PixelPorts is a portfolio platform for designers at every career stage. These guidelines exist to keep it a place where great work can be shared, discovered, and appreciated — by everyone.
We expect everyone on the platform to follow these guidelines. When someone falls short, we'll act — from a warning to permanent removal, depending on severity.
PixelPorts is for design work — UI and product design, branding, illustration, motion, typography, packaging, and related disciplines. Your shots should represent work you created or meaningfully contributed to.
Personal photos, selfies, camera or DVR screenshots, memes, and content that doesn't fall into a recognised design category do not belong here. If you're unsure whether your work qualifies, ask yourself: is this something a design portfolio would include? If not, it probably isn't the right fit for PixelPorts.
No nudity, sexually explicit imagery, or graphic depictions of the human body — regardless of whether it's photographic, illustrated, or AI-generated. We make no exception for artistic intent. PixelPorts is not the right platform for this type of work.
No gore, graphic injury, or imagery intended to disturb or shock. This includes horror-adjacent work that crosses into gratuitous territory. Stylised violence in an obviously illustrative or game-art context may be acceptable — use judgement, and err on the side of not uploading it if you're unsure.
No content that demeans, threatens, or dehumanises people based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or any other characteristic. This includes symbols, iconography, or language associated with hate groups.
Only upload work you created or meaningfully contributed to. Do not pass off someone else's design as your own. If your work includes licensed assets, fonts, or third-party elements, make sure your usage is permitted under their respective licences.
No content that promotes, glorifies, or facilitates illegal activity — including self-harm, drug use, or violence. No content that exploits or endangers minors in any way. Content involving minors in a sexual context will result in immediate permanent removal and may be reported to the relevant authorities.
No memes, screenshots, or content that isn't design work. No repetitive or low-effort uploads intended to game visibility. No promotional content disguised as portfolio work.
Do not impersonate another designer, public figure, or brand. Your profile should accurately represent who you are.
Every new account goes through a quick review before their work appears publicly. We do this to keep the quality bar high for everyone — it's not meant to be a hurdle.
If your submission doesn't meet these guidelines, we'll let you know why. To reapply, upload a new shot that fits within the guidelines above — you'll be walked through the process when you publish.
If you believe your work was rejected in error, reach out at feedback@pixelports.com.
We review reported content and take action based on severity. Minor or first-time violations may result in a warning and content removal. Serious or repeated violations may result in account suspension or permanent removal. Some categories — like content involving minors — result in immediate permanent action.
Where possible, we will notify you of action taken on your account and explain why.
If you come across content that violates these guidelines, please report it using the report option on any shot or profile. You can also contact us directly at feedback@pixelports.com. We review every report.
If you believe your content was removed or your account was actioned in error, reach out to us at feedback@pixelports.com with the subject line “Appeal”. We'll review it and respond as quickly as we can.
We may update these guidelines as the platform grows. If we make significant changes, we'll let you know. The latest version will always be available at this page.
