A new home
for your work.
BentArt is being consolidated into BentBox Folio — the photography section of BentBox, built for artistic, safe-for-work content. Showcase, promote and sell your work, all from one URL.
Why we're doing this
One platform.
One audience.
One catalogue.
This is a strategic consolidation. Artistic, safe-for-work content has long sat in two separate places — BentArt on one side, BentBox Folio on the other — serving the same creators and the same audience from two different addresses.
Bringing it all together on BentBox Folio means a single catalogue, a single audience, and a single URL creators can put their name on. Folio is the photography section of BentBox, hosted at folio.bentbox.co — a clean, editorial space to publish, be discovered, and sell directly.
No mature content, no age gate — so the URLs work everywhere. And concentrating investment, traffic and product development in one place means a stronger platform for the work, and a bigger audience for the creators on it.
What changes, what doesn't
A different surface.
The same idea.
Folio isn't a replacement — it's a more focused version of what BentArt was always trying to be. Here's what carries over, and what's new.
What you keep
The things that mattered on BentArt still matter on Folio — only better supported.
- — Direct sales to your audience. Set any price. Get paid out the same way.
- — Your creative control. No algorithm gating, no subscription wall.
- — The same operational model. Independent platform, transparent commission, no investors, no acquisition.
- — SFW first. Folio is photography-only, no mature content — the same line BentArt drew.
What's new on Folio
Folio brings things BentArt didn't have, on a platform we can actively invest in.
-
—
A clean, editorial profile at
folio.bentbox.co/yourname— a real portfolio URL. - — Public, indexable. Search engines find you, no age gate to navigate.
- — Wider audience. Folio is positioned to send brands, agencies and new audiences your way.
- — Active development. Folio is where new features land — sales tools, profile features, payouts improvements.
How to move
Three steps to be
live on Folio.
We're asking creators to set up fresh on Folio rather than auto-migrating — the two platforms are different enough that a direct copy wouldn't do your work justice. For most people, this is a chance to curate, not a chore.
Create your BentBox account
Free, takes a minute. If you already have a BentBox account, just sign in — your Folio profile lives on the same login. Sign up here.
Publish your work as Boxes
Upload the photo sets, print packs or presets you want to bring across. Mark them SFW and they appear on your Folio profile immediately, ready to share and sell.
Share your new URL
Your Folio profile lives at folio.bentbox.co/yourname. Put it on a CV, in a social bio, in a pitch email — one clean link that works everywhere.
