Repeated Image Rejections – Need Help Understanding the Issue

Community Beginner ,
Oct 14, 2025 Oct 14, 2025

Hello,
I’ve recently had a large number of my images rejected for similar reasons, even though I always research carefully and try to create unique designs. I’m not sure what I might be doing wrong. Could someone please guide me on how to avoid these rejections or improve my submissions?

Thank you in advance for your help.

What assets are you submitting?

What was the reason for rejection?

If it's a quality issue, please submit the same to the community and we'll check it.

There are many, many posts here in the forum relating to similars rejections. Read some of them. There really is no known strategy to avoid such rejections, which can sometimes be unjustified.

This is what Adobe Stock says about 'similar content.'

Try using less common keywords & titles.

For quality issues and similar content rejections, I've been using Nano Banana to make practical edits. Of course, for photography purists, this might not be an option, since one would need to tag their assets as AI. But the opportunity is there. The first image below was rejected for similar content, then accepted after giving it some context by having the girl playing a guitar. The second example was rejected for quality issues. I used Nano Banana to fix her shoestrings and switched to a more relevant backdrop. It was accepted.
