Conditional
Adobe Stock accepts generative-AI images that meet its submission, rights, labeling, release and quality requirements.
What Adobe Stock currently requires
Contributors must label generative-AI content and verify that the AI tool licence permits the broad commercial stock licensing required by the Contributor Agreement.
What you need to do
Enable the generative-AI label, satisfy model/property release requirements where applicable, avoid disallowed prompt/title/keyword references and submit only work that meets quality standards.
Common mistake
Generative-AI content cannot be submitted as Illustrative Editorial, and tool permission alone is not enough if the submission lacks the rights Adobe Stock requires.
