    👍 Our dedicated social media team creates engaging content from your artists' folios to share across prominent social platforms. We will always tag your agency in our posts.

  • What images sizes should our agency upload?

    We recommend aiming for 1080px along the image's shorter edge. This way our social media team can share content without needing to request larger files. Don't worry if you do not have files that big, our minimum requirements are as follows:

    Minimum Width: 700px
    Minimum Height: 250px

    Our system will automatically resize large images. We accept files up to 50mb but you should aim to keep them under 500kb so that they load quickly.

    Unlimited. We do not restrict your team's creativity and provide tools to help group and target the relevant audience for each of your uploads.

    Step this way! Our agency control panel gives agents access to a plethora of industry-focused questions, giving you the freedom to build compelling Q&As for your own agency and you can also offer the same opportunity to your artists. We put you and your team firmly in the spotlight, sharing interviews with our global art-buying audience.

  • What is the published books upgrade?

    All our agency-owned subscriptions benefit from additional exposure via our Published Books upgrade at no additional cost (usually $29.99 USD). This dedicated section of the site is aimed at artists with a large catalogue of published work. We categorize and highlight content from this section of the site to increase visibility.

  • Do you promote AI (Artificial Intelligence) Artists or allow AI artwork uploads?

    At this time Childrensillustrators.com is not promoting AI-generated artwork or work that has been created using AI text-to-image software.

    Currently, the business model of AI platforms freely exploits copyrighted works. Ethically, we feel artists should be given the choice of opting into AI research with suitable remuneration.

    We will regularly review this policy taking into consideration any new legislation that protects creators from IP and financial exploitation.

  • Do you permit or collaborate with any AI research?

    Childrensillustrators.com does not authorize any AI research, learning or crawling of its platform. We use the NOAI and NOIMAGEAI meta tags across our entire site which explicitly disallows the use of that content by AI datasets. Childrensillustrators.com has no ties or affiliations with any AI research.
