## FAQ
- Does similar content rejection mean my AI image is low quality? Not always. In our review, many similar-content refused samples were technically clean. The issue was often repeated buyer use, title shape, first 10 keywords, or visual pattern.
- Can a good-looking image still be rejected for similar content? Yes. A file can be sharp, coherent, and visually clean but still fail to add a meaningfully different choice compared with nearby variations.
- Is changing color, crop, or props enough? Usually not by itself. If the buyer use, title, and first 10 keywords stay the same, the image may still feel like another version of the same asset.
- What should I check before uploading AI variations? Check whether each image can earn a distinct title, first 10 keyword path, and buyer use. If several images share all three, reduce the set or rewrite the prompt direction.
