Envato Market supports FTP uploading for faster and more reliable uploads of large and multiple files. You can upload items from all content types via FTP, but there are slight differences between them, which we’ll explore further out below.
Please note: you will need to have an FTP client installed before following the processes below. We recommend FileZilla’s FTP client and have documented the process using this third-party software. However, you may be more familiar with and are welcome to use an alternative FTP client.
You’ll need an API key to use as your password for FTP upload. If you haven’t got this yet, simply:
- Visit https://build.envato.com/create-token/
- Choose a token name
- In the permissions list below, make sure to check ‘View and search Envato sites’ and ‘View your Envato Account username’.
- Then, click Create Token
Please follow this process for Stock Footage and Motion Graphics Items.
1. Open your FTP client and enter the following details:
- Host: ftp.author.envato.com
- Username: [your Envato username] (this is case-sensitive)
- Password: [your Envato API key]
- Port: 21
- Encryption: Use explicit FTP over TLS
- Click 'Connect' or your FTP client equivalent.
2. Drag your files into the upload area of the FTP client.
3. Wait for your files to process, and then close your FTP client.
4. Go to the Stock Video uploader. Your files will be there ready and waiting.
FTP Upload of Model or Property Releases
If you have Model or Property Releases that you want to upload via FTP you need to create a folder called “releases” and upload all of your releases in that folder.
To ensure any releases uploaded via FTP are mapped to your videos you need to upload a metadata CSV file for your videos in the Stock Video uploader.
Release forms should be .JPG, .PNG or .PDF, and should not be zipped.
Need help? Check out the FTP troubleshooting guide in section 12 of the Uploading FAQ’s.

Themes and Code
All Theme and Code items can be uploaded through your Author Dashboard on either ThemeForest or CodeCanyon. For how to do this, see: How To Upload Your Items to Envato. Here, we explain how to get your Web and Code items to Envato Elements. Select below:
Web and Code items on Envato Elements
Template Kits on Envato Elements
Web and Code items on Envato Elements
Web and code items are integrated between ThemeForest on Envato Market and Envato Elements to make the experience of contributing CMS & HTML Templates to Elements easier.
This works by entering your specific item ID from ThemeForest or CodeCanyon to create a link between the two items, and then bringing across the zip asset file and live preview URL in the Elements App.
The CMS Templates Item Type on Elements includes the following categories:
- Drupal
- Instapage
- Joomla
- Magento
- Muse
- OpenCart
- PrestaShop
- Shopify
- Unbounce
- WordPress
The Web Templates Item Type on Elements includes the following categories:
- Site Templates
- Landing Page Templates
There are two separate Item Types for Admin or Email Templates:
- Admin Templates
- Email Templates
Given the complex nature of these items they must be approved by the ThemeForest or CodeCanyon review teams and exist on Envato Market.
Please follow the detailed steps below to contribute your web and code items from Envato Market to Envato Elements:
- Login to Elements Author with your Envato account.
- Head over to your My Items dashboard.
- Select CMS Templates, Web Templates, Admin Templates or Email Templates from the Item Type dropdown.
- Input the ThemeForest Item ID for the item you wish to contribute to Elements (the item ID can be located in the item URL - e.g. https://themeforest.net/item/item-name/12345678
- Select the Create Item button to begin the upload process.
- The zip file asset and the live preview URL will both be transported over to Elements via integration with ThemeForest. As a result, these two assets are not editable during upload (when you update the items zip asset on ThemeForest the update will also flow through to Envato Elements).
- Only the zip asset file and live preview URL are inserted via the link with Envato Market. Fill in all other required details as accurately as you can and pay strict attention to our Quality Expectations. More specifically, please consider how you can best present your items on Envato Elements.
It is a requirement that items of these types exist on ThemeForest, however that does not mean you should contribute all of your items to Envato Elements. Please avoid older items and focus on your modern, clean and well-presented templates.
A note on author collaboration and partnerships: We're aware that some authors on ThemeForest collaborate or obtain permission from the original designer to create new items with the original author's design. Please keep in mind that Elements is a separate platform to Envato Market and it is your responsibility to ensure you have the rights to list your item on Elements as per the Author Agreement.
Template Kits on Envato Elements
- Items must first be published to ThemeForest on Envato Market.
- Template Kits are then transferred to Elements automatically - don't worry, we will do this for you!
Remember - you need to first be approved as an Envato Elements author. Apply Here!

Graphics
How you upload your items depends on the type of graphic you are submitting. For most Graphics, you will use the Elements Contributor Dashboard. The only exception is for Animated Graphics, which are uploaded via the Portfolio Manager.
Please select the guide that matches your item type:
Upload Graphic Items to Envato Elements
If you have been invited to contribute to Envato Elements, you can upload your graphic items to sell on Envato Elements through the Elements Contributor Dashboard.
Unlike the other content types, graphic items do not need to be uploaded through Envato Market before being added to Envato Elements.
You will only have access to the Elements Contributor Dashboard if you have been invited to contribute to Elements for Graphics. If you’re interested in being considered for Elements, please apply here.

Submit a batch of 3D items for review
- To submit multiple items to review, select them from your portfolio, then on the side panel select ‘item states’ and change the item state to 'submitted for review'.
- To select multiple items and batch edit the title, tags or description, select the items from your portfolio, then on the side panel select ‘batch edit’. Make your edits, ensuring you ‘save’ your changes after each edit, find ‘Administrative Information’ and change the ‘item state’ to ‘submitted for review’. Then press save at the bottom.
-
Once 3D items are submitted they will enter the review queue, which could take a few days for a review decision.
- Within your portfolio, you can filter your submissions to view items that are Not Submitted, Approved, Rejected and Eligible for resubmission.
- Items that are eligible for resubmission have feedback from the review team. If you wish you can make changes to the item and resubmit it again for review.
-
At this time, you won't receive an email with the review decision.
- Instead, you can view the status of your items via Portfolio Manager. From the Portfolio Manager homepage you can navigate directly to your not submitted, rejected, or approved assets.
- 3D items that are approved will be available on Envato Elements immediately.
