What happens after you submit
Updated 29 October 2026
We look at every image by hand before it goes on the site. You can follow your images under Submissions on your account's Overview.

In review
Your image waits for us with an In review label. It isn't on the site yet, and only you can see it. Changed your mind? Click Delete next to it.
Published
When we approve an image, we email you, and it appears on the site, on your profile and under Your images. We sometimes tidy up the title, category or tags so people can find it more easily.
Not accepted
If we can't publish an image, we email you the reason, and it's shown under Submissions with a Not accepted label. Click OK, remove it to delete it. If you don't, it's deleted after 30 days. You're welcome to submit other images. See the submission guidelines for what we look for.
