Adobe Stock Reviews & Product Details

What I like most about Adobe Stock is that it combines a huge library of ready-to-use creative assets with AI-powered generation tools. I can quickly find stock photos, videos, and templates, or use Adobe Firefly to generate custom images from text prompts and refine existing visuals. This is especially helpful in my freelance work because it saves me time and gives me more creative flexibility across video editing, social media content, and marketing projects.

One thing I dislike about Adobe Stock is that some premium assets can be quite expensive, especially when I’m juggling multiple freelance projects. On top of that, finding the exact visual I need sometimes takes longer than I’d like, simply because the collection is so large. I’d also like the AI generation features to provide more customization options and deliver results faster. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like best about Adobe Stock is the wide variety of high-quality images, graphics, and creative assets available in one place. It makes it easy to find visuals that fit different projects and helps save time when creating marketing materials and other content. I also appreciate how easily the assets integrate with Adobe Creative Cloud applications, making the overall design process more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One downside of Adobe Stock is that some assets can be expensive, especially if you only need a few images or graphics. It can also take time to find the perfect asset when there are so many options available. Overall, I would appreciate more flexible pricing options and improved filtering tools to make finding the right content quicker and easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work in marketing and advertising, so I really appreciate being able to quickly source and export stock imagery at a moment’s notice for both static and video ads. Adobe has a strong selection of stock assets and b-roll footage, which makes it genuinely helpful for my day-to-day work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe includes both AI-generated and human-generated assets, which I find frustrating because it can be hard to tell them apart. I really wish there were a filter to separate the wheat from the chaff when browsing creative assets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's easy to use. I appreciate its seamless integration into Adobe Express and other Adobe platforms. I am able to find the image I am looking for the majority of the time. I am impartial to the use of AI, however, I have noticed that there are quite a few AI images included in the stock. Some good, most of them terrible. There needs to be better QC control.

I mentioned it in my previous comment! It was regarding AI. The AI images used are not all good. I believe there should be better quality control for those images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can easily find high-quality stock imagery for a broad range of situations. As a graphic designer, I also use a wide selection of editable vector stock art that’s compatible with Illustrator and Photoshop. The assets I download show up in my Adobe Libraries, which makes it simple to access and reuse them across projects. Overall, it’s easy to use—the website is straightforward to navigate, and filtering results is quick and intuitive. It’s also helpful that I can generate AI images too.

It can be expensive, and premium imagery and video can end up costing a fortune. The AI-generated photos/imagery can be a bit cheesy, although it’s easy to filter that out in the settings. On the plus side, it’s quick, fast, and reliable. That said, they need to upload new stock photos more frequently. A lot of the imagery is quickly becoming outdated, and I still see the same “office people” images that I would’ve seen 5 years ago. Because of that, I often have to go to more stylistic stock websites to get the results I’m after. They’re getting better at uploading more modern imagery, but a lot of it still feels a bit cheesy.

Adobe Stock usually has clear licensing guidelines, a pretty wide selection, easy ways to filter and find what you're looking for, a seamless integration into Adobe's library, and I've never had an issue downloading the assets quickly. Overall, the pricing structure is a little restrictive and could use some improvement. Ongoing subscription models for freelancers are basically counterproductive. I need to pick and choose when I hit high volume needs for my clients instead of shelling out $30/month, sometimes for nothing. Almost no effort when you first use Adobe stock other than a slight learning curve for how to filter for the assets you want. The one annoying thing to me recently is that AI generated photos are by default mixed in and I'd rather the default be no-AI. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is definitely at the top of the list and restrictive contracts for monthly payments for a year at a time. Inclusion of AI generated photos by default. That's very annoying. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a great variety of photos, vectors & illustrations available on Adobe Stock, and while I haven't used them myself, my coworkers have found some great video footage to use on there too. I really like the options available to narrow your search and LOVE that they have an "Exclude Generative AI" as part of those options. From what I've seen, their pricing per image/video is comparable to most stock companies. I haven't had experience with this price per image/video as we use Adobe Stock as part of our Creative Cloud team plan. But I do know and like that they allow you to search only within their free images/videos as well. I also really like that I can view my licensed files and search within it to find & reuse something when possible; and I like that I can also search by uploading an image as well (great for when you want something similar but not the exact same image) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't really see any downsides to using Adobe Stock, they seem comparable to other major stock companies (I've seen the same images available on multiple stock photo sites). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For many years, I'd search Adobe Stock in conjunction with other similar sites and services as variety was often needed to find the best result. Fast forward to today, and I've been strictly using Stock for quite some time. It has effectively replaced all other services for me. And if it doesn't immediately show me the perfect results, it's easy to find similar that will quickly satisfy. And it all just gets better with time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It seems like Adobe continuously messes with the UI/UX. For a while, I was having issues with things downloading to libraries vs locally. And it's easy to quickly do down a rabbit hole, searching for things that may not eventually work, only to then be unable to return back to the original search and results.

Many buyers and sellers, UI/UX is modern and easy to use, company with history and credibility behind the project. Support replies really quick (usually the same day). As a contributor I can pass a CSV file to add descriptions in bulk. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like limitation for adding images (as a contributor) and the fact that it is hard to find historical taxing information. There is also no application for mobiles for contributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Adobe Stock has a brilliant UI, with all the buttons, sorting and filtering features you need to find the images, videos, or graphics you desire. The search function performs really well and allows you to find what you need quickly for any project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I absolutely despise the presence of AI in stock images. But, I do appreciate the ability to prevent AI images from coming through, by using a filter as part of the search function. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
