Who Owns the Images I Create?
When you create images with AnyKoma, you receive rights to use those images according to your subscription plan. Here’s what that means.
Your Rights to Generated Images
You receive a license to use the images you generate. This license varies by subscription plan:
| Plan | Your Rights |
|---|---|
| Free | Personal use only |
| Starter | Full commercial use |
| Pro | Full commercial use |
| Master | Full commercial use |
See Commercial Use Rights by Plan for detailed rights per plan.
Copyright Considerations
Current Legal Landscape
Under current U.S. Copyright Office guidance (2023-2024), purely AI-generated images may not be eligible for copyright protection because copyright requires human authorship.
What this means:
- You have a license from AnyKoma to use the images
- Copyright protection may be limited for purely AI-generated works
- Images with significant human modification may qualify for protection
Protecting Your Work
To strengthen potential copyright claims:
- Keep records of your creative input (prompts, character designs, story concepts)
- Modify images - Add your own drawings, text, or edits
- Document your process - Save prompt history and design decisions
- Consult a professional for high-value commercial uses
This is general information, not legal advice. For specific legal questions, consult an intellectual property attorney.
