Quality
Checks format, file size, megapixels, color profile, extreme clipping, low contrast, soft-focus signals, and visible artifacts.
Free pre-submission image check
Check an image before you submit it to Adobe Stock
Upload up to five JPEG or PNG files. Get a Submit, Fix, or Skip recommendation for technical quality, visible IP risk, and similarity inside the batch.
No Adobe account connection. Files are processed for this check and are not added to your StockPhotoScout library.
Your decision will appear here
You will see one recommendation first, followed by the exact quality, visible IP, and similarity signals behind it.
Fix
Review before submission
Three checks, one decision
Visible IP risk
Flags visible logos, protected characters or artwork, product trade dress, public-figure likeness, private information, and release signals.
Batch similarity
Compares the pixels of files in this upload and highlights close visual variants. It does not search Adobe Stock’s full collection.
Use the result as a risk screen. Pre Check is not an Adobe review or legal clearance. Adobe makes the final moderation decision.
Questions before you upload
Does Pre Check guarantee Adobe Stock approval?
No. It screens common visible and technical risks before submission. Adobe makes the final moderation decision and may consider context this tool cannot verify.
Does a low IP risk mean the image is legally cleared?
No. The tool can flag visible logos, characters, artworks, product trade dress, public-figure likeness, private information, or release signals. It cannot prove ownership, permission, trademark status, or release validity.
What does the similarity check compare?
It compares the pixels of files uploaded in the same check. Add at least two files to find close visual variants. It does not search Adobe Stock's full collection.
Are uploaded images stored?
The tool processes files in memory for the current check and does not save them to a StockPhotoScout image library.
Which files can I check?
Upload one to five JPEG or PNG files, up to 10 MB each. The technical report checks Adobe's 4 to 100 megapixel range and other export signals.
