Sell pay-to-unlock photos
Lock a photo set or video behind a payment link. Fans see a blurred teaser, pay to unlock, and get instant access — no OnlyFans, no 20% platform cut, no algorithm deciding who sees your content.
Content unlocked
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.
Add a blurred teaser
Use a blurred, cropped or watermarked image as the product photo. That's all buyers see before paying.

One-time unlock price in any currency. €5 teaser sets to €120 premium drops — your call.

Built for creators who tease first, sell second

Boudoir, event and portrait shoots — clients preview low-res, pay to unlock the full gallery.

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.

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.
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.
