Sell images, audio and video behind a paywall.
Create a Pay to Unlock link with a free blurred image, audio clip or video teaser. Customers preview your content, pay your price and instantly receive the full original.
Blurred until they pay. Yours from start to finish.
Pay-to-unlock runs on PayRequest digital products: you sell the full-resolution set, the preview is whatever teaser you choose to show.
Upload your set
Add your photos or videos as a ZIP — full resolution, up to 50 MB per file.
Set your free preview
Choose a blur level for a photo, or a preview clip length for a track. Both are generated server-side — the full file is never sent to a browser before payment.
Set your price
One-time unlock price in any currency. €5 teaser sets to €120 premium drops — your call.
Share the link
Drop it in your bio, DMs, Telegram channel, X posts or email list. One link works everywhere.
Fan pays, content unlocks
Payment confirms and the full set is delivered instantly — success page, email and customer portal.
One product flow. Three kinds of preview.
PayRequest generates each public preview from the private original on the server, so buyers can evaluate your content without receiving the full file.
Photos
Upload the original photo and PayRequest generates a blurred preview from a shrunk-down thumbnail. It's used as the product image everywhere — shop, product page and checkout.
Audio tracks
Upload the full track and PayRequest renders a short, separate preview clip with a fade-out — like a beat-marketplace or stock-music sample. Add cover art separately for your shop listing.
Pay to Unlock Video
Upload the full video and choose a 5–60 second teaser. PayRequest creates a separate, browser-friendly MP4 preview while the original stays private until payment.
One locked link. Every channel you already use.
No platform to drag fans to. Your pay-to-unlock link goes wherever your audience already is.
Instagram bio
Pin the link where every profile visit can convert.
X / Twitter DMs
Send PPV offers directly to fans who ask for more.
Telegram
Drop unlock links in your channel — or use the free PayRequest /pay bot.
Personal one-to-one offers with instant checkout.
Email list
Your list is yours. Send a drop, get paid, no middleman.
Fans pay with iDEAL, cards, Apple Pay, SEPA, Klarna and 20+ methods via Stripe, Mollie or PayPal — or with USDC crypto if you prefer wallet payments.
Built for creators who tease first, sell second
Photographers
Boudoir, event and portrait shoots — clients preview low-res, pay to unlock the full gallery.
Cosplay creators
Sell exclusive photo sets per character. Tease one shot, lock the other 30.
Fitness & lifestyle creators
Premium content drops for your most engaged followers — posing guides, behind-the-scenes sets.
Models & UGC creators
Sell exclusive sets directly to fans without giving a platform 20% of every sale.
Preset & pack sellers
Show the before/after, lock the Lightroom presets, LUTs or raw files behind the payment.
Musicians & producers
Sell a full track unlock with a free preview clip — like a beat marketplace, without giving a platform a cut of every sale.
Exclusive drops
Limited photo drops for superfans — first come, first unlocked.
Keep what platforms take from you
Fan platforms charge 12–30% of every sale and own your audience. A pay-to-unlock link costs 2% capped at €25 — and your fans stay yours.
Unlocked doesn't mean leaked
Tokenized download links
Every unlock generates a unique, unguessable token tied to that one order — links can't be shared infinitely.
Download limits
Cap downloads per purchase (1–100). A paying fan gets access; the whole internet doesn't.
Expiring links
Set links to expire after 1–365 days. Re-issue from the order page in one click if a fan loses access.
Encrypted storage
Files live on encrypted cloud storage and every download request is verified server-side.
A note on content rules
Stripe, Mollie and PayPal don't permit sexually explicit content — that's a card-network rule, not ours. Implied, artistic, fitness, cosplay and boudoir-style content is generally fine; explicit content is not. If card processing doesn't fit your niche, PayRequest also supports USDC crypto payments with no card network involved.
Pay-to-unlock, answered
What is pay-to-unlock content?
Pay-to-unlock (also called PPV or locked content) is content hidden behind a one-time payment. Fans see a blurred or cropped preview, pay your price, and instantly receive the full photos or videos. With PayRequest it works through a simple payment link — no platform or website needed.
What does PPV mean?
PPV stands for pay-per-view: content a fan pays a fixed price to see once, instead of subscribing monthly. On fan platforms PPV is sold via locked DMs; with PayRequest you sell PPV through a payment link you can share on any channel.
Can I sell pay-to-unlock photos without OnlyFans?
Yes. Upload your set as a digital product, add a blurred teaser image, set a price and share the link in your bio, DMs or Telegram. You keep your fans' contact details and pay 2% per sale (capped at €25) instead of a 20% platform cut.
How does the blurred preview work?
You choose the teaser: upload a blurred, cropped or watermarked version of your content as the product image. Buyers see only that until payment confirms — then the full-resolution files are delivered instantly via the success page, email and customer portal.
What content is allowed?
Card providers (Stripe, Mollie, PayPal) prohibit sexually explicit content under card-network rules. Implied, artistic, cosplay, fitness and boudoir-style content is generally acceptable — explicit material is not. PayRequest also offers USDC crypto payments, which don't involve card networks.
What does it cost?
The Free plan includes everything: unlimited pay-to-unlock links, custom branding and your own domain. You pay 2% per successful sale, capped at €25 per transaction, on top of your payment provider's processing rate. No monthly fee.
Can I sell audio tracks with a free preview clip?
Yes. Upload the full MP3, WAV or FLAC (up to 100 MB) and set a preview length from 5–60 seconds. PayRequest renders a separate, shorter clip with a fade-out — the full track unlocks and delivers instantly after payment.
Can customers download the preview clip and get the full track that way?
No. The preview clip is a separate, shorter audio file rendered on PayRequest's servers — it never contains the rest of the track, so there's nothing further to extract from it.
Lock it. Share it. Get paid to unlock it.
Create your first pay-to-unlock link in under two minutes. Free plan, every feature, 2% per sale capped at €25.
