Have you looked at WebP? You might like it better than JPEG.

Photoshop's File > Save a Copy drop-list supports WebP format.

444 -- I will just add that real buttons are typically hand sewn on. These buttons have no threads. Also, the holes are irregular in number and shape. The standard is 2 or 4 circular holes.
The plaid bear on the right. There is a noticeable channel above the eyes that shouldn't be there.

Are your images in the Review panel? I ask because sometimes people upload images and forget to click on REVIEW.
1-3 months is the average wait time. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on how many other contributors are ahead of you in the wait queue.
Work on other projects while you wait.

Just because it's AI generated doesn't mean it's accurate or good enough for commercial use. Check your work carefully. Fix what you can, discard what you can't fix and start over.
Quality & Technical issues are the #1 reasons for rejection, especially with AI.

Better compression methods. On the web, less bandwidth is a good thing. It helps keep the Internet a faster place for everyone. When pages don't take forever to load, users have a better experience, particularly on mobile devices.
Many factors can effect filesize including the number of colors, metadata, height x width, and quality settings.
Click on the 2-UP tab to compare your optimized image with the original. Apart from filesize, they should look almost the same. If it's under 1 MB, that's a win/win.

Could it be possible that the problem is, I'm in Dominican Republic?

Stock receives thousands of weekly submissions. Humans rush to process as many assets as possible. In their haste to review images quickly, they sometimes check the wrong rejection box on their form.
The most common reasons for rejection are Technical & Quality Issues. But there may be additional problems that are not detected on first review. Due to time constraints, Reviewers can choose only one response per submission.
Your Contributor User Guide contains more details about what's required.

Your job as a Contributor is to closely examine work BEFORE you submit. Correct errors, and then compare your best work with current inventory. It should be as good or better than what Stock has. If it's not, it probably won't be accepted.
Hope that helps.

"Similar images" includes work by other Contributors.
If Adobe Stock already contains 1000 images of XYZ, they probably don't need more images of XYZ.
Try submitting something else.

It is imposible that ALL of them have problem.
By @Luichi Tejeda
==========
Unless your equipment is damaged, it's unlikely they all have the exact same problems.
Technical Quality = includes ALL aspects that contribute to a photograph's visual clarity and accuracy. Composition, focus, exposure, lighting, color balance, contrast, and the absence of technical flaws like noise or artifacts.

This isn't a Dreamweaver issue. I can't speak to what Outlook does— it's an email client that plays by its own rules.
That said, your code looks OK to me in a browser at normal (100%) Zoom setting.
The Font-Family I'm using is Calibri, Candara, Segoe, "Segoe UI", Optima, Arial, sans-serif;
Maybe try with a different Font-Family.
Hope that helps.

I want to remove Watermark from Adobe Stock Video
By @dazzling_workmanship6647
==============
Buy a license.
https://stock.adobe.com/license-terms
Unlicensed Stock assets are watermarked to protect the Stock Contributor's content from unlawful use.
When you license it, you receive a high quality asset without watermarks.

The first one is too cluttered. The viewer's eye is being pulled in all different directions at once by competing elements -- flowers, vases, background, etc...
Focus on the main keyword. Make that your subject. Eliminate distractions.
The cherry tomatoes are competing with too many distractions. I would have used a filter to minimize fruit reflections. Again, the main keyword should be your focal point.

This is not unique to your version of Photoshop. It's occurs in other versions as well when your image is floating freely in the ether instead of docked to the application frame.
Try this: Go to Window > Arrange > Consolidate All to Tabs. That should fix the problem

FLOWERS: There's too much competing inventory in this keyword. Stock already contains millions & millions & millions of perfect flowers in every species, size, shape & color.
To succeed at Stock, find subjects that have fewer submissions & compare your best work with current inventory.
Adobe Stock customers expect the highest visual and technical quality for use in commercial projects.

Am I out of luck because I didn't release the license beforehand?
By @rafael_3683

Unless you have access to the original device on which CS6 was previously installed, yes. You've reached the end of the road.
13-year-old apps can't be deactivated remotely. You need access to the device and the CS6 app's HELP menu.

1. To deactivate a device, you must have access to the device on which Creative Suite was installed. Remote deactivation is not possible for legacy CS apps.
2. Creative Suite apps won't run, much less install, on newer Macs. You need compatible 64-bit software that can run on your current machine.
Make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements. Most Creative Cloud apps work on these systems, no more than 2 versions back:
Windows 11 (64-bit) versions 24H2, 23H2,; Windows 10 versions 22H2, 21H2;
MacOS 15 (Sequoia), 14.7 (Sonoma), 13.6.7 (Ventura).

It's not a commercial quality image. Bad lighting, not enough details. This will not reproduce well in print, digital or textile use.
Compare your best work with what's available on Stock. Yours should be as good or better than what's there now.

Depth of field is too narrow in most of these.
If customers want blur effects, they can easily add them after purchase. But they can't easily remove blur once it's there.

There's no magic button for this. This was achieved through a combination of techniques.
Multiple layers & blending modes,
Generative AI,
Manual painting/drawing,
Etc...
If you know who the artist is, maybe they will tell you what's in their secret sauce. 😉
