@@cristinasala Cristina, all my photos were rejected for quality standards but they are really high quality don't know why...how many tries do i have; i was so positive that will approve them as they looked perfect...Do you know how many tries do i have to re submit new ones; Many thanks in advance!
@@amazinglife9189 sorry to hear that your photos were rejected! Sometimes the "quality standards" reason is vague and it's difficult to understand exactly why they're giving that reason. If this is your first time, you have *only 2 tries* to submit your first batch of photos. After that, you'll have to wait for one month to try again. I don't know if there's a limit to how many tries you can do if you're already an approved contributor. I recommend having a good critical look at your images before you try again, maybe getting someone impartial to give you honest, constructive feedback. Don't try to submit your images again as they are, because they might be rejected again. Sometimes when I create images I see them as excellent in my eyes, but what matters in this case is that _Freepik_ thinks they're excellent for their own specific purposes (mainly getting users to buy their Premium subscription).
@@cristinasala yes they were upscaled as they were AI photos but i guess i must try something easier. I want to create and upload cute kawaii elements that can be used as stickers , sublimations etc. But i can't find inside freepik help faq about the type of file about it. I must upload them as vectors; Svg files; Png files; Or png files ;

thank you for the video, you gained a new subscriber. I really like that you explain things easily and do not bullshit like most of the vidoes on youtube about the topic :)
Thank you, I really appreciate that! 😊 I used to fall for those videos that promise quick easy money from gigs like this, but I want to share the reality it takes a lot of work and it's not that easy. Best of luck with your journey!
By the time reason number 13... I already feel like giving up huahaha... Many thanks dear for creating this very comprehensive rejection tips. You must have gone through many mistakes before sharing it to us haha... I really appreciate and salute you have such patients. 5 stars
Aw, thank you so much, that means a lot! It took a long time but I'm happy that I was able to cover all the reasons. 😄 Also, you can read all the text on their site if you need more details. 👀
I know! Me too. I don't know exactly what their criteria are, I simply know that it is listed as a possible reason for rejection in their guidelines. That's the reason I'm including it in this video and explaining how to fix it: in case someone gets work rejected and is given this reason. I'm not affiliated with Freepik or part of their team, so there are details that I don't know/understand.
Normally I use a 4500x4500 artboard, and the JPG preview is the same size in pixels, exported at 300 ppi from illustrator. As long as you fall within the upload guidelines, you can use any measurements you want.
@@vihangathathsara1073 good question! As far as I know, it should be okay to use them. Keep in mind that I answer questions from the best of my knowledge/experience, but since I'm not part of the Freepik team I can't guarantee it's all 100% correct :)
Hello! As I explain in the video, you have to upload: 1. An EPS file 2. A JPG preview file of your EPS and 3. Both files must have the exact same file name
Hola! Veo que aún subes cosas sobre Freepik. Te conocí en el vídeo sobre las ganancias. Actualmente trabajo para freepik como comisionado pero estoy pensando subir renders 3D también por mi cuenta. Lo que pasa es que no sé si merece la pena el esfuerzo... El pago por descarga en freepik es bastante bajo... Podrías darme tu opinión? Agradecería mucho también una actualización en el vídeo sobre las ganancias. Gracias de antemano😊!
¡Hola! Gracias por tu comentario 😊 ¿Cuando dices que trabajas como comisionado es diferente a lo de Contributor? La verdad es que yo también me estoy cuestionando si el esfuerzo merece la pena, y por ahora en mi opinión no, si hacer cada imagen te lleva más de unos minutos. En mi caso, reciclo mucho contenido antiguo para crear lo más rápido posible, y aún así en el año que llevo en Freepik he ganado muy poco. Te dejo aquí la actualización porque no sé cuándo tendré tiempo de hacerla en video: tras 1 año en Freepik, he acumulado 33,22€, con 87 imágenes y 610 descargas en total. El precio por descarga es de aprox. unos 6 céntimos de euro. He visto también que con el nuevo método de cálculo se gana menos que el año pasado por la misma cantidad de descargas 😅 Si alguien me pregunta si vale la pena en cuanto a esfuerzo vs. ganancias le diría que en mi opinión no; hay formas más rentables de ganar dinero online. Para mí Freepik es un experimento que todavía no ha terminado, quiero compararlo con otras páginas de stock por ejemplo y comprobar algunas cosas, así que seguiré usándolo un tiempo 😁 ¡Espero que esto te ayude! Y si haces 3D, puedes probar páginas como Sketchfab o TurboSquid quizá.
@@cristinasala Buenos días! Gracias por tu completa respuesta. Con comisionista me refiero a que Freepik me pide renders concretos por los que me paga directamente una vez se realizan. Para mí es el mejor sistema ya que está bastante bien pagado y no dependes del "azar" de las descargas. Pero quería reaprovechar los assets que creo para esos renders haciendo otros para subirlos por mi cuenta aunque pienso que lo mejor sería hacerlo a otra web como shutterstock...
@@asier_olaizola Ah, ya entiendo. Sí, entonces creo que es mejor quedarse con el sistema que tienes ahora, ya que te pagan sí o sí, mientras que como Contributor puede que no ganes nada o muy poco. Puedes probar otras páginas también, aunque sobre eso no te puedo aconsejar porque no llevo mucho tiempo. En Adobe Stock sí que tengo imágenes y de momento no he ganado nada jajaja 😅 Me sale mucho más rentable trabajar como freelance por ahora
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that! Currently I have 87 published images (not a very large portfolio, considering that many creators have hundreds of images). My total earnings today are 43.32€ from a total of 818 downloads. My current price per download is 0.041€ (this changes often). I would say that downloads in general are pretty slow. I only upload new images whenever I have time outside of work, and not having a consistent upload schedule could be affecting my earnings. My highest month so far was March 2023 (4.43€). I hope this gives you a realistic idea of what to expect! :)
@@cristinasala OK, thank you for your response, Cristina! I'm uploading my work to Adobe Stock and I think I'll stick with it. The earnings there are quite good, and the platform is heading in the right direction. Lately, I've been mainly using AI graphics. Cool channel - I'll be tuning in!
Hi, 2months back i've uploaded 10files and all got approved, later I uploaded 30more files but are still in pending ,please do you know what the problem is?
Hello! It seems like approval times are getting longer every time, sometimes for me it takes a month or more. Unfortunately It's quite normal. Maybe they have a lot more users now and need more time to review everything. But if you're still concerned, maybe you can write to their Support team and they can help you.
Hi Cristina Sala. Thank you very much for the useful information and knowledge you have shared. I have also been a Freepik contributor for 3 months. It's good to have orders bought, but it seems that the commission is getting lower and lower, the most recent I received was 0.02€ for a download. This really frustrates me and I don't know if anyone else has the same problem as me. And one more thing, the review time for a new file is also very long, almost a month to review once. I think this will also miss out on potential downloads during that waiting period. I don't know if there is a way to fix this. This is all I got after a short time working with freepik. It's a pleasure to share it with you. Hope you don't mind this. Sorry my english is not good.
hi, I'm also new to the freepik contributor scene but it seems to take them 20 working days almost every time to approve the designs and I don't think we can do anything about this. But my average price per download now says 0.09€, but in the beginning it was 0.04€. I think it depends on what kind of design is downloaded (vector/photo/psd) and who is downloading - individual buyer or a monthly subscriber.
@@agatadrozdz Hi, thank you very much for your sharing. On the first downloads, I was also expected to get 0.04€ for a download. But when summarizing in the first month I was paid 0.27€ for 1 download. And in the 2nd month, it's only 0.02€. I also think like you, this index can be changed depending on different file types. So I'm waiting for it for the current month, to adjust my design for a better fit. And since I'm new to the freepik contributor, there's still a lot I don't understand. Your comments are very helpful. Thank you so much for sharing these. Wishing you the best of luck and success in your work.
Thank you for sharing your numbers! It really helps to show the reality of it. I've experienced something like this too, so don't worry, it's not your fault. 1 year ago when I filmed my first video, approval was quick (a few days). Now it can take up to a month or so. My earnings have also varied a lot: at first it was 0.07€ per download and now it has gone down to 0.054€. I think this is due to the new compensation system that Freepik introduced in September 2022. That means that your price per download will vary month to month, instead of being consistent like it was before that date. In case you're curious to try other platforms, I recommend that you explore selling your images in Adobe Stock. On this site, my earnings vary from 0.33-0.99$ per download. I'm quite new to Adobe Stock and I'm not seeing as many downloads, but since you alt have images created, it might be worth uploading them here too. Good luck! 🍀✨
@@cristinasala Oh Cristina Sala, really grateful for your sharing. I have also uploaded the designs to Shutterstock although the price per download on this is higher ($0.1 per download) but the downloads are not much compared to the freepik. Thank you very much for your wonderful sharing. Good luck and success in your work.
@@jonathanjason6100 that's great to hear! I think putting your images in multiple platforms is the way to go. 😊 Thanks again for sharing your experience and best of luck with those downloads!
Hi cris thanks for the video, question i recently upload some psd mockup files to freepik and they were rejected with all of them having this information "image included in psd" My mockups all have images, they are labels created by me and are included in the smart objects... What does freepik wants me to do here, write "images included" in the preview jpg file? Please help me out...thanks
Thank you for your question! This never happened to me before, since I only upload vector drawings, but I hope I can help you. As far as I know, anything related to the mock-up and that the user needs to create their end result should be okay. But if you have added an decorative photo to make it look nicer the safest bet could be to not include it in the downloadable PSD file and add the "image not included" label in the preview JPG. I hope that makes sense! That's all I can think of without seeing the files. Still, I would reach out to Freepik support and see if they can have a look at your specific files, just in case they are rejecting a part of the file that _needs_ to be there.
@cristinasala thank u....I reached out to the freepik support team but till date they have not responded. But your solution is what i opted for after doing some research.....I don't know why I am facing this issue since others hv upload their mockups with images in the psd file but oh! Well 🤷 I guess I will upload it with no images included.....Thanks once more CRIS for responding......
Good luck! I hope they reply to you soon with a solution, and if not, like you said there's the option of uploading with no images included. Hope it goes well 😊
Thank you for your patience! I didn't know the answer, so I reached out to Freepik Support to find out. They told me that yes, you can have two contributor accounts, but you have to keep this in mind: 1️⃣You are not allowed to make referrals from one of your accounts to the others. This would be considered fraudulent behaviour and all of your accounts would be permanently blocked. 2️⃣ You are not allowed to upload the same content. The files would be rejected as duplicated and your account could be temporarily blocked. 3️⃣You can not download your other account's items in order to increase your downloads and increment your earnings. This would be considered fraud and all of your accounts would be permanently blocked. I hope that helps
Hi. Please i uploaded 32 images but the submit button did not show up to submit the uploaded images (now, the content/images are not submitted they are just there). Please why is that and what can I do?
Great question! It's not possible, as far as I know, to disable the Premium status. It's automatically set by Freepik. But that doesn't really matter, because downloads of Free files don't count towards earnings. The way to get earnings is for people to download your Premium files, because Premium users pay a subscription to be able to download them. Downloads can be really slow and it takes a long time to accumulate an amount that you can withdraw. I've been on Freepik for over a year and I've made around 42€ with approximately 70 images. I hope that gives you an idea of what to expect 😊
Thank you for your question! Unfortunately I don't know the specific terms of PayPal and other payment platforms in each country. You could reach out to PayPal themselves to see if they can explain it to you.
Hello! Thank you so much for your tutorial idea. For now I don't upload PSD images and I don't know how to do it properly on Freepik. If I ever decide to upload a PSD asset, I'll make sure to film a tutorial :)
do i need to make my content premium or i can sell them as free? i mean can you earn money if your content is free? because on freepik there are lots of contents for completely free so i am kinda confused
My vector flyer templates rejected because of Trademark / Copyright violation. But i didn't copy another designs or add famous logos, icons, images on my flyer designs. Why is that ? I asked freepik team about this and they sent me general information about the reasons for Trademark/ copyright violations. How to resolve this problem
In this case, I don't know why. It has never happened to me before so I don't have an example or experience to share with you. I'm sorry to hear you got a generic response from Freepik, that doesn't sound helpful at all! Have you replied asking for more details?
Good question. I'm not sure, since AI uses other images to generate results, it might be a tricky area in terms of copyright. Best reach out to Freepik Support to ask them and make sure
From now on I wonder how it would be for creators to: 1) creating content with AI getting better day after day 2) making money out of it This thing could be change forever the way we deal with producing content and producing art. Must we adapt? How? Just thinking out loud.
It's quite uncertain, isn't it? I also wonder about it. As far as I know, the way some Ai models source their training materials atm is quite sketchy, but things seem to be moving very fast. We'll have to adapt somehow, but I don't know how 😅
I still wonder about this. I know AI is evolving and all that but as someone who printed and cut designs before, you need clear, smooth lines to tell the cutting machine what you want. (Amongs other things). What AI does it makes images but the lines are always a horrible mess that needs redoing. It takes more time than making your own stuff. It will be great for ideas and the cleaning part will still be necessary. I do believe it will be helpful but wont completely. There will be other jobs like image merging, image adjustments. I think photobashing will thrive. Until AI can operate printers and cutters for a fair prize I think this market will still be there. I also think hand made things will become more required. Something outside of the digital space. Just some opinions on my part. In general AI is here, we need to accept it and figure out how we can use it to our advantage. There is this weird saying in my language that goes "fire is a great servant but a horrible master". I think this also works with AI and tech.
@@tarinvernon7007 I like that fire saying, what's the original in your language? I wonder the same things! Ai can do a lot of great things, but sometimes it needs a lot of polishing. I'm very curious about whether it will be able to catch up to this or whether it'll be us as artists to fill that gap. If so, what could that look like in terms of jobs? Same with hand-made things, will they become more special in a world filled with Ai products? Does that mean that there will be more earning potential in that niche? Or is there a way craft artists can benefit from Ai too? I wonder what will be.
@@cristinasala Hello and thank you for answering. Its so nice of you to read my long message. The saying originally is: "Oheň je dobrý sluha, ale zlý pán." As for the future we can only speculate. Trends come in circles. Lets prepare for the worst but hope for the best. :)
@@cristinasala Prego, è la verità. I tuoi video sono molto chiari, corretti, utili. Ho concluso che fare il Contributor per Freepik convenga solo a Freepik, ma lo stesso vale anche tutti gli altri concorrenti.
@@davidegriffith Sono d'accordo! Volevo provare come esperimento, perché ho visto molti video in cui si dice che si possono guadagnare molti soldi. Ma secondo la mia esperienza si tratta di un grande sforzo per una scarsa ricompensa.
Mam you want to improve the quality of your content. Previously I told you that please increase your audio level, You assured me that in the future you will do that but till today you do not fix that. Managing an account or replying to a comment is a very easy job, but retaining a subscriber is a big task.
Thank you for your feedback! You must be a UA-cam expert, because you sound like know so much about what the job entails. Since you know so much about it, can you help me? I'm a beginner teaching myself and I don't know how to edit the sound quality of videos that I have already published. When I said "in the future", I meant "for future videos".
Me too! I'd love to post more regular videos. At the moment I'm prioritising some other things in my life outside of UA-cam, so I hope I can come back soon 😊

But if you have added an decorative photo to make it look nicer the safest bet could be to not include it in the downloadable PSD file and add the "image not included" label in the preview JPG. I hope that makes sense! That's all I can think of without seeing the files. Still, I would reach out to Freepik support and see if they can have a look at your specific files, just in case they are rejecting a part of the file that _needs_ to be there.
@cristinasala thank u....I reached out to the freepik support team but till date they have not responded. But your solution is what i opted for after doing some research.....I don't know why I am facing this issue since others hv upload their mockups with images in the psd file but oh! Well 🤷 I guess I will upload it with no images included.....Thanks once more CRIS for responding......
Good luck! I hope they reply to you soon with a solution, and if not, like you said there's the option of uploading with no images included. Hope it goes well 😊
@@cristinasala thanks
can I open a second store on freepik?
Thank you for your patience! I didn't know the answer, so I reached out to Freepik Support to find out. They told me that yes, you can have two contributor accounts, but you have to keep this in mind:
1️⃣You are not allowed to make referrals from one of your accounts to the others. This would be considered fraudulent behaviour and all of your accounts would be permanently blocked.
2️⃣ You are not allowed to upload the same content. The files would be rejected as duplicated and your account could be temporarily blocked.
3️⃣You can not download your other account's items in order to increase your downloads and increment your earnings. This would be considered fraud and all of your accounts would be permanently blocked.
I hope that helps
Hi. Please i uploaded 32 images but the submit button did not show up to submit the uploaded images (now, the content/images are not submitted they are just there). Please why is that and what can I do?
Thank you for your question! I replied to you in another comment :)
I have 1 question for you to answer. How to disable the premium status so that everyone can download it easily and increase their income
Great question! It's not possible, as far as I know, to disable the Premium status. It's automatically set by Freepik. But that doesn't really matter, because downloads of Free files don't count towards earnings. The way to get earnings is for people to download your Premium files, because Premium users pay a subscription to be able to download them. Downloads can be really slow and it takes a long time to accumulate an amount that you can withdraw. I've been on Freepik for over a year and I've made around 42€ with approximately 70 images. I hope that gives you an idea of what to expect 😊
thank you very much, have nice day@@cristinasala
SIR PAYPAL kese mil skta? Pakistan me kia terms and conditions hain paypal ki?
Thank you for your question! Unfortunately I don't know the specific terms of PayPal and other payment platforms in each country. You could reach out to PayPal themselves to see if they can explain it to you.
Could you please do PSD file tutorial for us?
Hello! Thank you so much for your tutorial idea. For now I don't upload PSD images and I don't know how to do it properly on Freepik. If I ever decide to upload a PSD asset, I'll make sure to film a tutorial :)
do i need to make my content premium or i can sell them as free? i mean can you earn money if your content is free? because on freepik there are lots of contents for completely free so i am kinda confused
I replied to your comment in the other video: we cannot choose to make our content free, it's automatically set as premium by Freepik.
thank you from egypt
You're welcome! Thank you for watching 😊
Mam Your video is good but your audio is very low. hope you resolve this problem
Thank you for your feedback! Sometimes I have this problem and I haven't figured out how to fix it
When you edit your video you can increase the gain, and compare with the previous videos. It is a simple error don't worry mam
Thank you! 😄 I'll do it
Do you think we can edit the title and keywords after asset got approved?
No, I've tried and the title and tags can't be edited after. I think this info is also in the Freepik support page
Thanks. I. think we should have the freedom to edit after approve. @@cristinasala
outstanding
Thank you! I'm so happy that you liked it 😊
Thank You
Glad you liked it, thank you for watching!
My vector flyer templates rejected because of Trademark / Copyright violation. But i didn't copy another designs or add famous logos, icons, images on my flyer designs. Why is that ? I asked freepik team about this and they sent me general information about the reasons for Trademark/ copyright violations. How to resolve this problem
In this case, I don't know why. It has never happened to me before so I don't have an example or experience to share with you. I'm sorry to hear you got a generic response from Freepik, that doesn't sound helpful at all! Have you replied asking for more details?
No I didn't ask them again. Does these kind of design rejections cause to my freepik account suspenction ?@@cristinasala
Can I use free ai generated images as sample images on PSD templates?
Good question. I'm not sure, since AI uses other images to generate results, it might be a tricky area in terms of copyright. Best reach out to Freepik Support to ask them and make sure
bhai same upload ki ha pr sab reject huwi ha
Sorry to hear that! If they gave you reasons for rejection other than "quality standards", it might be easy to fix
From now on I wonder how it would be for creators to:
1) creating content with AI getting better day after day
2) making money out of it
This thing could be change forever the way we deal with producing content and producing art. Must we adapt? How?
Just thinking out loud.
It's quite uncertain, isn't it? I also wonder about it. As far as I know, the way some Ai models source their training materials atm is quite sketchy, but things seem to be moving very fast. We'll have to adapt somehow, but I don't know how 😅
I still wonder about this. I know AI is evolving and all that but as someone who printed and cut designs before, you need clear, smooth lines to tell the cutting machine what you want. (Amongs other things). What AI does it makes images but the lines are always a horrible mess that needs redoing. It takes more time than making your own stuff. It will be great for ideas and the cleaning part will still be necessary. I do believe it will be helpful but wont completely. There will be other jobs like image merging, image adjustments. I think photobashing will thrive. Until AI can operate printers and cutters for a fair prize I think this market will still be there. I also think hand made things will become more required. Something outside of the digital space. Just some opinions on my part. In general AI is here, we need to accept it and figure out how we can use it to our advantage. There is this weird saying in my language that goes "fire is a great servant but a horrible master". I think this also works with AI and tech.
@@tarinvernon7007 I like that fire saying, what's the original in your language? I wonder the same things! Ai can do a lot of great things, but sometimes it needs a lot of polishing. I'm very curious about whether it will be able to catch up to this or whether it'll be us as artists to fill that gap. If so, what could that look like in terms of jobs? Same with hand-made things, will they become more special in a world filled with Ai products? Does that mean that there will be more earning potential in that niche? Or is there a way craft artists can benefit from Ai too? I wonder what will be.
@@cristinasala Hello and thank you for answering. Its so nice of you to read my long message. The saying originally is: "Oheň je dobrý sluha, ale zlý pán."
As for the future we can only speculate. Trends come in circles. Lets prepare for the worst but hope for the best. :)
That's cool! Thank you for sharing it. I put it on Google Translate to hear the sound of the sentence 🎵 Agreed, let's be hopeful but prepare.
sala ths is good
Thank you, I'm glad you think so!

@@cristinasala Prego, è la verità. I tuoi video sono molto chiari, corretti, utili. Ho concluso che fare il Contributor per Freepik convenga solo a Freepik, ma lo stesso vale anche tutti gli altri concorrenti.
@@davidegriffith Sono d'accordo! Volevo provare come esperimento, perché ho visto molti video in cui si dice che si possono guadagnare molti soldi. Ma secondo la mia esperienza si tratta di un grande sforzo per una scarsa ricompensa.
Mam you want to improve the quality of your content. Previously I told you that please increase your audio level, You assured me that in the future you will do that but till today you do not fix that. Managing an account or replying to a comment is a very easy job, but retaining a subscriber is a big task.
Thank you for your feedback! You must be a UA-cam expert, because you sound like know so much about what the job entails. Since you know so much about it, can you help me? I'm a beginner teaching myself and I don't know how to edit the sound quality of videos that I have already published. When I said "in the future", I meant "for future videos".
Thank you
You're welcome! Best of luck ✨️
@@cristinasala I see you haven't posted a video for a long time. I want regular videos 🙂
Me too! I'd love to post more regular videos. At the moment I'm prioritising some other things in my life outside of UA-cam, so I hope I can come back soon 😊
