Acceptable use
Last updated
Upload photographs you have the right to upload, and do not use these tools to deceive anyone or to hurt anyone. This page exists so that when we refuse something, we can point at the reason we said so in advance.
Do not upload
- Photographs you do not have the right to use, including other people's work and photographs of people who have not agreed to it.
- Sexual imagery of anyone, and anything at all involving a child in a sexual context. Reports of the latter go to the authorities, not to a support queue.
- Photographs of a person used to produce something they would not consent to: intimate imagery, a false depiction of them saying or doing something, or anything designed to humiliate them.
- Identity documents, or any photograph uploaded in order to manufacture one.
Do not use the results to deceive
These tools reconstruct rather than reveal. Presenting a result as an authentic photograph, as evidence, or as proof of identity is a misuse of them, regardless of how convincing it looks.
That includes insurance claims, legal proceedings, journalism, identification, and anything else where somebody will act on the belief that the image is real.
Removing watermarks and marks of ownership
The object eraser exists to clean up your own photographs. Using it to strip a watermark, a signature, a logo, or a copyright notice from somebody else's work is not something we support, and it is why we do not publish tools built for that job.
Do not attack the service
- Do not work around the rate limits, the challenge, or the credit system, including by scripting accounts.
- Do not resell access, or run the tools on somebody else's behalf as a service, without asking us first.
Reporting something
If you believe a photograph of you has been uploaded, or that something here is being used against this policy, write to [email protected] and we will look at it.
Files are deleted automatically after seven days, or thirty for a signed in account, so a report about a specific photograph is more useful the sooner it arrives.
What happens if this is breached
We may refuse a job, suspend an account, or close one. Where we can, we will say why. Where the law requires us to report something, we will.
This sits alongside the terms of service and the privacy notice.
