Can I use AI-generated images and video commercially?

Rights in the output pass to you, with no distinction between an account funded by the $0.20 welcome balance and one that has spent thousands. Nothing is watermarked, no attribution is required, and there is no enterprise tier that unlocks commercial use — the terms are the same for everyone.

That covers the usual commercial cases: advertising, product photography, thumbnails, social content, client deliverables, print. Generations made by an agent over MCP or paid per call over x402 are on identical terms.

Copyright in the output itself is unsettled, and it varies by jurisdiction. Several — the United States among them — take the position that a purely machine-generated image has no human author and therefore no copyright, which means you can use it but may not be able to stop someone else from using it. If exclusivity matters to a deliverable, that is a conversation for a lawyer, not a feature request.

Third-party rights are yours to clear. A generated image that reproduces a real person's likeness, a trademarked logo, a protected character or a distinctive artist's style can attract a claim no matter how it was produced. Uploading a reference photo of someone does not transfer their permission to you.

Content rules still apply. The output classifier rejects certain material outright, and the terms of service prohibit specific uses. A file that generated successfully is not, by itself, a judgement that any use of it is lawful.

For client work, generate the people rather than referencing real ones — a synthetic face carries none of the likeness risk of a recognisable one. Where a real person is required, get a release exactly as you would for a photo shoot.

Keep your generations. History records the prompt, model and settings for every result, which is the record you want if provenance is ever questioned. Deleted items sit in the trash for 30 days before being purged.

For brand work, treat model output as raw material rather than a finished asset. Logos and legal text are the two things worth rebuilding by hand, whatever the resolution.
