Adobe Stock

Adobe Stock (formerly Fotolia) allows photographers, illustrators, and videographers to sell their work directly to users of Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop and Premiere. This integration gives your work massive exposure to creative professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. How much is the royalty?

You earn a 33% royalty on images and vector art, and 35% on videos. This is generally higher than Shutterstock's starting rate.

2. Can I sell AI art?

Yes. Adobe Stock accepts generative AI content, but it must be clearly labeled as 'Generative AI' during the upload process and meet specific legal and quality guidelines.

3. Is it exclusive?

No. You can sell the same images on Adobe Stock that you sell on Shutterstock, Getty, or Alamy.

4. How do I get paid?

You can request a payout via PayPal, Payoneer, or Skrill once you have earned at least $25.

5. Is the upload process easy?

Yes. Adobe's auto-tagging tool uses AI to suggest keywords for your photos, saving you hours of time compared to manual tagging.
