Your DeviantArt feed is as unique as you are, and to ensure you discover exactly the types of devious art you come across, you'll want to make sure your settings are tuned to your exact specifications.
In your settings, you'll find browsing, the area dedicated to defining what art you might want to see more of, and what you'd prefer hidden in your browsing experience.
Browse Settings
At the top of the page, you'll find a handful of controls that shape how you view and move through the site. Choose how deviations open (full screen or zoomed out), set your preferred thumbnail count per page, and decide whether to scroll infinitely or click through pages of results.
You can also turn on Invisible Browsing, which means you won't show up in other deviants' visitor widgets when you check out their profiles.
Core Members get a few extra options here, including more thumbnails per page.
Browsing Mode
Safe Mode keeps your feed largely free of sensitive content of any type, even ones that might not be labeled as mature content.
Standard sits in the middle of both worlds, showing you everything that's not tagged as Mature.
Mature Mode opens your browsing experience to content tagged as mature by its creators. Note: You'll need to be 18 or older to enable Mature Mode on your account.
Muted Tags
Remove specific content from your Browse and Search results by listing likely tags. Want to avoid spoilers for that finale you still haven't gotten to? Mute it! Tired of seeing that adorable electric pocket monster, for some reason? We may not agree, but you can mute that too! Add up to 100 tags at a time, and optionally unmute them anytime you'd like that content woven back into your feed.
AI Content
The AI Content setting gives you control over how much AI-assisted work appears in your feed. "Show AI" includes all content, including pieces identified as AI-assisted. "Suppress AI" reduces it.
A quick note on how it works: "Suppress AI" utilizes a system that identifies likely AI-assisted content based on multiple signals, without relying solely on creator-applied labels. That means it casts a wider net than self-reported tags alone. Some AI content may still appear, and occasionally a non-AI piece may be filtered.

Some deviants update their browsing settings frequently, crafting their feed to support their mood. Others set it once and forget it. No matter which category you belong to, your feed is yours to shape, and your settings are always there when you're ready to change it up.

The difference between a listing that converts into a sale and one that gets passed over is usually in the details. Here's what makes an Arts & Crafts listing clear, trustworthy, and nearly impossible for buyers to pass up.
Your listing is your first impression ✨
Buyers make fast decisions. Your listing needs to answer their questions before they think to ask them: what is it, what's it made of, what will I actually receive?
Write a clear, specific title
Upload a cover image that shows the item clearly
Include extra photos for additional angles or to highlight details
Describe materials, dimensions, and everything that's included
The more complete your listing, the more confident your buyer.
Pricing, tags, and shipping expectations
The practical side of your listing matters just as much as the visuals.
Set pricing that reflects your materials, time, and shipping costs
Choose tags that help the right buyers find your work
Be upfront about processing time and what's included
Use add-ons where applicable and easy to understand
Keep buyer questions focused and only ask what you truly need
A product page that's clear and professional is one that will turn shoppers into buyers with confidence.
Product photography tips 📷˚
Buyers can't hold your work before they order, so your photos have to depict the full experience.
Natural, even lighting shows your work accurately
A simple background keeps the focus on the item
Tip: You can use Draw to remove the background and make images even cleaner!
The image that shows the full piece clearly should be the cover image
Additional close-ups complete the picture, showing texture, details, and craftsmanship
Multiple angles and a size reference help buyers know what to expect
Skip heavy filters, as color accuracy matters more than mood
The goal is to make a buyer feel like they already know exactly what they're getting… and get excited about it!
Collect what you need, offer what's useful 📝
Arts & Crafts gives you two tools for perfecting the order experience: buyer questionnaires and add-ons.
Questionnaires let you collect the details you need
before even accepting an order. Add custom questions on top of the required shipping information for things like size, color, personalization, or other preferences. Free text, single-choice, and multiple-choice formats are all available.
Add-ons let buyers choose optional extras for an additional cost. Think custom engraving, a premium finish at a higher price point, or additional props. The order total updates automatically as they're selected.
To avoid buyer overwhelm, only ask what you genuinely need to know about to fulfill the order and use add-ons for true optional upgrades.
Every improvement to your listing, your photos, or your buyer questions makes it a little easier for the right person to find your work and order with confidence.
Your creative wares are eager to find their next home!
