Why do some artworks only appear on the website, not on the mobile app?

i dont have filters for R18 content. however, some works in the app can’t appear due to “publicity setting”, yet it shows up fine if i use an internet browser. what’s happening?

Account Suspended

Hi guys I just got my account suspended. Just wondering if it possible to get my account back? Normally pixiv will turn my arts to private. But this time they just suspended my account. I am so confused

Any way possible to create a japanese bank account without living in japan?

Hello, I am one of the victims who was banned from PayPal for +18 content. However, I use Booth to sell the content. Is there any way I can receive the money from Booth without using PayPal? It seems more like checkmate to me, since the only other option would be an account in a Japanese bank, which supposedly isn't possible since you need to be a resident of Japan, and I don't live in Japan.

I've been blocked after subscribing to a plan

Like the title says, after I've paid the subscription plan, my account immediately gets blocked and I'm unable to contact the cc to get their archive password

Credit Card blocked on the Pixiv end for Fanbox?

I had a notification that Citi blocked my Fanbox payment on my Visa card (has been working fine since 2018) after flagging it for fraud. I resolved it and confirmed with Citi that there is no longer a block on my card, and went back to re-subscribe to a few artists. After two or three artists Pixiv started throwing back "Payment Failed" notices and Citi bank said they have not received any transactions from Pixiv either.

Did Pixiv block my card after the Citi fraud alert bounce? Or is this some hidden change in credit card policy relating to foreign credit cards?

UPDATE: It somehow started working again after 24 hours. There might be some sort of internal fraud control mechanism that prevent you from using a bounced payment mechanism?

Need help troubleshooting

So I subscribed to a pixiv cc last night and this morning when I checked I can't comment the post and cannot send messages to the content creator which is a big problem bcs the password for the archive needed to dm the cc first.

Anybody had the same issues?

Here's the details of my issue

  • When I try to pay my card got declined several times bcs of unsupported region and finally I changed to one that actually works
  • I just created the account on the same day but I don't think it will be a problem

Any help/suggestions is appreciated

Problem displaying header image on user profile page

The header image on user's profile page is cropped differently on different devices. Not a user-friendly solution. It's hard to adjust the image so that it looks perfect in all cropping options. The vast majority of users who use a header image put one of their own works there, and not some pattern that won't be affected by the cropping option. And as a result, if their image looks fine on the desktop, it looks bad on a mobile device. And vice versa. If Pixiv lets users to set desirable header image, it would be better to make it always appear in a consistent proportion and not be obscured by the user's avatar on mobile. In general, such solutions in user's interface should be made by those developers, who have some knowledge about UX/UI and usabiblity at all. Not by designers, who are complete idiots in this matter. Does Pixiv even care about this kind of feedback?

Question I would like to make a payment to an NSFW but I live in the US and I only have USD, what do I do?

Just as the title, I would like to subscribe to a page, however, I have no clue of what to do when it comes for payment. As far as I know, PayPal is no longer available so what should I do? Or should I just gave up?

Asking, does anyone know the source of my wallpaper?

Hey everyone, I’m looking for an image similar to this one. I forget where I got the image, but I'm sure it's on pixiv. Actually, I screenshotted this image about 1-2 years ago, and now I don't know where the image is.

I’m not super familiar with Reddit, because this is my first time using it, but I figured this might be the best place to ask. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!🙏🙏

Does anyone know of any alternative sites to Pixiv for posting NSFW?

I don't get along well with censorship rules... I've been banned a few times for forgetting to make 5 white lines over the "act"

Booth terms

So booth terms changed sometime ago... I sell NSFW image sets on booth but as of recently, it says that anything below waist must be censored... It's not fair for people to pay and still gets censored images so I'm thinking about uploading the NSFWs to mega and have a doc file with link in the product... Is that allowed or will I get into trouble for having a link (in doc file) which takes you to a site which has NSFWs uncensored...

Want to Cancel Booth.Pm order that used Pixiv Coban coins.

Want to cancel Booth.Pm Digital Order using Pixiv Coban coins via a Visa card. Contacted Booth seller and they couldn't cancel becuase they couldn't see my transaction number so they couldn't cancel themselves. They told me to contact Booth.pm support and I did. Awaiting response.

My bank shows that Pixiv Conan did go through but is pending and has been pending for days. So I'm guessing it's not going to go through all the way.

Should I contact Pixiv Coban, the only issue is they are Japanese based and that may be a problem with US users. If everything else fails should I contact my bank? Not sure what to say to my bank. I just don't want this transaction on my bank account. Thank you.

Does the mobile app not allow viewing nsfw works?

I am referring specifically to the app and not using the website on a mobile device. As far as I can tell, there are no tabs or icons showing the option to enable nsfw content. I have already confirmed my age to be over 18 and yet there is no setting or tab to enable nsfw visibility. Even typing tags associated with nsfw works doesn't even show anything of the sort.

Pixiv Account Suspension After Using AI Images

I'm going through a tough situation. I've been publishing novels and illustrations on Pixiv, using AI for both writing and generating images. The content is not particularly bad, usually AI ranking in the 40s.

Well, the sunday, I published a trial of a new series of images with a more photorealistic component (I wanted the lacquered texture), featuring a shiny black naked mannequin using DALL-E (which makes it strictly impossible to have sexual content or copyright infringement). I posted it under the R18 category, but my account was still suspended for sexual content in photos and copyright infringement. I was wondering if anyone has any insight on the following:

  1. I've already submitted my response to the ticket. Is there any chance of getting my account back, or is it pretty much gone for good?
  2. Can I create a new account and publish new works under the same or a different name, or am I basically blacklisted now?
  3. Can I create a new account and republish the novels that weren't flagged from the suspended account?
  4. Is it true that using AI just makes you a target for bans for any small reason?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Extra: An alternative platform that has at least a better AI system?

Selling on BOOTH

Does anyone have any experience selling on BOOTH? When I try to sell illustrations and other merch on there, they tend to get privated randomly, while others remain untouched by the moderation—even though the nature of the illustrations are the same style. My content is quite tame, but doesn’t seem to violate any guidelines (e.g., clothed characters, censored genitalia, no penetration).

There are plenty of other users with content far more risque than mine, but their content isn’t privated.

Would appreciate any input since I’m pretty new to the platform.

Question

Is horror art allowed? I read Pixivs guidelines and I'm still confused because my drawings can sometimes be quite gory, if I censor it in the thumbnail would it be okay?

[Help] How to view a particular fanart on Pixiv mobile from browser?

Using Reddit as an example, if you open a Reddit post on mobile browser, the browser will give you the option to send you to Reddit mobile to view said post (provided you have Reddit mobile installed in your phone).

Is it possible to do the same thing when viewing Pixiv fanart? If you select the Pixiv link of a fanart you found on Danbooru, how to view the same fanart on Pixiv mobile?
