This will affect all image and video actions across DeviantArt, including new uploads, editing existing deviations (such as replacing a file), uploading images to comments and Messages, saving drawings in DeviantArt Draw, as well as using DreamUp and Video Creator. Journals and literature submissions will remain available throughout.
We appreciate your patience and apologize for any interruption. Keep an eye out for more updates!

To celebrate the season, share a deviation that reflects the feeling of spring for you, whether that’s blooming flowers, shifting light, lush landscapes, soft textures, or small everyday details that feel full of new life.
