Creator Program FAQ

Join the Program Featured Artists Monthly Payout Pool


How do I get paid? +
Earnings (the $20 joining bonus and your share of the monthly pool) are added to your account balance. Payouts are not automatic. Email admin@alphacoders.com to request a payout. The minimum is $10. Balances under $10 stay on your account until you request a payout. We can pay you via PayPal, USDC, or USDT on most networks. You can see earnings and payments from your profile.
Do I keep the rights to my wallpapers? +
Yes. You keep full ownership and all copyrights. Alpha Coders gets a non-exclusive, revocable license to display and distribute approved wallpapers on Alpha Coders and to partners (including TVs).
How do I join? +
Apply on the join page with an artist BIO. If you are accepted, 4K desktop/TV wallpapers you submit are reviewed for inclusion. You will get a message when a wallpaper is added to the program.
What wallpapers qualify? +
  • 4K or larger, desktop/TV aspect ratio
  • You are the creator
  • No copyrighted characters or brands
  • Your composition, your style, your hand
  • Family friendly
  • Reviewed and approved into this program
When do I get the $20 joining bonus? +
Once at least 3 of your wallpapers are approved into the program. It is added immediately to your account balance as earnings. To get paid out, email us (minimum $10).
How does the monthly pool work? +
The pool starts at $100/month, funded by our TV partners. Up to 5 approved wallpapers per artist count that month. The pool is split evenly among those approved wallpapers and added to your account balance. The plan is for the pool to grow as partner revenue grows. You can see the current pool here.
Can I submit more than 5 pieces into the program per month? +
Yes, but only the first 5 will count toward that month's pool. This is designed to encourage high quality work, and make being part of the program not be a grind.
How do I see my program wallpapers and payments? +
From your profile. You will also get a message every time a wallpaper is included. Payments are on your payment history page.
Can I leave, or take my wallpapers down? +
Yes. You can remove yourself at any time. Alpha Coders will stop displaying your program wallpapers immediately. Partners (TVs) cache things a bit more heavily and should stop within 30 days.
Can I still submit things like fan art? +
Yes - it just won’t be included in the program.
If some of my content is AI, some is human (me), can I join? +
Yes - but we will only include the human/mostly human pieces.
I submitted a piece a while ago, and it isn’t in the program +
We review all submissions within 48 hours. If a piece isn’t in the program after that, it likely did not meet the requirements (resolution, original work, family friendly, or similar). You can keep submitting other eligible work, and feel free to email admin@alphacoders.com if you think we missed something.
I was part of the old creator program - are all of those submissions still in the program? +
No. This creator monetization opportunity is only for specific submissions:
  • 4K or larger, desktop/TV aspect ratio
  • You are the creator
  • No copyrighted characters or brands
  • Your composition, your style, your hand
  • Family friendly
  • Reviewed and approved into this program
Older creator-program pieces are not included automatically. We review eligible work for this trial.
Where does the funding come from? +
Funding for this is provided by ad revenue from our partners. The monthly pool is planned to increase as that revenue grows.
