Learn the submission guidelines and labeling requirements to license AI-generated images, videos, and vectors.
Submitting AI-generated content expands your portfolio and licensing opportunities when you meet the technical, legal, and quality standards of Adobe Stock. Generative AI content refers to content created, in whole or in part, with generative AI tools such as Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, or DALL-E. Verify that you have the appropriate rights from the AI tool provider before uploading. Different requirements apply to content that only uses generative AI for minor edits.
Before submitting AI-generated content, verify your generative AI tool's license terms permit commercial stock submissions and broad commercial use as defined in the Adobe Stock Contributor Agreement:
- Active Adobe Stock Contributor account.
- Content created with generative AI tools that permit commercial licensing.
- Model releases for any AI-generated content featuring identifiable real people.
- Property releases for generative AI content depicting recognizable real property.
Prepare prompts, titles, and keywords
Write a title that describes the main subject of your generative AI content without including the words "generative AI" or technical parameters from your prompt.
Add individual words and concepts from your title as keywords, excluding artist names, people's names, or references that imply the content depicts actual newsworthy events.
Label and categorize your content
Sign in to the Contributor Portal.
Select the content, then enable Created using generative AI tools in the Metadata panel.
If your content features a person or property that was fully generative AI rather than based on a real subject, select the People and Property are fictional checkbox.
Upload releases and finalize submission
Upload a signed model release if your generative AI content depicts, is based on, or is intended to portray an identifiable real person.
Upload a property release if your generative AI content depicts recognizable real property.
Review your submission for accurate anatomy, proportions, and intentional visual elements that comply with Adobe Stock quality standards.
Select only generative AI content that provide unique value and avoid uploading multiple similar iterations from the same prompt.
Select Submit to complete your upload.
Your generative AI content enters the Adobe Stock moderation queue and is made available for licensing upon approval. Refused submissions include feedback outlining any quality, technical, or legal issues.
Note
Generative AI content cannot be submitted as an Illustrative Editorial, which requires authentic, unmodified depictions of real-world subjects.
