Images — photos, illustrations, vectors & icons

In shortUse them almost anywhere, edit them freely, and print up to 500,000 copies on Standard. Merch for resale needs Extended.

You may reproduce, modify and display the asset in any medium as part of a larger work. You may not distribute the asset as a standalone file, or in a way that lets others extract it — for example, as a downloadable high-resolution wallpaper.

Assets marked “Editorial use only” on the asset page may be used only for news, education and commentary. Icon sets may be used icon by icon; each icon is covered by the set’s licence.

Attribution for free assets

In shortFree-library downloads need a credit near the asset or in the credits. Pixaf+ never needs one.

Place the credit where viewers can reasonably see it — beside the image, in the video description, in the app’s credits screen or on the publication’s credits page. Copy it exactly as shown after you download. For example:

AI-generated content

In shortEvery asset is labelled Not AI-generated, AI-assisted or Fully AI-generated. The label travels inside the file.
  • The AI label is shown on the asset page, in search results and in the downloaded file’s metadata. Do not remove it from the file’s metadata.
  • Fully AI-generated assets may not be protected by copyright in every country. You still receive the full licence, but you may not be able to stop others using similar output.
  • You may not use any Pixaf asset to train, fine-tune or evaluate machine-learning models.
  • C2PA Content Credentials are preserved in original files where present. Removing them to misrepresent how an asset was made is a breach of this licence.

Warranty & claims

In shortCreators confirm they hold the rights to everything they upload. If a problem is reported, we act on it and keep your licence record.

Every creator warrants that they own or control all rights in their uploads and have declared AI use accurately. If you receive a claim about an asset you licensed, contact us with your licence ID — your dated certificate shows when and how you licensed it. Indemnity terms for paid plans will be published here when subscriptions open.

Prohibited uses

Pornographic, defamatory or hateful contexts
Implying a person endorses a product or holds a view
Sensitive subjects (health, sexuality, crime) with identifiable people
Trademarks, logos or company identities
Reselling or sharing assets as stock or in asset libraries
Training or evaluating AI models
Content that promotes violent extremism or terrorism
Misleading deepfakes or political disinformation

Cancellation & certificates

Licences survive cancellation
Every licence you obtained stays valid forever for the project it was issued for — after you cancel, downgrade, or if the creator removes the asset from Pixaf.

Each download is logged with a project name. You can re-download the file and open the dated PDF certificate at any time from Downloads, and anyone can confirm a licence on its public verification page.
