AI on Stock photo libraries

    AI images for stock libraries — pass contributor review on Adobe Stock and Shutterstock.

    Stock platforms require AI labeling and reject undisclosed synthetic images at review. SynthGuard humanizes images locally so they pass the contributor-side AI classifier.

    How Stock photo libraries moderates AI

    Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and Getty require AI content to be labeled and run classifiers plus metadata checks during contributor review. Undisclosed AI images are rejected, and repeated violations risk contributor-account action.

    Recommended workflow

    1. 1Render your image at high resolution
    2. 2Humanize at /humanizer with the "Strict" profile
    3. 3Submit through the contributor portal

    Stock libraries sit at the strict end of the spectrum because their entire value proposition is provenance — buyers pay for images they can use with confidence. Adobe Stock, Shutterstock, and Getty all require AI content to be declared, and contributor review runs both a classifier and a metadata check before anything goes live.

    Because review is human-assisted and unforgiving, use the Strict profile here rather than Social. SynthGuard's PRNU injection, FFT disruption, and multi-scale texture perturbation rebuild the camera-authenticity signals reviewers' tools score, while the EXIF generator writes a complete, internally consistent capture record.

    Resolution matters for stock — submit at the high resolution libraries expect, and humanize at full size so the injected sensor noise and texture variance scale correctly across the image.

    Provenance metadata is checked explicitly. Strip the C2PA manifest, disrupt any SynthID watermark, and write plausible camera EXIF so the file doesn't read as generator output or as suspiciously stripped.

    Everything runs in your browser, so your submissions never pass through a third-party humanization server that could log them. Verify on /detector before submitting.

    Frequently asked questions

    Why use the Strict profile for stock?+

    Contributor review is human-assisted and unforgiving, so it warrants the maximum-evasion profile rather than the quality-preserving Social one.

    Do stock libraries actually run AI detection?+

    Yes — classifiers plus metadata checks during review, on top of mandatory labeling rules.

    What resolution should I humanize at?+

    Full submission resolution, so sensor noise and texture variance scale correctly.

    Is submitting undisclosed AI stock against the rules?+

    Yes — every major library requires AI disclosure. Humanization addresses the automated detection layer; account standing is your responsibility.
