• All Submissions Must Be Family Friendly
• You must be allowed to post the image to Alpha Coders. Usually this either means that you created the image yourself, you have direct and explicit permission from the author, or the author has stated that they allow sharing to promote their work.
• Do not crop content with the intention of removing an author's signature or watermark.
• If you are an author: Thank you for submitting your own original work! Otherwise, please make sure you are giving the original author credit and responsibly sharing.
• We have author rules too. To mark yourself as the author of content you need to have generated it, and it must be unique to you in some way. This means anime screenshots, video game cutscenes, and other images that are not unique to you would not be considered author content. Things like video game screenshots using a camera mode that are unique to you are acceptable.
• You have looked at our Terms of Service and understand the differences between how Alpha Coders treats content submitted by it's original author, and content that has been shared responsibly.
• Funny is fine. Hate is not. Please be careful with touchy subjects.
• Please make a best effort to tag submissions correctly, and in line with how things are categorized at Alpha Coders. Reading our Tag Rules will help.
• Alpha System always tries to show the BEST content to users. Things like poor image quality submitted as a desktop wallpaper will impact if Alpha System will even show the image as a desktop wallpaper. The same applies to all the sites. Smaller amounts of great submissions will get more visibility than large amounts of poor quality submissions.

• We support jpg, jpeg, jfif, png, webp, avif, gif, and mp4 files.
• All Submissions are moderated. Usually our auto moderation system, Alpha System, can handle this. Otherwise, this typically takes less than 24 hours. New users start out with an upload limit to prevent spam.
• Submitting earns you AC Points! You can use points to enter our raffles and win awesome things. We have new raffles every month.

• Please do not submit on shared or temporary email addresses
• Suddenly dumping several hundred or thousands of images (or anything else - reports, etc) greatly increases the risk that your account is seen as spam/abuse and is automatically deleted.
• Mass deleting content, and then resubmitting the same or similar content will also flag an account, and greatly increase the risk of being deleted and banned.

We only allow high quality content. You should either be producing quality content yourself, or have sources that are high quality. Generally, this means you're submitting high resolution images that are unique to you, or from a quality source. Images should still be high quality when viewed at full size.

Key Takeaway: Your submissions should improve overall site quality. If submitting video game content - is it at a similar/better quality than the other content of that video game already on the site?

Alpha Coders is an organized community. You should be able to tag your submissions accurately, and in line with our site structure. If you are uploading content, you should be knowledgeable in the topics the image covers. We also have family friendly standards. You can read more on our rules page.

People visit Alpha Coders for great images for their needs. So we want to avoid duplicates, many variations of the same/similar images, or large amounts of personal photography/game screenshots, or other types of submission patterns that would potentially drown out the best images for any given topic.

All active submitters are in effect working together to create an amazing resource for the open web. We have an active community chat on Discord. This is something you'll need to be a part of - and work with other submitters, and the moderator team, to help keep things organized and running smoothly.

Alpha Coders goal is to always show people the BEST versions of images - sometimes this can mean the version you submit isn't shown as much as another submitter's version. This is a good thing. It means we're all working together to show the best possible images to the community.

• Wallpapers must be at least 1920 pixels wide AND 1080 pixels high with an aspect ratio of 1.1 or more.

• Phone wallpapers must be generally shaped like a phone (taller than they are wide). For some of the large folding style devices, please submit the content to Wallpaper Abyss instead. These guidelines will change based on what popular phone screens look like.

• Gifs must be animated, not just the .gif file type on a static image
• MP4 Files Allowed

• Avatars must be at least 150 pixels wide/high with an aspect ratio of 1.
• An aspect ratio of 1 means that to be considered an avatar, and image needs identical width and heights. 200x200, 400x400, etc
• Animated avatars are allowed.
