your guidance and insights!

It's frustrating to try and circumvent the "similars" rejection algorithm since it often makes no sense at all. I have had truly unique images deleted. Submit very small batches in which no two images are at all similar. If you have multiple images from the same series on the same subject, separate them into different batches submitted in different days. I submit only 4-5 images a day.

You're off to a good start. Continuing to grow your portfolio slowly with unique images, accurately and thoroughly titled and keyworded, Will help you to attain a regular stream of sales.

It's probaby a good move considering lot of the AI junk that's uploaded. As somone who put's in lot of effort for vectors it comes across as disappointing to see AI garbage.

I'm just not quite sure why Adobe has come up with a formula for limiting uploads, as opposed to a simple limit of, say, 100/month.

Adobe Community Expert | If you aren't submitting your assets in sRGB, you probably didn't read the rules.

Maybe it's to avoid a flood of submissions on May 31st (last day of the month).

A weekly limit better controls the flow of submissions.

I want to ask how I can determine my submission limit. It would be very helpful if I knew the limit, as it may aid in content creation due to the known limit.

That is not possible at the moment. According to Adobe Stock, it depends on various factors. So the best way to deal with it is to upload small batches. Check the image quality before uploading. If you have fewer rejections, you can upload more. I'm following a simple plan of 4-5 images/vector files per day.

I think this submission limit works in a positive manner. Today I got 70 acceptances and 1 rejection after a long time. But almost all the files are vector files.
