Reach the English VTuber community
Dedicated VTuber marketplace filter
Buyers can filter the entire Proofly catalog to show only VTuber-intended models. Your listings appear prominently when buyers search for avatar models for VSeeFace, VTube Studio, and live streaming.
AI-translation into 20 languages
When you publish a listing in English, Proofly automatically translates your title and description into Japanese, Korean, Chinese, German, French, and 15 more languages. English-speaking creators can reach Japanese buyers, and vice versa.
GLB download with in-browser viewer
Buyers can orbit, zoom, and inspect your avatar model in the browser before purchasing — including wireframe mode, normal visualization, and polygon count. This drastically reduces refund requests from buyers who couldn't see what they were getting.
HiddenMark anti-piracy for VTuber models
VTuber avatars are frequently leaked and redistributed without permission. HiddenMark embeds a unique per-buyer watermark in the mesh geometry. If your model is found on piracy sites, you can identify which download was shared and send a DMCA notice.
No exclusivity required
Keep selling on Booth.pm, Gumroad, and MyMiniFactory — Proofly imposes no exclusivity. Add Proofly as a second channel to capture English-speaking buyers who never visit Booth.pm.
0% seller commission
You list at your price, buyers pay a flat $1 service fee, and you receive the full listing amount. No percentage cut, no surprise deductions. Proofly revenue comes from the service fee, not from your sales.

Is Proofly accessible to English-speaking buyers looking for VTuber models?
Yes. Proofly is an English-first international marketplace with the interface available in 20 languages (English, German, French, Spanish, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, and more). The platform has a dedicated VTuber filter — buyers can browse /marketplace?use=vtuber to find VTuber-specific models. Listings are also auto-translated into the buyer's language using AI, so your English description reaches Japanese buyers and vice versa.
Does Proofly support GLB and VRM formats used by VTubers?
Proofly accepts GLB (binary glTF) files — the format supported by VSeeFace, VTube Studio, and most VTuber software that accepts imported avatars. Creators can upload GLB files directly or bundle them in a ZIP with texture and rig documentation. While native VRM upload parsing is not yet available in the in-browser viewer (VRM is a glTF extension), VRM files can be distributed via ZIP download and opened in VSeeFace, VNYAN, or other VRM-compatible applications.
Can I sell on both Booth.pm and Proofly at the same time?
Yes. Proofly has no exclusivity requirement. You can list the same models on Booth.pm, Gumroad, MyMiniFactory, and Proofly simultaneously. Many creators use Proofly specifically to reach the English-speaking VTuber and anime community that Booth.pm reaches less effectively due to language and SEO barriers.
How does Proofly protect VTuber models from piracy?
Every paid download on Proofly embeds a unique HiddenMark watermark — a steganographic code written into the mesh geometry of the 3D file at the byte level. This is invisible in renders and does not affect the model's appearance or performance. If your VTuber avatar is distributed without permission (on Discord, piracy sites, or resale), the watermark identifies exactly which download was shared. Creators receive an automatic email alert with DMCA template if a marked file is publicly verified.
What types of VTuber content can I sell on Proofly?
Proofly supports VTuber avatars (full rigged character models in GLB/OBJ/FBX), 3D props (hand-held items, background objects), face/eye textures, accessories, and scene environments. Use the 'VTuber' intended-use tag when uploading so buyers find your listings through the VTuber filter. Anime-style characters, fantasy humanoids, and stylized creature avatars all fit the platform's catalog.
