Once you've signed up, you're ready to submit your work to DeviantArt! Whether it's an expressive piece of prose, a cat photo, or an oil masterpiece, you can upload your work to a community of like-minded creatives!

You can begin the submission process from any page by hovering over the "Submit" button in the header. Select "Deviation" to go to the submissions page!

You can also go here to submit visual art. If you're in your Sta.sh, you can submit using the "Submit to DeviantArt" button on any Sta.shed item. It's free to submit your work to DeviantArt, and there's no limit to the number of amazing works you can upload!

You can upload your files individually as you submit on the submit page, or in bulk using your Sta.sh, if you're a Core Member.

On the submit page, you can add files using the "Choose a file to upload" button, drag and drop your work, or select an item from your Sta.sh.

On Sta.sh, you can select or drag and drop multiple files at once to upload in bulk, where your files will be stored until you're ready to submit them. You can also configure email or FTP uploading. For more information on Sta.sh and FTP uploading, read on here!

You should see a thumbnail view of your work! Here you can find options for uploading your file, preview images, permissions documentation, sizing and more. 

Below this section you are also able to add your title, description, and media (like other works on DeviantArt) for your deviation.

Note: Some file types may require a preview image. Animated preview images should be 150px or smaller.

You can add up to 30 tags! Tags are displayed publicly, so be aware that you're tagging your work properly, so it can be found! 

Note: If you've uploaded a deviation in the past and are trying to edit your tags, you won't be able to add or change tags unless you've whittled them down to the 30 tag limit!

With options to add a model, object, or character, you show your audience more of your process! When tagging a model, you can tag a deviant's username, and after the tagged deviant confirms that it's them, their name will be shown on the deviation page. You can also add a location--perfect for when you want the community to know where something takes place!

You have the option to flag it Mature, or send it to your scraps.

In Gallery and Group Options, you can specify which groups and gallery folders you would like to submit your deviation to. To submit to groups you’re not an administrator of, you can use the submit to a group option on your deviation page after you submit. 

In Publishing Options, you can specify whether you would like to enable social sharing buttons on your deviations, enable or disable comments, and select the license you’d like to submit under. 

By default, DeviantArt will remember the settings you've recently selected under the "Options" section, so you don’t have to re-select options each time you submit. 

If you're looking to publish your work later, you can Save & Exit or use the Schedule feature, if you're a Core Member! Be sure to check whether you want to offer your image as a Print, a free download, or Premium Content, and then hit Submit Now!

Your work is ready for the world!
