Become an Author

After becoming a member, follow these steps to quickly become a PhotoDune author:

1. Take the Author Quiz – The quiz tests that you’ve understood our image requirements and upload process.
2. Submit a Portfolio of Images (after the quiz!) – Submit your portfolio of 5-10 images in a compressed .zip file.  Images submitted  in your portfolio are not placed automatically for sale and do not need to be accompanied by release forms.
3. After uploading your portfolio you’ll be prompted to select whether your images are sold exclusive through PhotoDune.

After review, you’ll receive an email confirming if you’ve been accepted as an author. Now you can start uploading!

Upload, Submission and Review

Images must be RGB formatted JPG files, of at least 2 megapixels (2.0MP) in size.  See image requirements for what is acceptable.

Getting images ready for sale is a 3 step process:

1. Upload Images to PhotoDune.  For portfolios with:
   • More than 5 images we highly recommend using our FTP upload service.
   • Less than 5 images you might consider using our web upload form.
2. Prepare images for submission.
3. Image Review is the final step following upload and submission.

Once images have been accepted they will be listed in the new Portfolio tab that appears on the top of the Author Dashboard and you can start earning!
