First time here

The feed decides who sees your work. Here you do.

BentBox is a marketplace where creators sell photos, videos and digital content of all kinds directly to the people who want them. You bundle the work into a Box, set the price, and keep 100% of it. No algorithm in between, no monthly quota to feed.

Who sells here

Built for work the big platforms handle badly

Not banned anywhere — just quietly buried. Bodies in motion, costumes, skin, long-form instruction, anything the recommendation engine finds awkward. If your best work is the work that gets the least reach, this is the fix.

Photography & visual art

Series, print sets, archive drops, full shoots. Sell straight to the people who want the work instead of through a stock middleman.

Yoga & movement

Full-length classes, sequence breakdowns, retreat sets. Sold as a package rather than chopped into clips for a feed.

Cosplay & costume

Build diaries, convention shoots, print-quality sets. Charge properly for the months a costume actually took.

Dance & performance

Full routines, rehearsal footage, stage photography. Long-form work that a short-video feed has nowhere to put.

Fitness & training

Programmes, form breakdowns, progress shoots. One purchase, with no monthly membership for you to keep feeding.

Fashion & alt style

Lookbooks, editorial sets, behind-the-scenes. Aesthetic-led work that mainstream platforms keep flagging for skin.

What you'll see

A mall, not a feed

The public pages show what people are posting, in the order they post it. There is no algorithm ranking it, nothing learning your habits to serve you more of the same, and nobody deciding on your behalf what deserves the front page.

So you will scroll past work that is exactly for you and work that plainly is not, sometimes in the same row. Our honest advice is to take it as it comes, without judgement — it is a shop floor, not a feed built to flatter your taste. And it never settles: what is on display next week will be nothing like what is there today.

The door

Someone checks age at the entrance. Verification runs through ProntoID before the age-gated side opens.

The shop floor

The latest work from everyone selling, in the order it was posted. No ranking, no personalisation, no engine learning your taste.

The standards

Every Box is reviewed for quality, presentation and the rules before it goes on display. That is the bar it has to clear.

The checkout

One price, one purchase, instant access. Pay by card, with BentBucks, or with a gift card.

Your side of the mall

As a creator you get the tools to actually sell: pricing you control, scheduling, promo codes, revenue splits with collaborators, collections, and your own community space if you want one.

We hold you to standards of quality and presentation, and we will tell you when a Box does not meet them. What we cannot do is approve only work that pleases everyone — no marketplace could, and one that tried would have empty shelves. Make something you would pay for, present it properly, and let the buyers decide.

The mechanics

How a Box gets made

This is the whole loop, from a folder of files to money in your balance. The full walkthrough with screenshots lives in the guide.

Read the step-by-step guide
Build it

Upload your photos, your videos, or any other digital files into a single Box. Give it a name, a category, and choose whether it publishes to Folio or to the main marketplace.

Say who is in it

If it is only you, or the work is AI-generated, there is nothing more to do. If other people appear, reference a ProntoID release, upload a scanned form, or send a ProntoTag for a digital sign-off.

Price it

Set the amount you want to receive and the commission is added on top for the buyer — or set the final buyer price and have it deducted. Your call, per Box.

Publish

A person reviews every Box before it appears publicly. Go live on approval, or schedule it for a date and time you choose.

Where your work publishes

You choose the neighbourhood, Box by Box

BentBox runs two public surfaces. You pick which one each Box goes to when you build it, so your work never lands next to material you did not choose to sit beside.

Safe for work
Folio
  • The SFW side, at folio.bentbox.co — no age gate for your buyers.
  • Where most yoga, cosplay, fitness, dance and editorial work belongs.
  • Shareable anywhere, including the platforms that would flag the main site.
  • Same account, same Box builder, same payouts.
Visit Folio
Age-gated
The main marketplace
  • An established audience that already arrives expecting to pay for work.
  • Adult content lives here, behind age verification handled by ProntoID.
  • Useful if part of your catalogue is bolder than the rest of it.
  • You decide per Box — publishing to one does not commit you to the other.

Before you sign up

The things creators ask first

A Box is a bundle of digital content — photos, videos, or whatever else you make — sold as one purchase at one price. You decide what goes in it and what it costs. Once someone buys it, the contents are theirs to view and download straight away.

Anyone who makes digital work and wants to sell it directly rather than hand distribution to an algorithm. Yoga and movement teachers, cosplayers, fitness coaches, dancers, stylists, photographers and visual artists all sell here. If your work is worth paying for, it fits.

Almost certainly. BentBox exists for work that mainstream platforms handle badly — body-focused, aesthetic-led, long-form or niche material that gets flagged, buried or demonetised elsewhere. Everything still has to meet our Content Policy and the law, and every Box is reviewed before publication.

That is the design rather than a fault. The public pages show the latest work from everyone selling, in the order it was posted — there is no algorithm ranking it and nothing learning your taste to feed you more of it. Some of what you scroll past will be for you and plenty will not, and the mix changes constantly. Our review checks quality, presentation and the rules; it is not a filter for taste. For a narrower view, browse by category, use search, or stay on Folio.

Partly, and you choose which side you are on. The main marketplace is age-gated and does include adult content. Folio, at folio.bentbox.co, is the safe-for-work surface. You pick where each Box publishes when you build it, so nothing you make appears next to material you did not choose to sit beside.

Nothing to open an account and nothing to list a Box. There is no monthly fee and no subscription to maintain. When you set the price you want to receive, the BentBox commission is added on top and paid by the buyer, so you keep 100% of your listed price. You can also set the final buyer price instead, in which case the commission comes out of that amount.

Payouts are calculated two days before the end of each month, with a $100 minimum balance. Request yours by email and it is processed in the next eligible cycle. Prices and balances are shown in USD; payouts are calculated in EUR and paid in your bank account currency.

It helps, but it is not the entry ticket. Boxes surface through the feed, collections, best sellers and category browsing, and you can run promo codes, revenue splits with collaborators, and an affiliate arrangement with people who promote for you. Plenty of creators arrive with a list and simply move it somewhere they own.

Every Box passes through manual human review before it appears publicly. Releases for anyone appearing in your work are managed through ProntoID and ProntoTag. Age and identity verification is also run by ProntoID — BentBox receives the verification outcome, never the underlying identity documents.

Put one Box up and see what happens.

Opening an account and listing are both free, so the only thing you are risking is the afternoon it takes to build your first Box. Bring the work you already made and could not properly sell anywhere else.
