Use AI images responsibly
Powerful tools come with responsibilities. The good news: images you make on img.now are released under CC0, so commercial use is allowed with no attribution required. These guides cover the few common-sense limits and the honest limits of the technology.

- How your prompts and uploads are handled
- The real limits of what models can do
The short version: you can use what you make
Images you create on img.now are released under CC0, so you can use them commercially with no attribution required - in products, ads, client work and more. There is no separate licence to buy. The full detail lives on the image rights page.
The few common-sense limits
Because anyone can generate similar images, you cannot claim a result exclusively, and you should not use the tool to imitate a living artist's signature style or recreate a protected logo, character or trademark. Avoid prompts that target real, private individuals. For the practical version, read are AI images copyrighted and the safety guide.
Honest limits of the technology
These models are powerful but not magic. They still struggle with readable text, exact counts, hands and fine anatomy, and precise brand marks - as the chart shows. None of this is a dealbreaker; a clearer prompt, a negative prompt, or a quick edit handles the large majority of misses. Knowing the limits up front just saves you time.
