Subscriptions do not include premium images, premium templates, premium 3D, Editorial assets, video, or standard images with an extended license.  To license those types of assets, you can purchase those on-demand individually or with Credit Packs for the biggest savings. 

What type of license do I get with subscription downloads? 

Each standard image comes with a standard license.  This allows you to use the licensed image perpetually with unlimited web views, but print runs or views of the image can't exceed 500,000 and you can't use the image on anything you're going to sell. 

You can find more information about license types, including extended licenses, right here

What happens to my unused subscription licenses?  What is a "rollover"? 

The 3-images/month plan, 10-images/month plan, and 40-images/month plan include rollover benefits, which ensure unused subscription licenses continue to be available in your account. 

You can rollover 120-480 unused licenses month to month, depending on your plan, but if you cancel your subscription you'll lose any unused licenses. 

Any unused rollover licenses cannot be used once your subscription has been canceled. 

What happens if I need more licenses than I'm allotted by my subscription? 

You can pay on-demand for individual images at a discounted price or purchase a Credit Pack. 

Assets not available in subscription plans, such as videos and Premium collection, are available individually for download on-demand at the listed prices on the site. 

You can also use Credit Packs, which provide discounted savings across multiple assets. 

What's an extended license? 

Standard licenses allow you to use the licensed image perpetually, but your print runs can't exceed 500,000 and you can't use the image in any items you're going to sell.  For example, you can't print the image on a coffee mug to sell.  The print run limit doesn't apply when the image is only for display on websites, social media, or mobile applications. 

If you need large print runs or you're using the asset in resale, you need to purchase an extended license.  Extended licenses are not included in subscription plans, but you can redeem credit packs toward extended licenses. 

What can I use my credits for? 

Our most flexible purchase option, Credit Packs can be used to license any asset. 

They last for one year (6 months only in Japan, if you have purchased as an individual).  You can buy as many as you need, and the more you buy, the less they cost.  Click here for detailed terms. 

Do credits expire? 

If you reside outside of Japan, unused credits automatically expire 12 months from the date of purchase.  If you are a resident of Japan, unused credits automatically expire 6 months from the date of purchase. 

Should I purchase a subscription plan or a credit pack? 

If you have ongoing image needs, you'll receive the lowest price on images through a subscription.  Our monthly and annual plans offer a variety of options that range from 3 to 750 images a month. 

Credit Packs are designed for flexibility and are best for fluctuating image needs, or to access other content such as video or our Premium collection. 

May I share my license with others? 

If you purchase a team subscription plan, you may share standard assets with the members of your team.  Check out our Teams page for details. 

Do I need to use other Adobe products in order to use Adobe Stock? 

No, you don't need any other Adobe product to use Adobe Stock.  However, there are a number of benefits to using Adobe Stock with other Adobe Creative Cloud products, such as the ability to preview, edit and license in Adobe Photoshop CC before completing your purchase.
