Public Profiles
Showcase your creations and connect with other users through your personal profile page.
What are Public Profiles?
Public Profiles give you a dedicated page at /u/your-username where other users can discover your custom characters, generated images, and videos. You can customize your profile with an avatar and bio, and build a following within the Secrets community.
Setting Up Your Profile
If you have public custom characters but haven't set up a profile yet, you'll be prompted automatically with the setup flow.
You can also set up your profile manually:
Go to Settings: Navigate to Settings and find the Public Profile section at the top.
Choose a Username: Pick a unique username. The system will check availability in real time.
Add a Bio: (Optional) Write a short bio up to 500 characters to tell others about yourself.
Upload an Avatar: (Optional) Upload a profile picture.
Activate Your Profile: Toggle your profile to make it publicly visible.
Highlighted Content
Pin your best creations to the top of your profile.
You can highlight up to 12 items (images or videos).
Highlighted content appears in a dedicated Pinned section above your content tabs.
Reorder your highlights by dragging and dropping them into your preferred order.
To add a highlight, select the pin option on any of your public images or videos.
To remove a highlight, click the unpin option on the highlighted item.
Content Visibility
You control which images, videos, and characters appear on your profile.
Images & Videos: Toggle visibility on individual images or videos to show them on your profile. Click the "eye" icon on any image or video to make it public.
Custom Characters: Characters with a Public status will appear on your profile's Characters tab.
Only content you have explicitly made public will be visible to others.
Discover Profiles
Click on a custom character's profile page to find the creator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need a profile to use Secrets?
No. Public Profiles are entirely optional. You only need to set one up if you want to share content publicly or if you publish a public custom character.
Q: Can other users see my private chats or messages?
No. Your profile only displays content you have explicitly made public (images, videos, and public custom characters). Private chats, private images, and private characters are never visible.
Q: What happens if I deactivate my profile?
Your profile page will show as inactive and your content will no longer be browsable. Your followers and following lists are preserved, so if you reactivate later, everything is restored.
Q: Can I change my username?
Yes. You can change your username from the profile edit page or from Settings. The new username must be available and meet the same requirements (4–30 characters, letters, numbers, underscores, hyphens).
Q: If I delete a public image, does it disappear from my profile?
Yes. Deleting an image removes it everywhere, including your profile and highlights. If you just want to hide it from your profile without deleting it, toggle its visibility to private instead.
Q: Is there a cost to having a Public Profile?
No. Setting up and maintaining a public profile is free.
