A Marketplace Built for Creators
Hartsy is a marketplace built by creators, for creators. Whether you are an artist, model maker, or designer, our platform gives you the tools to sell your work, take commissions, and build your audience.
We believe in giving creators control over how they monetize their skills, with transparent pricing and fair revenue sharing. You set your own prices, you own your work, and you decide how it is shared.
For our official partner models, we work directly with artists who choose to collaborate with us. Community creators can also upload and sell their own models, with Hartsy acting as the platform host rather than a content gatekeeper.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about partnering with Hartsy.
We prioritize creators who bring distinctive styles and consistent quality to the platform. Our selection process for official partnerships focuses on building meaningful, long term relationships with artists who want to grow their reach and income. We are not looking to simply accumulate numbers, we want to help real creators succeed.
Absolutely. You maintain 100% ownership of your original artwork. We only license your work for the specific, agreed-upon purposes outlined in our transparent partnership agreements. You can continue to use, sell, and distribute your work however you choose.
No technical expertise is required. Our team handles all technical aspects of model development and platform integration. You focus on what you do best, creating art, while we handle the technology, keeping you informed throughout the entire process.
Creator partners receive 70% of revenue generated from their models, with upfront licensing fees for datasets, ongoing per-use royalties, and 60% commission share on custom work. Revenue potential varies based on model usage and engagement, with complete transparency through your creator dashboard.
Unlike pure generation platforms, Hartsy is built around a creator marketplace. We prioritize giving artists and model makers a place to monetize their work through commissions, model sales, and royalties. For our official partnerships, we work directly with creators. Because our community can also upload and share models, we require all users to comply with laws governing dataset use in their jurisdiction, rather than making blanket promises we cannot enforce across all user content.
Partner creators receive dedicated support including technical assistance, transparent analytics dashboards, regular performance reports, and direct communication with our team. We're committed to your success and provide ongoing guidance to help you maximize your partnership opportunities.
