"Great Resource but Limited Free Options"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

I like that Adobe Stock not only has stock images, but also stock videos and a vast library of templates to download. The templates cover the full spread of advertising and marketing needs, including posters, business cards, flyers, letters, cover letters, logos, menus, etc. I also really like that their 'free' library is quite extensive, and I can usually find a suitable image within their 'free' range. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I do not have a paid Adobe Stock subscription, and I use their 'free' resources, which can be quite limited depending on what I'm looking for. I often find that their 'free' options have quite a stock-y look rather than a natural or candid look, so sometimes I opt to use Pexels or Pixabay, which have more natural-looking free images. The Adobe ones can look like too much production went into taking them, and they lose their effectiveness because they lack a sense of relatability—they feel too stock imagey. Also, there is a limit on how many free images can be downloaded in a day, which has been frustrating in the past. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Huge, High-Quality Asset Library with Fast Search and Creative Cloud Integration"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

Adobe Stock offers a huge library of high-quality photos, videos, illustrations, and templates. The search is fast and accurate, which helps me find what I need quickly without a lot of extra effort. It also integrates smoothly with Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop and Illustrator, making it really easy to add assets directly to my projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

The pricing can feel a bit high, especially if you regularly need a large number of assets. I also found it confusing at first that some files require credits rather than being available through a straightforward subscription download. That said, the overall quality of the content makes it worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Images, But Pricing Could Be Better"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

I like Adobe Stock for the premium licensed images it offers. As a graphic designer, it's really useful for my daily illustration tasks. I mostly use images and sometimes even the AI features. The initial setup was easy, which is always a plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I'm not happy with the pricing and number of stock images. It's just 10 images and costs approximately 2400, which is way higher than competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy-to-use platform that accepts AI images"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

It is one of the few image sales platforms (photos, illustrations, vectors, and videos) that accepts assets created with Artificial Intelligence. It is an easy-to-use platform, very intuitive, and allows the simultaneous upload of multiple images. I use it daily. I have never needed to use Customer Support. I recommend and suggest it to all my friends! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I think the percentage paid to content creators is low. It could be better. There could also be an improvement in the speed of analyzing submitted assets. The auto-fill for Title and Tags is not always accurate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Expensive and disappointing."
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

I like that the parent company is currently under FTC sanction and DOJ investigation in USA for subscription practices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

Overpriced/poor value. Media selection is extremely weak in video and template categories compared to competitors. Interface is sluggish, slow, and difficult to use (search terms are thin too). Free trial converts to expensive annual subscription with onerous cancellation fees. Have had it for six months and have not used one asset. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Unhelpful Support and Double Charging Issues"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

Frustrating Double Charge Issue with No Support Resolution: Long-Time Customer Left Without Assistance Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I reached out to support for help after using this service for years because I was being double charged on one of my Adobe accounts. Despite being charged for months, they told me they couldn't help me locate or access my account and advised me to contact my bank. When I asked to open a ticket or file a complaint, they directed me back to my bank again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best Place to find Stock Footages"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

Adobe Stock has a huge library of stock footages. It is helping most content creators to make their video or graphic designs more creative and more impact. The downloading and usage of Stock footages is very easy and all you need to have is its premium account. It allows to download the files in multiple resolutions. As it is a service from Adobe, a popular company, it provides an outstanding support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

Adobe Stock is good at its work but only thing is that the plans are more costlier. Except that remaining all are good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe stock is a solid option for Creative Suite users at a price"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

For me, access to Adobe's Creative Suite is the best part. Especially if I am doing rapid mockups. There is less work to find what I need and many quality photos in their library. I tend to do mostly presentations and mock-ups with stock art and photos, so this is the best tool for my purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I think the downside would be the licensing ties to Adobe, which may require that users who work on-site as contractors cannot utilize it if their target contract doesn't also have it.

I also find their pricing model to be obnoxious. Having a subscription gives you very little in terms of usable stock content options. I found I constantly needed to pay more or upgrade my service to access any of the items I needed. I have since stopped using it in favor of other products like Shutterstock.

"Incredible Royalty - free Stock Photos and more"
What do you like best about Adobe Stock?

Adobe Stock has an extensive collection of high-quality photos, illustrations, Fonts, Audios and videos that help designers, marketers, or any professionals to build upon that.

The resources are royalty-free so you don't have to pay extra. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Stock?

I haven't come across any dislike as of now but, for the individual (Less frequent) users it might be a little expensive. Considering the value they are providing for the organizations where the frequency of use is more it's a great investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
