Rules for uploading to NeuralStash

Last updated: May 28, 2026

Your rights and our license

You retain ownership of work you submit. By uploading, you grant NeuralStash a non-exclusive, worldwide license to host, display, promote, and distribute previews and full files to end users under our public buyer license.

NeuralStash does not require exclusivity. You may list the same work on other non-exclusive marketplaces (e.g. Adobe Stock, Vecteezy) only if you have the rights to grant NeuralStash this license and you are not bound by an exclusive deal elsewhere for those files.

You are responsible for compliance with each platform’s AI content rules and with the license terms of the generative tools you used (commercial redistribution and stock sublicensing must be allowed).

By uploading, you confirm that

  • You own or have rights to distribute the work you submit
  • Content does not infringe third-party copyrights, trademarks, or publicity rights
  • You will provide accurate titles, keywords, and descriptions (AI-assisted metadata may be refined after upload)
  • Submissions may be rejected or removed at our discretion

Review process

New uploads enter moderation after automated ingest and vision metadata. Most compliant submissions are reviewed automatically; flagged content may receive human review. Only approved assets appear on the public site, in search indexes, and on the homepage.

Rejected uploads and storage

  • When an asset is rejected, the original master file is removed from storage.
  • A watermarked preview may be retained for up to 30 days for contributor reference, then purged.
  • If the master was purged, you must upload a new file to resubmit — metadata-only resubmits are not allowed.

Prohibited content

  • Illegal content, hate imagery, or explicit adult material
  • Deepfakes intended to mislead about real individuals
  • Malware, spam, duplicate uploads, or unrelated files
  • Content you do not have rights to license for stock distribution
