Any content you publish to your Catch+Release profile is immediately indexed by our search engine. This is how brands can find your content.

The more content you add to Catch+Release, the better your chances of getting licensed. You can add content in a few ways:

  • Connect your Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube accounts to import and automatically publish content

  • Upload content from your phone or computer

Step 1: Sign into Catch+Release and navigate to your profile.

Step 2: Click on the Drafts tab of your profile. From your Drafts tab, you can:

  • Upload content

  • Import content from a new Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account

  • Publish content from an Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account you previously connected to Catch+Release


Uploading Content

1. Choose what to upload. Click the Upload button. A modal will open. Choose the files you want to publish. You can select multiple files.

  • Pro tip: If you are uploading videos, consider adding them in small batches.

2. Add content to uploader. Once you've made your selections, click Add.

  • Pro tip: If you selected a lot of content or large files, you may need to wait a minute or two for the files to process.

3. Upload content. Once your selections have been added, you'll see a confirmation screen with the files listed out. Click Upload. The window will close automatically once files are uploaded.

4. Content will appear on your profile once it has been reviewed by our content moderation team. This can take anywhere from a few seconds to a day.


Importing content from a new Instagram, TikTok, or YouTube account

1. Click "Import" then choose the social media platform you want to connect. You will be asked to give Catch+Release permission to access your content from that platform.

2. Once your social media account is connected to Catch+Release, you can choose whether to automatically publish all your content to Catch+Release. If you would rather pick and choose which content to publish, turn Content Sync off.

Note that Instagram requires an Instagram Professional account. See details and FAQs here.

To publish draft content: Draft content is anything you imported but chose not to publish, or published and then later unpublished. In your Drafts tab, click the connected social media account to view all drafts for that account. You can select drafts one-by-one or click "Select all." Click "Publish" to publish them to your Catch+Release profile.
