Submission Checklist

Here are the steps you need to complete before your content is ready to be published in the collection:

✔️ Create great, exclusive content

If you're looking for inspiration, our Creative Briefs are a good place to start. 

Read our exclusivity policy. 

✔️ Asset selection

Remove unusable options (due to technical or legal issues) and select files with meaningful differences from one another. If you have trouble with this step, reach out to our Editors for help, or try doing a preselect. 

✔️ Post-processing

• Logo removal
• Retouching
• Color & exposure correction
• Creative editing 

See our post-processing guidelines.

✔️ Offline metadata

While you can enter your titles, descriptions, and keywords right in Stocksy's Image Manager, we recommend doing this step offline in your editing software. Metadata will be imported when you upload your content to Stocksy.
