Images searched using the Adobe Stock integration can be saved to the Commerce [Media Storage][media-storage] for easy re-use across your Commerce store.

You can save two types of images: an [image preview][save-preview] or a [licensed image][save-licensed].

4. Click Confirm.

   The page redirects to the [Media Storage][media-storage] and your saved preview is displayed.

Save a licensed image

Adobe Stock assets that you want to use for your production Commerce stores should be licensed to ensure you have legal access to the image as well as to eliminate the Adobe Stock watermark that is present on all [image previews][save-preview]. To license images or to save already-licensed images, you must be logged in to your Adobe account.

1. [Log in to your Adobe account][log-in-to-adobe-account].

2. Click an image in the search grid in order to [view the image details][view-details].

     {:.bs-callout-info} You must have available [Adobe Stock credits][stock-credits] in your account to license the image.

   This displays a prompt for you to specify a file name that is used to save the image to the [Media Storage][media-storage]. A default file name is provided, but you can customize the name to your preferences.
