Title: All My Shutterstock Illustrations Got Rejected - Need Help!
Post by: Fish Eye on November 08, 2024, 13:42

Hi everyone,

I'm Pea, a contributor on Shutterstock, and I'm reaching out for some advice. I recently uploaded 24 illustration images. I created 23 of them using Canva, and for one image, I used AI to expand it. However, after review, all my images got rejected!

Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on what I might be doing wrong or how to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Best, Pea

For anyone stumbling across this profile and wishing to add their advice to help this person.

The rejections are likely down to the person stealing images from other contributors, as discovered in this thread: https://www.microstockgroup.com/shutterstock-com/looking-for-a-mentorfriend-in-the-shutterstock-contributor-business/msg607938/ (https://www.microstockgroup.com/shutterstock-com/looking-for-a-mentorfriend-in-the-shutterstock-contributor-business/msg607938/)

Don't waste your time replying, but do report the person's work and hopefully a ban on here too.

You were already told on Reddit that you cannot sell images that you did not create yourself!

Awe you scared them away.  ;D  👍

Wow one person with 22 images and the other older account with 5,635. I wonder who the thief is?
