If you currently have more than one contributor account active, no action is required.

No action required, we will close it for you 

great news in my opinion,and a further proof of the commitment to trying to make things work as best as possible.

Thank you!

Hi TaxcoBoy!

Even though multiple accounts were previously allowed, I always defended unifying all the content on just one account. This is an example:

(...)

I, personally, have always defended that is better to keep everything on one account. As Big Money mentioned, it can be tricky to manage (I have seen enough cases of people uploading content to the wrong account), and the advantages of separate accounts don't compensate for what you may benefit from having all on the same one.

Apart from the limits on uploads, if you keep all your content in one account, your portfolio will grow faster (not an issue for GenAI accounts, as we have seen), you will have a more regular upload cadence, and that will give your account some more visibility. Having all the sales in the same account will make that account more successful, and it is easier to get better commissions, as opposed to having the sales scattered on different accounts.

By the way, that's just how I see that situation. As said, you can have different accounts, but I don't see the appeal, apart from showing a tidier portfolio link.

That message is from here, back in 2024. If you go to Discord, for example, you will see that I have always maintained such a point of view on a personal level.

I am going to address your specific questions:

1. We are not going to downgrade any portfolios. I know of contributors who created a second account and focused on that one, which led to a decrease in sales on the old portfolio and a development on the new one since they focused on that. I also know of others who created a new account but were never as successful as the old one.

2. Sadly, this is not possible to do in an automated way. You would have to remove one of the accounts and manually upload everything, including metadata, releases and such, and I don't think is worth it.

So, to summarize, you can keep those two accounts, and they should be working as usual, since this is not supposed to impact them in any way.

Wow didnt know this was even possible, allowed and that the onces that knew are going to keeo ripping benefits from this. This explains how others with portfolios my size make a lot more than I did. They just had multiple stores.

Maintaining a single Adobe Stock Contributor account not only strengthens the visibility of your portfolio but also enhances discoverability and customer engagement, leading to greater earning opportunities. A single Contributor account provides more insightful performance metrics, optimizes search, and offers a seamless experience for customers engaging with your work.

Beginning March 25th, 2025, Contributors will no longer be able to create additional Adobe Stock Contributor accounts unless written approval is granted. We understand that certain Contributor businesses may have specific operational needs, and in those cases, exceptions may be considered. For information on how to request an exception, please refer to our Account and Submission Guidelines.

If you currently have more than one contributor account active, no action is required.

A welcome and long overdue change (with phone verification which on its own isnt great... Let's hope there's more behind the scenes cross checking such as payment methods and so on too).

The system is being mass abused by the usual regions to create new accounts once the first is banned for stolen content/non declared AI etc and also those trying to sell on accounts containing the above.
FB groups full of "I got banned so i made a new account" threads.

This is a good step forward.

I don't know why, but lately people are opening several accounts and treating Adobe like an etsy merch store.

It is probably the previous experience they have, one store per product or genre type.

But a stock portfolio does much better with all sales combined.

Perhaps Adobe could also produce a little video clip explaining the difference between stock agencies and regular web shops.

And those large scale producers that really need a second account for valid reasons can still get one if they really want it or are over 1 million files.

Alamy has support for pseudonyms.   It's still the same contributor account, but allows to sell different content under different names.  I am not using it, but it might be appealing option to someone should Adobe chose to support it.  I.e all AI content could go together.  Don't think it is supported now.

I use Pseudonyms and find them useful - i shoot a lot of different categories and the CTR and so on from them helps me see what is and isnt working.
Not sure they'd be that useful on Adobe as they dont provide us with CTR or other performance metrics at all though.

I have emailed numerous times but have received no response.
