How Drift Gallery Works

Everything you need to know — whether you're buying or selling.

For Buyers

Browse

Explore AI artwork from our curated community of artists. Filter by Featured, New, Hot, or Free. Filter by media type (Image or Video). Every piece is created with AI tools like Midjourney, Stable Diffusion, ComfyUI, DALL·E, and more.

Recipes

A Recipe is a copy-paste prompt package. You get the exact prompt the artist used, tool-specific instructions, and style notes. Copy it, paste it into your AI tool, and generate similar results. Recipes typically cost $2–10, and many are free.

Blueprints

A Blueprint is a complete technical workflow. It can include prompts, negative prompts, generation settings, LoRA references, ComfyUI JSON workflow files, and detailed creator notes. Blueprints are for artists with local AI setups. Priced up to $50.

Get Both

When a post has both a Recipe and a Blueprint, the artist may offer a bundle discount. One purchase, both products, lower price.

Tips

Show appreciation by tipping any artist directly. Preset amounts ($3, $5, $10, $25) or custom ($2–$500). Tips go directly to the artist.

Ratings & Reviews

After purchasing a Recipe or Blueprint, rate it 1–5 stars and optionally write a review. Ratings help other buyers make informed decisions. Aggregate ratings appear after 5 or more reviews.

Tool Verification

After purchasing a Recipe, verify whether the prompt worked in each tagged tool. Verified tools earn a green “✓ Verified” badge, helping future buyers know the prompt has been tested.

Fan Subscriptions

Subscribe to your favorite artist for $5–25/month. Artists choose which Recipes and Blueprints are free for subscribers, and can post exclusive subscriber-only content. Subscribers get a “Supporter” badge on their comments.

Your Library

Every Recipe and Blueprint you purchase appears in My Library, accessible from your profile menu in the top navigation. Revisit your purchased prompts and workflows anytime.

Refunds

Recipes are non-refundable (instantly delivered digital content). Blueprints have a 7-day refund window for specific issues. AI output variability is not grounds for a refund. Full details at /refunds.

Video Support

Artists can upload video content in MP4 or WebM format. Videos can be up to 15 seconds long and 50MB in size. Resolution must be between 512px and 4096px on any side, with a maximum aspect ratio of 2.5:1. Video thumbnails are extracted automatically. Video posts autoplay silently in the Explore feed alongside images.

Content Policy

No explicit sexual content or photorealistic gore. Suggestive artistic content (fantasy, fashion, figure work) is permitted but may be flagged as mature. Mature posts appear with a blurred preview in feeds — viewers click to reveal. Artists can also self-tag posts as mature during upload. All uploads scanned by AI content moderation. See /content-policy for full details.

Signatures

Add a signature or watermark to your artwork. Upload your own image, or create one using 30 preset artist-style fonts — type your name, pick a style and color, and save. Create signatures in Settings or directly on the Upload page. Signatures are composited onto your artwork during upload. Control the position, size, and opacity on each post.
