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.

Go with whatever suits your vision!

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.

Unlist Deviations to Archive Your Art
Exert even more control over your profile and galleries.
Deviants sometimes want to store certain works of art currently in their gallery. Like spring cleaning, they could intend to republish later to put deviations back in the spotlight, or perhaps they're looking for a more permanent storage solution that's less final than deletion, should they need to reference it later.
Think of unlisting sort of like sending something back to drafts! It's still in your studio, but it's not visible in your gallery, ready for any action you may wish to take on it in the future!
To unlist, click the “...” menu on the deviation page, then select “Unlist.” You can also unlist directly from your Studio!
If you decide you want to publish the deviation again, click "Submit" like you would on any item in your Studio.
When you unlist:
Your deviation goes to your Sta.sh.
Deviants with a link to the previously published page will no longer be able to access it, but like any item in your Sta.sh, you
DeviantArt’s 25th birthday is coming up very soon, and looking back over the years, it’s going to be one for the books! 📓👀
Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom by team, journal
Celebrate Pride 2025: The Fabric Of Freedom
2025 commemorates the 50th anniversary of Washington, D.C.’s iconic Pride celebrations, but the essence of pride is woven into the tapestry of history. This year's theme is the Fabric of Freedom, signifying how, while no single thread or pattern defines the community, bringing them together celebrates uniqueness while embodying strength, creative expression, and freedom.
Celebrate With Color
We commissioned @Estheryu to create line art for you to color and celebrate the Fabric of Freedom in whatever hues your heart desires. Submit your finished work of art to your gallery or display your coloring page as a cover image on your profile!
"The design theme of the art revolves around the structure of freedom (wings), the Fabric of Freedom, and most importantly Love yourself."
- @Estheryu
Sew a Badge onto the Fabric of Freedom
For the month of Pride, when you see deviations or comments that are inclusive, supportive, or celebrate strength, award them with the Fabric of Freedom

Instantly remove backgrounds on DreamUp creations
Focus on the subject at hand with DreamUp's newest editing feature!
Tired of wrangling up artistic subjects with your lasso tool? If you've ever crafted an almost-perfect creation in DreamUp, DeviantArt's AI art generator, but wished you could see it against different backgrounds, now you can!
Try it for yourself!
Select a generated DreamUp creation in your library.
Click "Remove background".
For just one prompt, you'll get a transparent image that you can place into any environment you desire. Or you can submit the sleek transparent image just as it is!
Prompt: full body photo of a black cat wearing a red collar, yellow eyes
Prompt: humanoid robot head made of cracked marble and gold joints, wrapped in vines, 3d character design, complex forest background with trees
Prompt: 3d emoji of a cute smiling witch holding a heart
Tip: If you have a subject in mind you'd like to isolate but haven't generated yet, try adding "solid background" or "solid [color] background"
