Hey Tumblr, we’ve got a quick update. 

Soon, ads will start appearing on Tumblr blog sites (think: [yourblog].tumblr.com). Ads help support Tumblr and keep the platform running. We know your Tumblr blogs have been where you showcase your art, host your work, and gather your people. We want to be upfront about what’s changing and how you can manage the experience on your blog.

Here's what you need to know 👇

Who will see ads (and who won’t)

Premium users and blogs with custom domains: If you have a Premium subscription, or you’ve bought a custom domain for your blog, your blog site will stay ad-free for all visitors.

Premium users everywhere: If you have Premium, you won’t see ads on any Tumblr blog site. Even ones that aren’t Premium. You stay in your ad-free bubble, wherever you go.

Everyone else: Visitors may see ads when browsing your blog site.

How to remove ads from your blog site If you’d prefer not to have ads on your blog site, you have two options:

Upgrade to Tumblr Premium (and unlock extra perks like early access to new features, Blaze credits, and higher post limits)

Purchase a custom domain for your blog

With either option, your blog site will stay ad-free for everyone. This change won’t affect how you post, create, or connect, but it’s important you know exactly what’s happening and how to control the experience on your blog site.

Tumblr is about to start putting ads on your blog, unless you pay for a premium account or add a custom domain.

These ads won't just just be on your dashboard - as they already have been for ages - but on your blog, in between your own posts. As if you're the one promoting those products/services.

Even if you use an ad-blocker or any other means of not seeing ads on Tumblr yourself, anyone visiting your blog who does not use an ad-blocker will see those ads.
