📝 Adobe Stock Open Missions Guide 2025 | Earn by Uploading Simple Video Clips
If you’re an Adobe Stock contributor, you may have noticed the Open Missions section inside your Contributor Portal.
Adobe Missions are special content requests where Adobe asks creators to upload specific types of photos or videos to support AI/ML model training. These missions typically offer guaranteed payouts once your submission is accepted—making them a great opportunity for creators who want to earn more consistently.
In this post, I’ll walk you through the two current missions and explain what’s required, how much you can earn, and how to participate.
🔍 What Are Adobe Open Missions?
Adobe Open Missions are direct content or service requests from Adobe.
When you participate, you agree to Adobe’s Supplemental Works Addendum, and your submitted work will be reviewed—usually within 15 days.
If your submission is approved, payment is automatically added to your Contributor account balance.
These missions don’t come often, so it’s a good chance to earn extra income with simple, everyday video clips.
