What is Folio

BentBox has two sides.
Folio is the mainstream one.

BentBox has been a marketplace for independent creators since 2015. Some creators sell mature content. Others don't. Both deserve a great place to work — and both deserve audiences that find them easily.

Folio, at folio.bentbox.co, is where the mainstream half lives. Photography, no mature content, no age gate. Built to be browsed like a magazine, shared anywhere, indexed by search engines. Same marketplace under the hood, same payouts — just a different audience.

For photographers and content creators, Folio is a clean front door — a portfolio they can put on a CV, in a bio, in a pitch email, in a search result, without explaining anything.

Who it's for

Folio works for whoever you are.

It's built for the people making the work, the people building an audience around it, and the people coming to look or to buy.

01
For photographers

A portfolio that travels

A clean, indexable URL to put on a CV, in a bio, in a pitch email — anywhere. No age gate, no friction, no "this site contains…" interstitial. Just your work, presented like an editorial.

02
For content creators

A clean place to be seen

Models, content creators and brand collaborators get a public-facing page where the work does the talking. Indexable on Google, shareable on every social profile, safe to send to clients, agencies or family.

03
For brands & audiences

Hire, buy, book directly

Browse Folio like a magazine and reach creators without intermediaries. Buy a print, license an image, commission a shoot — all from the same page, all on BentBox's payment rails.

What's inside

How it works

Three steps. No re-uploads.

If you already publish on BentBox, your existing non-mature Boxes can appear on Folio in under a minute. If you're new, signup is free and the Folio switch is on by default for SFW work.

i

Open your Box admin

In your BentBox dashboard, open any Box that doesn't contain mature content — a print pack, a photo set, a presets bundle.

ii

Flip the Folio switch on

One toggle. The Box stays exactly where it was on the main BentBox marketplace, and now also appears on your Folio profile at folio.bentbox.co/yourname.

iii

Save and share

Same files, same payouts. One extra surface, with a public URL you can put on a business card or in a search-engine result. That's it.

Real economics

You set the price. You keep the audience.

Folio runs on the same commerce engine as the rest of BentBox. No subscription required, no algorithmic gatekeeping, payouts on the same schedule.

How is Folio different from the rest of BentBox? +
BentBox has two sides. The main marketplace at bentbox.co hosts all kinds of independent creator work, including mature content. Folio is the mainstream half — photography only, no mature content, no age gate. Same marketplace under the hood, same payouts, same support. Just a different audience and a shareable, indexable URL.
Who is Folio built for? +
Photographers, models, content creators and anyone who needs a clean, professional portfolio they can share publicly. It's also the front door for existing BentBox creators who want a non-mature page to send brands, agencies and new audiences to.
Do I have to re-upload my work? +
No. If you already sell on BentBox, you can flip the Folio switch on existing non-mature Boxes from your admin and they appear on Folio instantly. Same files, same descriptions, same payouts — one extra surface.
Can I sell on Folio? +
Yes. Folio runs on the full BentBox sales infrastructure. Set any price, sell directly to your audience, get paid out on the same schedule as on the main marketplace. No subscriptions, no algorithm gating, no platform locking your audience away.
What does it cost? +
Nothing to start. Creating a BentBox account is free, and the Folio surface is included. BentBox earns from a transparent commission on sales — the same one that's powered the marketplace since 2015. No subscriptions, no monthly fees, no setup costs.
Is BentBox a real company? +
Yes. BentBox is an independently owned content marketplace founded in Melbourne, Australia in 2015. It has been operating for over 11 years and is run by the same small team that built it. Folio is a section of that same platform — not a third-party product.
