Professional Stock Assets
In addition to Adobe Creative Cloud, Penn State has a limited number of Adobe Stock Credits that are available to faculty, students, and staff on a first-come-first-served basis. Use of licensed Adobe Stock assets are limited to Adobe’s license restrictions.
Sign-Up Instructions
Before requesting access to Penn State’s Adobe Stock account, please make sure to sign up for one of the Adobe Creative Cloud account options. You will be unable to access to Adobe Stock until you are signed up for Creative Cloud.
Standard Assets
Standard Adobe Stock assets no longer require credits for individual users to license with. Users can license as many Standard Adobe Stock assets as they need without affecting the University total credit allotment for the contract year.
Your access will allow you to license and download Standard Photos, Vector Graphics, Templates, and 3D Objects. You will not have access to license Premium assets.
Premium Assets
Penn State has a limited number of credits that can be used for Premium licensing. Use this form to request the licensing of Premium Adobe Stock Assets.
We ask that individuals be conservative with the premium content they request. We suggest that you download and try out the Preview versions of the Premium assets you are requesting before submitting your request.
Generative AI Credits
Generative AI credits are available as part of Penn State’s Adobe Creative Cloud plan. Individuals currently have monthly generative credit amounts but are also able to continue generating content beyond those credit allotments.
Generative credit allotments are subject to change, and changes will be reflected on this website. For the most up-to-date information, please visit Adobe’s Generative AI page: https://helpx.adobe.com/firefly/using/generative-credits.html.
Adobe Stock Alerts Listserv
Users who request access to Adobe Stock are automatically added to this listserv so that they can receive alerts to outages, policy updates, and other information directly related to the Adobe Stock product.
Messages will only be sent when absolutely needed which will only be a few times a year.
Unsubscribing from the list will result in your access to Stock being removed. You can re-request access by completing the form above should you need access again.
