Stock Platform Rules - What to Check

Review these points before delivery, licensing, publication, or client approval.

Creator checks

  • Check current platform submission rules before uploading AI-generated or AI-assisted images.
  • Avoid recognizable people, brands, protected characters, private property, and misleading editorial-style imagery unless the rules clearly allow it.
  • Save tool terms, submission dates, disclosure choices, and platform approvals.

Client questions

  • Can this image be submitted to stock under the platform’s current AI policy?
  • Does the platform require AI labels, releases, or additional metadata?
  • Can the client rely on stock licensing if the image contains AI-generated people, brands, or locations?
