Hello,

I had been paying for an Adobe Stock Subscription and decided that Adobe Credit Packs were actually more suited to my needs as I needed to purchase Extended Licenses and it was cheapest to do this with Credit Packs. When trying to figure out whether I needed a Plan or Credits I read a blurb that said "Plans vs. Credits, Which is right for you?" and it identified "you can buy credits or plans separately or combine them". So I purchased a credit pack and cancelled my Adobe Stock Subscription. When I cancelled via the online chat the person assisting me asked why I was cancelling and I explained that the credit packs better suited my needs. He proceeded with cancelling my subscription and did not mention anything about losing my existing credits which I paid a lot of additional money for, however my existing credits disappeared. When I contact support they identified that I am out of luck and have lost my credits because I cancelled my subscription.

Has anyone experienced this? Why am I losing my credits if it says credits can be used without a subscription and if I paid additional money on top of my subscription for the credits?

    Thanks for the update Kelly. This is definitely unexpected and I do have an engineer lined up to take a look at this. One more request, can you please sign into https://accounts.adobe.com and can you tell me if on that main page, do you see any Stock items? Are there any messages associated with any of the Stock items there? A screenshot would also be helpful.

    Hi Kelly,

    Sorry to hear that.

    I did go through your account details and noticed that you had Adobe Stock 10 images a month plan which has already been cancelled and all the assets/images have already been used.

    Additionally, you have also purchased credit pack which is valid until 12/11/2018.

    Please help me understand which assets are you referring to so that I can further assist you. Also, please share the case reference number so that I can check your interaction with our support team.

    Regards

    Twarita

    Thanks for the response,

    I am looking to access my remaining 8 credits from the credit pack. I

    believe I only used 72/80 credits.

    My case number is ADB-1098730-C8T0

    Thank you,

    Kelly

    I did both of those things and no luck!

    The original individual I was speaking via chat kept reporting that I permanently lost my credits because I cancelled my adobe stock subscription. I am not sure if they were confusing credits with the 10 free monthly images that you get from adobe stock subscription because they also confirmed that credits can be used with or without a subscription.

    The only thing I see having to do with Adobe Stock is that my "adobe stock on demand" has expired. I see nothing else on this page about stock items.

    I haven't included a screen shot because I see personal information on this page and I assuming this is a public forum!?

    Thanks so much for your help!

    FAQs

    Adobe Stock Credits vs. Subscription? ›

    You can purchase a subscription, a credit pack, or both. Subscriptions are designed for customers who need many standard images, templates, or 3D assets, as subscriptions offer the largest savings (up to 90% off). Credit packs are designed for customers who need many extended licenses, videos, or other premium assets.

    Is Adobe Stock included with my subscription? ›

    Individuals and teams can access Adobe Stock standard assets (standard images, standard templates, and standard 3D assets) through subscription plans. Subscription plans range from three standard assets per month to 750 standard assets per month. Some subscription plans also now include video.

    Do I lose my credits if I cancel Adobe Stock? ›

    No. You can use your available licenses as long as your membership is active, but you forfeit any unused licenses upon cancellation of your membership. Would suggest you to download your remaining assets if you are looking to cancel the subscription as the ones licensed, would remaining forever in your license history.

    Can you use Adobe Stock after subscription ends? ›

    Can I use the assets even after I cancel my subscription? Yes. Once you have licensed an asset, the license is permanent.

    How do credits work on Adobe Stock? ›

    By purchasing an Adobe Stock credit pack, you give yourself flexibility while still enjoying cost savings over buying assets one at a time. You get a specific number of credits, which you can redeem for any asset on Adobe Stock.

    How do plan credits work in Adobe Stock? ›

    When you have a subscription to Adobe Stock, you are purchasing a number of asset credits per month. Those credits carry-over. So while I pay for a subscription for 10 assets per month, I presently have 120 asset credits in my pool. Each image or video has an asset credit cost.

    How many Adobe Stock credits per month? ›

    Our plans range from up to 3 to 750 standard assets a month. Credit packs are designed for those who have fluctuating stock content needs.

    Do I need to credit Adobe Stock? ›

    When images or videos are used in films, TV shows, podcasts, and so on, you must include the credit “Image(s) and/or video(s) used under license from Agency Name/Author Name - stock.adobe.com.”

    Do you have to give credit to Adobe Stock? ›

    Do I need to add a photo credit? We require a photo credit to be added only when using the image in an editorial article. When editorial images are used in print, websites, blogs, etc. you must include the credit line mentioned on the Adobe Stock website and contained in the IPTC credit line field.

    Why can't i cancel Adobe Stock? ›

    If the credit card on your account has expired or the account is in a suspended state, you can't cancel your membership. In this case, a message "Your plan has expired. Please update your payment details to reactivate it." is displayed.

    Where are my Adobe Stock credits? ›

    You can review your license history in the menu under your name at the top of the Adobe Stock webpage.

    How do I cash out Adobe Stock? ›

    If you have earned a minimum of $25, the Payout button will be activated. Click Payout and choose PayPal, Payoneer, or Skrill. Type in the email address that's associated with your payment provider account. (Your email must be valid or your payment request will be declined.)

    What happens to my Adobe portfolio if I cancel my subscription? ›

    Adobe Portfolio is a premium feature, so if you cancel your paid membership and return to the free level of Creative Cloud, your site will remain online for two weeks after the cancellation. After two weeks, your site will come down/offline but can still be accessed through your Editor anytime.

    Can I unlicense Adobe Stock? ›

    Unfortunately there is no way of unlicensing the image which has been licensed once through the Adobe Stock website. I apologize for the experience that you've faced on our website. I have added 1 licenses to your account which you can use for a different image. Let me know if that helps!

    Can you pause your Adobe Stock subscription? ›

    There is no feature of pausing the subscription. If you don't have need for the plan the only option you have is cancelling it(do mind you will have to pay cancellation fees if you subscribed the annual plan).

    What comes with an Adobe subscription? ›

    What's included in the Adobe Creative Cloud All Apps plan? The Creative Cloud All Apps for individuals plan offers 20+ creative apps, including Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects, InDesign, and Acrobat. You also get templates, cloud storage, thousands of Adobe Fonts, and more.

    Why am I paying for Adobe Stock? ›

    Stock is an image database where you can licence images (and videos and also other creative stuff) contributed by others. You probably took a subscription and ticked a “1-month free trial” for Adobe stock.
