Learn easy ways to customize your profile!
Do you want to customize your profile on DeviantArt? Whether you’re trying to personalize your space for the first time or have been decorating your profile for years, here are some tips and tricks to make your profile feel like home.
Theme Is Everything
To start personalizing your Profile, first come up with an idea for the overall vibe you want it to have. This can range from simply selecting a color palette based on colors you like (or artwork in your Gallery) to deciding what backgrounds you want to use to add interesting elements to your Profile. Go with whatever suits your vision!
How to Customize

Adding a Profile cover image is a great starting point for all deviants, and it’s easy to do!
When creating a cover image for your Profile, the recommended dimensions are 1600 pixels by 800 pixels and 1920x1080 resolution at minimum, so the image fits well and appears clearly for all viewers.

2025 Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives by team, journal
2025 Seller's Guide to DeviantArt Exclusives
Focus on what you love: creating art
Exclusives are a way to easily and securely sell adoptables and other one-of-a-kind creations using an automated system to efficiently streamline the sales process, offering more time for your art.
Unlike offerings like premium downloads, which can have many buyers for the same work of art, exclusives are sold directly to one buyer who then becomes the exclusive owner.
Exclusives are often referred to as "adoptables" (detailed character designs or accessories), but they can also be one-of-a-kind works of digital art, photography, 3D art, and so much more!
Try out the feature to see how you can reach more supporters and build your brand, joining creators who love the easy selling process.
"I don't have to worry about file management or keeping track of thousands of images."

Keep the earnings coming with resale
The resale feature extends the reach of your art without any additional work on your part.
