If you sell photos more than videos, ManyVids isn't built for you. SexySelfies is. 80% creator split. Instant photo unlocks. Mobile-first workflow that turns a phone shoot into priced posts in under a minute.
Sell Photos the Easy Way →ManyVids built its reputation as a per-video marketplace. The whole UX, the discovery, the buyer expectations, the merchandising — everything points to video as the primary product. If you're a video creator producing premium clips with real production value, ManyVids is a serious option. If you're primarily a photo creator, you're a second-class citizen on a platform that wasn't designed around your medium.
SexySelfies inverts that. We were built mobile-first for creators whose primary medium is photos. Selfies, mirror shots, set-pieces, boudoir, lingerie — your kind of content is the default content type on the platform. Videos are fully supported too, but the product was designed around the per-photo monetization use case from day one.
That makes a real difference in your earnings, because the discovery, pricing, and presentation are all calibrated for how photos actually sell.

The buying decision for a photo happens in 1–2 seconds. Scroll, see, tap unlock. Pricing has to be low enough to clear that snap decision — $0.99 to $3.99 hits the right zone. The buying decision for a video takes longer: previews, reading the description, deciding if a 10-minute clip is worth $9.99. Different psychology, different price points.
ManyVids was built around the longer video-buying decision. SexySelfies was built around the snap photo-buying decision. The whole stack — UI, pricing options, discovery surface — is calibrated for that fast unlock loop.
A single shoot can produce 30–50 publishable photos. Each photo gets its own price and its own placement in your catalog. Over time, your priced posts pile up into a substantial passive-earning library — a member who finds you in the feed today can buy across a dozen photos before they ever DM you. That compounding effect is dramatically stronger than the per-video model where every piece requires significant production investment.
You shoot on your phone. You should be able to upload from your phone too. SexySelfies' PWA opens like a native app — pick the files, set per-post prices, post. Most photo creators get a shoot from camera to listed-for-sale in under five minutes. That's the operational tempo a photo-first platform should run at.
To be clear: SexySelfies supports video content fully. Upload videos, price them per piece, get auto-transcoded HLS quality ladders (1080p/720p/480p) so playback is smooth on every device. The platform isn't anti-video — it's just optimized around photos first. If your catalog is 80% photos and 20% videos, that's exactly the mix the product is designed for.
A photo creator with a 200-photo catalog priced at an average $1.99 can comfortably hit 100–200 unlocks/month from scroll-feed discovery alone — that's $200–$400/month from passive scroll-feed traffic, all at 80% to the creator. Add DM sales, tips, and the occasional livestream and total earnings layer up considerably.
The same creator on ManyVids would likely be bundling those photos into 10–20 photo packs at $5–$15 each. Packs sell less frequently than individual unlocks because the buyer has to evaluate the whole pack. Per-photo pricing converts more buyers more often.
You don't have to. Many photo creators run both: keep your video catalog on ManyVids where the video buyer is, and put your photos on SexySelfies where the per-photo unlock economy is much stronger.
Not in the traditional ManyVids sense. SexySelfies prices each photo individually because that converts better. The platform's data is clear: individual $1.99 unlocks dramatically outperform bundles for casual buyers. You can post a "set" worth of related photos to your profile — members will frequently unlock several of them in a single session.
80% to creator, 20% platform — flat across every revenue stream. No tier-dependent reductions.
Free teaser posts surface in the scroll feed automatically. The platform's discovery loop is built around feed exposure — you don't need to drive your own traffic to monetize.
No. SexySelfies enforces an "Instagram Plus" content standard. Lingerie, swimwear, boudoir, implied nudity, and tasteful nudes are welcome; full nudity and explicit content are not. ManyVids allows full NSFW — if that's the bulk of your work, keep ManyVids for that material and bring your tamer sets here.
Weekly via Wise once you hit the minimum. Wise's FX rates are dramatically better than legacy payment processors, especially for international creators.
If you've been treating photo sales as a secondary line item on a video platform, SexySelfies puts photos back in the center. Every part of the product is designed for the per-photo unlock economy, from the scroll feed down to the per-post pricing controls.
Photo-first. 80% to you. Built for mobile.
