I don't think so. It used to be pretty normal for them to be published around the 20th, it even says " Statements are available by the 20th of the month" in the Royalties Guide. They have just been published very early, around the 15-18th for the past couple of months, so that is why it feels late. They should probably be published by the end of the day.
Thank you

Mat, have few questions. I uploaded few of my best sellers that were isolated on white as png files with transparent background and they got accepted.
New accepted files are still jpegs and they look like they have white background that can be interpreted that I have double files, already sold one of them.
Can contributor get in trouble because of that?
to try to answer alexandersr, my blue ribbon says we NOW accept transparent PNG ("now", not "no")
No, you won't get into trouble for this. It's only temporary until we unlock PNG downloads to customers. If, for some reason you are flagged somehow feel free to contact me directly to help resolve any potential issues.
I will look into the translation issue raised by alexandersr. Please disregard any message claiming we do not accept PNG files.
Thanks,
Mat Hayward
Hi Mat , From this, I understand that I can re-upload my vectors as PNG ? that's correct ?

I am very sure that AS changed the algorithm on August 1.
If they did that, then it was (finally!) in my favor. My download numbers have increased. I had more than double as many sales in August 22 than in August 21. Maybe I will finally get to see the glourious Adobe takeover compared to Shutterstock that everyone keeps talking about.
The same thing happens to me !

It should be zero, so you will only have to pay taxes in Morocco, since the USA and Morocco have a double taxation avoidance treaty.
I don't think it should be zero .. in other platforms like Shutterstock or creative market I pay 10% tax
My bad, I didn't read the whole text properly.
The rate of tax imposed by a Contracting State on royalties derived from sources within that Contracting State by a resident of the other Contracting State shall not exceed ten percent
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-trty/morocco.pdf
You should only pay the difference between Moroccon tax and 10% in Morocco.
I really appreciate your help !

Hello
I noticed that I forgot to providing my TIN Number in the tax form .
Can I still listed on tax form ?
How much will withholding rate 30% decrease if I listed my TIN number ? (I'm Non-US Persons)
And the last question is is there is some one here in this Forum live in Morocco ?
Thank you.

I have question Mat
I have already uploaded many vector files , Is it possible to upload them again in PNG with the same title and keywords ?
I suggest that we be allowed to upload a single Zip file that contains Ai, EPS , JPG and also PNG

Hi, I have a question, how many versions can be made to the vector file ? I've provided an example below

I read the information Freepik provided about their new calculation (from the link above) and it seems pretty straightforward - the diagram makes it pretty clear:
https://support.freepik.com/servlet/rtaImage?eid=ka03V000000Y1uY&feoid=00N3V000001WcHX&refid=0EM3V000003DfDj
It seems that the big change is that before they took all subscriptions as one big pot and then divided up 50% of that. Now, each subscription is tallied individually so that you could be a big winner, as a contributor, if your images were downloaded by subscribers who didn't use many images that month. Likewise you could be a big loser if your downloads were from a subscriber who used a lot.
A hypothetical example (assuming I've understood this correctly).
There are two monthly subscription prices, one if you pay yearly and one if you go month-to-month. I've rounded these to make the math simpler and taken two extremes of download numbers to highlight how the system works (in other words this isn't likely to be exactly what you'd see.
Subscriber A pays $20 a month and makes 10 downloads that month
Subscriber B pays yearly, $12 a month, and makes 100 downloads that month
Downloads from A pay $1 each (50% of the subscription goes to contributors)
Downloads from B pay $0.06 each.
Freepik's share is the same in both old and new scenarios - 50% of $32 or $16
Under the old system, 110 downloads would pay contributors $0.145 each
Under the new system, if you had four downloads from subscriber A, you'd receive $4; but if they were from subscriber B it would be $0.24. From the old system you'd have received $0.58 for four downloads
Obviously you would likely have a mix of heavy and light users so it could come out about the same.
With all of these schemes to share a percentage of the revenue, the agency is sitting pretty no matter how many downloads subscribers make. It's the users who lose out if more files are downloaded unless there's a (reasonable) minimum royalty
How a royalty scheme prevents any type of fraud is a mystery to me. If there's fraud they should tackle that by stopping it, no?
Thank you . Your explanation is very clear, I appreciate your help

I got an email today from Freepik Tooday about changes to calculation of earnings . I still don't get the idea though  This change aims to establish a more robust calculation system that benefits contributors that provide valuable content for Premium subscribers while preventing fraudulent activities performed by some users.
How does this calculation system work?
As with the previous system, earnings calculation is based on the share of the net revenue obtained from Freepiks Premium subscribers. However, under the new system, the PPD rate for a specific download made by a specific subscriber is calculated as follows: Freepik takes one subscribers net revenue and divides it by the number of downloads that subscriber has made during a particular invoice period. Then, this amount is multiplied by 0.5 to calculate the 50% share for the contributor whose resources were downloaded by that subscriber.
To read a detailed explanation of how this new system works, please go to Pay per Download and RPI on Freepiks Contributor FAQs.

Depending on your country's tax treaty, different media (photos, videos, music, other...) may be taxed at different rates, and CM may be applying the wrong rate for your type of content.
It's worth reading the tax treaty and eventually contacting them.
Thank you

Hello
I pay 30% in taxes Even though I filled out the Tax form ! is that normal ? or there is a mistake ... ?
Im Non-US Persons
Depends on your country and the treaty they have with the US
In Shutterstock they take just 10% .. So I think it's weird !
