Suggested keywords and metadata
If your submitted vector doesn't have a title or any embedded keywords, the Contributor Portal will automatically suggest a title and up to 25 keywords. Review and refine these suggestions by editing, removing, or reordering keywords based on importance. Place the most relevant keywords first, as the first 10 are prioritized in search results.
If you add titles and keywords to your JPEG preview images within Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Adobe Bridge, or another image-editing application, Adobe Stock will preserve them. You can edit metadata before submitting your final content.
Learn more about the comprehensive guide on titles and keywords or the artist field guide for examples and additional information.
Legal requirements
Adobe Stock content is required to comply with all laws and regulations surrounding copyright, trademarks, privacy rights, and property rights. Ensure you have reviewed our legal guidelines in the Account and submission Guidelines, and know when to include a model release and property release with your vector submission.
- Adobe Stock accepts vectors based on a photo or a work of art if you provide a property and model release, even if the photo or artwork is your own content.
- Adobe Stock does not accept vectors containing logos, trademarks, company names, or brand names. However, you may be able to submit content in which these elements have been digitally removed. Illustrative vectors with brands or products may be considered for illustrative editorial content.
