Creator Guide

You can submit your photo for publication by turning on the “Allow Download” option when posting or editing your photo.

Once approved, your work becomes available for download by creators and designers worldwide. In return, you may receive messages of appreciation from those who use your work.

Review results for publication submissions are notified via push notifications and in-app announcements.

  2. Tap the Discover tab.

  3. Tap the icon in the top left corner.

  1. Open cizucu on your browser and log in.

  2. Go to the Notifications page.

Photo reviews usually take 5–14 business days (excluding weekends and holidays).During busy periods or after holidays, reviews may take longer.

If your review remains pending for over a month, please contact our support chat as a system issue may have occurred.

Please note that reviews are conducted in multiple stages, so even photos submitted simultaneously may finish at different times.

Because reviews involve multiple stages, some submissions may be completed sooner than others, even if they were sent later.

To ensure that all downloadable photos meet quality and safety standards, cizucu regularly updates its review criteria.

As a result, even previously approved works may be re-evaluated and rejected later if they no longer meet current standards.

Review outcomes may vary for works near the approval threshold.

Because cizucu periodically refines its review criteria, even photos similar to previously approved ones may not always pass.

In general, reuploading a rejected photo is not allowed.

However, you may reupload a corrected version as a new submission if the issue is fixable—for example:

  • Missing or incomplete model release

  • Visible trash or retouching errors

  • Incorrect orientation (vertical/horizontal)

Please note that such reuploads are treated as new works, requiring a fresh review process.

Because the review process includes multiple stages, it is normal for some photos to take longer than others to complete.
