Uploading your projects is very easy. Just log in and go to the Add new project section in your profile.

Once there, choose a title for your project and upload its content. Keep in mind that each project should include both images and links to illustrate and complement your creative process. Need inspiration? Don’t worry! You can check out a sample project on the website to get your creativity flowing.

Is your project part of a course?

If your project is part of a course, you can add it there so your classmates and teacher can view it and leave comments, congratulations, or suggestions. To do this, simply go to your course, make sure you’ve marked all the units as completed, and head to the Projects section. Once there, you’ll find the Publish project button—just fill in the required fields with your process and you’re done!

If you’re publishing a project as part of a course and you want it to be visible to the entire community (and not just to the teacher and other course students), before publishing it, make sure to select the option Also share in Domestika’s Projects section.

You can also save your project as a draft if you’re not ready to publish it yet and post it whenever you feel it’s ready.

To access the projects you’ve saved as drafts, go to the Portfolio section of your profile.

Need help?

If you’re having trouble uploading your project, here’s a list of the most common issues and how to solve them:

  • If you get an error when uploading content, check that your files don’t exceed the maximum allowed size, that they’re in an accepted format, and that the privacy settings of the site you’re sharing link(s) from are set to public.

  • What formats can I upload to my project? Video and audio files are not allowed; you’ll need to upload them first to a hosting platform such as Vimeo, YouTube, SoundCloud, or similar. Once you have the URL, you can add it to your project. Images have a maximum size of 10 MB each. If they appear cropped in the preview, don’t worry—they’ll display in full once the project is published.

  • Error uploading the cover image: The cover image is the main image representing your project. Its width and height must be between 1200 and 4000 pixels, and the file size must not exceed 15 MB. PNG or GIF files will be converted to JPG.

  • If the “Publish” button is not clickable, it’s because you haven’t filled in the required fields; these are marked with an asterisk (*) or will be indicated when you try to publish. All other fields are optional.

  • If you can’t find the “Publish your final course project” option in the “Projects” section of your course, you may have saved it as a draft in your portfolio. In that case, you can publish it directly from there.

Finally, if you’ve checked all the above and you’re still having trouble uploading your project, we recommend:

  • Clearing your browser data, such as cookies and cache.
  • Switching browsers: due to changes in Firefox settings and permissions, our site may have some issues when accessed from that browser. We recommend using Google Chrome instead.
  • Disabling or adding an exception for Domestika in any adblock, firewall, or browser extensions that make direct changes to third-party websites.
