Keywords and metadata to submit vectors

Last updated on Jun 11, 2026

Learn about keyword limits, ranking priorities, and auto-suggestion details for vector submissions.

If the uploaded vector lacks a title or embedded keywords, the Contributor Portal will automatically suggest a title and up to 25 keywords. Review them and edit, reorder, or remove keywords as needed, arranging them in the order of importance. This is an integral step, as the first 10 keywords listed are prioritized in search results.  

If Contributors added titles and keywords to their JPEG preview images in Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Adobe Bridge, or another image-editing application, Adobe Stock will preserve them. They can edit metadata before submitting the final content.  

Metadata requirements

The following requirements outline the information that Contributors must provide to ensure their submission is accurately described, searchable, and aligned with platform standards:
