What is Adobe Stock?
Adobe Stock is a stock content library from Adobe that licenses photos, vector graphics, HD and 4K video, and audio for commercial use. You pay through a monthly credit subscription or buy credit packs, and each download uses credits.
The newer AI Studio plans include AI editing features: Type to Edit, Change Color, Change Mood and Expand Image for stock images, plus Animate Image, Audio Match and color changes for video clips. Every plan includes Adobe indemnification of up to US$10,000.
Adobe Stock suits designers, marketers, agencies and content creators who need licensed visuals regularly, especially if they want to edit stock assets before using them.
