Three things a notice board cannot do

You set the rate, not an agency

Your day-rate range and your usage terms sit on the profile before anyone contacts you, so the conversation starts at a number you chose. Nobody takes twenty percent of a booking you made yourself.

Rates and usage →

Brands find you by what they need

Category, city, age, height and availability are structured fields, not sentences in a bio. A brand filters to the handful of people who fit and emails them. Not a wall of headshots.

How the search runs →

Reviewed first, and 18+ is per photo

Nothing is public until a person has read it. A photo you mark 18+ is blurred in the file itself, not with a CSS trick a visitor can switch off, and the rest of your profile stays visible.

Trust and safety →

Two sides, three steps each

The longer version

If you are a model

Create the profile

Photos, categories, city, height, day-rate range and availability. Twenty minutes, once. Mark any photo 18+ as you upload it.
Submit it for review

A person reads it. Approved profiles go public; a rejection comes with a written reason you can fix and resubmit.
Get contacted directly

Brands who filtered to you email you. Maxgirls is not in the conversation and takes nothing from the booking.

A model can list in several. A brand can filter on several at once. Every frame on this sheet is a page: what the category is booked for, and what belongs in a portfolio for it.

What a booker actually has to approve

Four questions decide whether a marketing team can use a directory at work: how long a shortlist takes, what it costs, whether the site is safe to open in an office, and who is accountable for the data. Here is our answer to each, with nothing claimed that we cannot show you.

Casting software for teams Hire a model

Time: A filtered shortlist of the people who fit the brief, instead of reading four hundred applications from a notice board. It is a difference in workflow, not a measured saving we are claiming.
Money: No twenty percent commission on a direct booking. That is arithmetic on your own budget: on a $2,000 day, the commission a traditional agency charges is $400.
Risk: Every profile is read by a person before publication. Photos marked 18+ are blurred at file level, so the site is safe to open on a work laptop, and there is no age gate anyone has to click through.
Control: EXIF stripped from every uploaded file, and GDPR and RODO handling documented in the privacy policy. The Agency tier adds roles, seats, SSO and annual invoicing.

Asked before signing up

All questions →

Is this an adult site?

No. Maxgirls is a general model directory covering nine categories: fashion, commercial, fitness, beauty and parts, hostess and events, promotional, influencer, art, and 18+. The 18+ category is one of those nine and it is never shown by default. There is no age gate anywhere on this site, and any photo a model marks as 18+ is blurred in the file itself until you choose to confirm your age for that photo.

Do I need an agency to be listed?

No. You create your own profile, upload your own photos, set your own day rate and publish your own availability. A person reviews it, and once it passes it is public and brands can find it. Maxgirls does not represent you, does not negotiate for you and does not take a percentage of anything you book. What a model account includes.

Who can see my photos?

Anyone, once your profile is approved. That is what a directory is for. What you control is which photos you upload, which of them are marked 18+, and whether the profile is published at all. You can unpublish at any time. Location EXIF is stripped from every file on upload, so a photo taken at home does not publish your address. How we handle your data.

How does the 18+ blur actually work?

You tick a box on each photo as you upload it. For a photo marked 18+ we store the original on a private disk that is not reachable from the web at all, and we generate a separate, heavily degraded preview file: the image is reduced to roughly thirty pixels on its long edge, blurred, and scaled back up. That degraded file is the only one the public page references. Clicking it and confirming you are 18 or older sets a cookie, and only then does the server release the original. Turning off CSS in a browser reveals nothing, because the detail is gone from the file that was sent.

How do you stop fake profiles and scam bookings?

Every profile is read by a person before it is published, and a rejection comes with a reason so it can be fixed and resubmitted. That stops stolen portfolios and obvious junk from ever appearing. It does not make a stranger who emails you safe, so trust and safety sets out the four scams that cost freelance models the most money and what to check before you accept a booking.

How much do models earn here?

We do not know, and we will not publish an earnings claim we cannot stand behind. Maxgirls takes no percentage of your bookings and never sees what you were paid. What you set on your profile is your own day-rate range, and it is visible to a brand before they contact you. How much models get paid covers how to research real market rates and which public sources are worth reading.
