View ArticleAdult Content Basics
Behance is all about helping creative people get exposure for their work, and our Adult Wall filter is in this spirit as well. Many countries, schools and companies block web sites that don't offer safe browsing. So, by offering and enforcing this feature, we keep your work available to as broad of an audience as possible.
Content behind the adult wall is available only to registered Behance users who are over 18 and who live in countries where adult content is legal. To learn more about our rules, please visit our Community Guidelines.

When browsing Behance, if you come upon a project that is marked Adult, you’ll need to:
Login, if you aren't already
Turn OFF safe browsing in order to view the project (and other adult projects). If you click Yes, this setting will be saved.

Behance members can Follow your profile and you can, in turn, follow other users. When you Follow someone, their updates (projects they’ve uploaded, Appreciated, or Added to a Moodboard) appear in your For You feed.
The For You feed is the home screen for signed-in Behance creatives. As you follow more profiles, you'll start to see more projects appear in your feed. To view a Project that appears in your For You feed, simply click the Project Cover and the full contents of the project will open for you to view.
In your feed, you may start to notice projects that have a small badge in the corner of the Project Cover. Those projects have been Featured. Our team of curators search for the best creative work on Behance and showcases them using Curated Galleries.
Is Behance Free?
Yes! Participation in Behance is free, and there are no restrictions on the number of projects a member can create. There is also no limit on the number of images/media users can upload. The Behance platform is free for creative professionals across disciplines.

1) If you're in a Team, you can add your Projects from the Team page itself using the Projects dropdown, then checking the box Add to Team Page next to projects you want to add
2) Alternatively, you can add a Project to a Team from the Project Editor. From the Editor, click Settings in the top left, then Discoverability from the next popup, and then Teams. Click Edit next to Teams to choose the Team(s) you'd like to add the Project to. You don't have to be a member of a Team to add your Project to the Team, but an admin will have to confirm that the Project was created for their Team before it will appear. Click Done to save your changes.
*Note: Only public Projects can be added to Teams.
Removing Projects from a Team Page
Team Admins/Owners:
All team admins or owners can remove any Project from a Team page. To do so, click Profile, then select the Team you wish to edit from the Teams dropdown on the next page.
Next, you'll be taken to the Team page where you can click Projects above the Team's user photo. Admins will be able to remove (or add) Projects from any member that has joined their Team. To remove a Project, simply uncheck the box Add to team page.
Non-Admins:
The steps are mostly the same as mentioned above, except that you'll only be able to remove your own Projects. If your Project is Co-Owned with someone, that person also has the permissions to remove the Project.

View ArticleThere is no limit on projects, although we encourage participants on Behance to focus on substance: quality, not quantity.
View ArticleCover images are a key part of the Behance browsing experience -- they allow people to quickly get an idea of your project so they can decide whether they'd like to view the entire work.
Cropping occurs only on the project cover thumbnail. Think of this image as a small preview of the work that will be inside your project.
We've standardized the size of all cover images so that every project is equally represented and adaptable for viewing on all areas of the Network.
Your cover image will be display at 202x158 px, but you must upload an image that is at least 808x632px. The reason for this is so that your cover image will look great on retina display screens. Once you upload an image, you can use our cropping tool to cut it down to the exact size.
View ArticleFirst, check that your code is from an allowed website, and that you're embedding correctly.
Next make sure that you're using the correct code--it should be "embed" or "iframe" code from the website. Please note that we don't support embedding individual images, so if you're embedding from Flickr or 4shared, make sure it's a slideshow or other content, not an individual piece of media.
If you're seeing the error "You may not embed with a SCRIPT tag. Please use an IFRAME, OBJECT, or EMBED tag from a listed site," this isbecause that embed code utilizes Javascript, which we don't support in embeds for security reasons.
In some cases, the embed source has "old" or alternate embed code that doesn't include script tags.
View ArticleBefore publishing, you must choose, or upload, a cover image and set a title and creative field(s).
Cover Image + Title
Creative Fields
View ArticleIf you are unable to publish, there are a few possible causes:
1) Make sure that you have content in your project.
Check this by going to Project --> Edit Project. If you don't have anything in this first section, "Content," then you need to add some work(s).
2) Make sure that you've filled out the required fields under Settings.
Check this by going to Project --> Edit Project --> Settings. Certain fields on this page (Creative Fields, Project Tags, and Project Description) are required in order to publish.
3) Make sure you didn't set your project to "private."
Go to Settings --> Project Visible To. Click "edit" to change the settings.
If your problem isn't described above, please contact support for more help.
View ArticleThere are many ways to filter the Behance Gallery. The default view is by "Featured Projects." These are exceptional projects chosen daily by our curators, based on a number of criteria. You can find your recently uploaded project in the Gallery by using the other filters, such as "Most Recent." If you choose one of the Creative Fields associated with your project from the dropdown menu, and then click "most recent," you'll be able to find your project.
Note: There is a several hour lag time between publishing, and the project being reflected in search results. If you're unable to find your project at first, please revisit behance.net later that day.
If you still can't find your project, you may have a problem with Privacy Settings.
Go to your Project --> Settings --> Project Visible To --> Edit Visibility
View ArticleIf you've published a project but don't see it in your account (especially when logged out), please make sure that your Project isn't set to "Private." You may have accidentally restricted this project's visibility. Go to Edit Project --> Settings --> Project Visible To --> and make sure you haven't changed the visibility to "Private."
You can also check in your Project Drafts by going to My Profile -> Edit Project Drafts.
View ArticleIf you've deleted your content from Behance, it has been removed from Behance's database. Unfortunately we can't impact Google's search results--they usually update their data about every 2-3 weeks, but we can't provide an exact timeline.
View ArticleProjects are the primary way Behance members can showcase their creative work.A Project is a grouping of images, text, videos, and other media, that have a central theme, idea, or purpose and are represented on Behance with a Cover Image.
Here is an example of a Project created by the Behance Design Team.
“Get Discovered with a Knockout Portfolio."
The average project will typically have 10-15 images (there's no limit, but this amount is best when displaying your work) broken up with descriptive text and a compelling title. All public projects are published to your profileand can be viewed by anyone by default.
If you have followers, this project will appear in their Activity Feed. As creatives Appreciate or Comment on your work, you will receive a notification letting you know. Each project is identified by a unique project URL that you can use to share with all of your social networks.Projects can also be co-owned with other Behance members, displayed on any Team you're a member of or added to a Moodboard.
You can always update or unpublish a project at any time and it will update instantly anywhere it is added or shared. However, when a Project is deleted, that action is permanent and all content on the project will be removed from the network.

Uploading Projects From Behance
Using the Editor from Behance will still allow you to push your projects from Behance to your Organization or School Gallery. The main difference is that, at the moment, Galleries are limited to a view of 725px wide rather than 1400px on Behance. Any margins or dividers you add will be kept in proportion using these dimensions.
If you originally uploaded your project using the uploader on Behance.net, you’ll be able to view the projects on your School or Organization page, however if you choose to edit the project, you’ll be prompted to edit the project on Behance instead.
Uploading projects from your School/Organization Gallery
Any projects you upload from the School/Organization Gallery will appear normally in the galleries and can be edited either on Behance or within the Gallery you uploaded it from.
View ArticleWhen you edit an old (prior to May 2015) project, you’ll be met with a warning that the project will be edited in the updated project editor. A number of features have been updated in the new project editor including larger, full bleed images and responsive project pages.
To help Behance members show off their work in the best way possible on ALL devices, we now tile all background images that are uploaded. When you edit an old project that used a long background image (in some cases this was used to create the illusion that a project was full-bleed), that background image will automatically be tiled. We recommend either uploading a new, larger, full bleed image using the new editor or exiting the editor until you have that image ready to upload. Keep in mind, once you click save on a project, those edits CANNOT be undone.
One tip we recommend keeping in mind is that you can edit the spacing that your header takes up--you'll want to reduce this if you want your header image to reach the very top of your project.
View ArticleThe photo will be oriented exactly as it is uploaded, as we have no rotate feature. Before uploading, please open the file and make sure that it is uploaded in the orientation that you would like. If you're still having trouble (i.e. your image looks correct before you upload it, but is rotated incorrectly on Behance), your original file is likely not showing its true orientation. Please try saving the file again, or making a duplicate and saving that before uploading.
