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 categorize submissions correctly. We understand this is difficult - so read your PMs about content
being moved around. These messages are letting you know where to place your submissions.
File Types, The Moderator Process, And Benefits
We support jpg, jpeg, jfif, png, webp, 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.
We also have programs based around our premium users that reward some of the best users in our community.
Spam and Abuse
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.
Website Specific Criteria
Wallpaper Abyss
Wallpapers must be at least pixels wide AND pixels high with an aspect ratio of or more.
Stretching images, or adding borders to meet the size requirements is not allowed.
It is a goal of Wallpaper Abyss to always show the end user the best version of an image. Wallpaper Abyss does not allow duplicates, and inferior
versions get deleted or moved. You can see our exact rules here.
Due to this goal, images with watermarks from other wallpaper/image hosting sites are never considered the best version of an image, and should not be submitted to Wallpaper Abyss..
Images with excessive watermarks are not considered good wallpaper material, and will be moved. Excessive can mean tons of watermarks, or very large distracting placements.
No private photos of you, your friends, family, etc. Wallpapers with personalized messages are not allowed.
Video game content should be high quality. See our post on Video Game Content here for guidelines on what this means.
Mobile Abyss
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.
