📘 Pixanomy Licensing FAQ

A clear guide to how you can use images, artwork, and digital assets purchased on Pixanomy.

1. What does it mean to “license” an image?

When you purchase or download content on Pixanomy, you are buying a license to use the content, not ownership of the file or copyright. The creator keeps full ownership of their work.

A license grants you permission to use the content under specific rules.

2. What types of licenses does Pixanomy offer?

Pixanomy offers three main license types:

Standard License

For personal use and non‑commercial projects.

Extended License

For commercial use, merchandise, and large‑scale distribution.

Editorial License

For news, commentary, and non‑commercial editorial contexts.

3. What can I do with a Standard License?

You may use the content for:

• Personal projects
• Social media posts
• Blogs and websites
• Digital presentations
• School or educational use
• Non‑commercial marketing

The Standard License is ideal for everyday creative use.

4. What is NOT allowed under the Standard License?

You may not:

• Sell merchandise featuring the content
• Use the content in print‑on‑demand products
• Use it in paid advertising campaigns
• Redistribute, resell, or share the original file
• Claim the work as your own
• Use it in logos or trademarks

If you need these rights, you’ll want the Extended License.

5. What can I do with an Extended License?

The Extended License includes all Standard rights plus:

• Commercial marketing and advertising
• Merchandise and physical products
• Print‑on‑demand usage
• Unlimited reproduction
• Use in paid campaigns
• Use in apps, templates, and software (with restrictions)

This license is designed for businesses, brands, and commercial creators.

6. What is an Editorial License?

Some content is marked Editorial Use Only. This means it can be used for:

• News articles
• Blogs
• Commentary
• Educational materials
• Documentaries

It cannot be used for commercial or promotional purposes.

7. Can I use Pixanomy content for logos or trademarks?

No. Content purchased on Pixanomy cannot be used as:

• A logo
• A trademark
• A brand identity element

This protects both creators and buyers from legal conflicts.

8. Can I resell or redistribute the files I purchase?

No. You may not:

• Resell the file
• Upload it to another marketplace
• Share it in a way that allows others to download it
• Include it in a product where the file can be extracted

You are licensing the right to use, not to distribute.

9. Can I modify the content I purchase?

Yes — you may modify content under all license types, including:

• Cropping
• Color adjustments
• Combining with other assets
• Adding text or graphics

However:

• You still cannot claim the modified work as your own original creation
• You cannot resell the modified file as a standalone asset

10. Do I need to credit the creator?

Credit is not required, unless:

• The content is marked “Editorial Use Only”
• The creator specifically requests attribution

However, giving credit is always appreciated.

11. Can I use Pixanomy content in AI training datasets?

No. Pixanomy content may not be used to train AI models or machine learning systems unless the creator provides explicit written permission.

12. Can I use content in NFTs or blockchain projects?

Only with an Extended License, and only if:

• The content is significantly transformed
• The NFT does not distribute the original file
• The creator allows NFT usage

Some creators may prohibit NFT use entirely.

13. What happens if I violate a license?

Violating a license may result in:

• Account suspension
• Removal of purchased rights
• Legal action by the creator
• Financial liability for damages

Always ensure your usage matches your license.

14. Do licenses expire?

No. Pixanomy licenses are perpetual, meaning they do not expire.

However:

• They are non‑exclusive (others can license the same content)
• They are non‑transferable (you cannot give your license to someone else)

15. Can I upgrade from a Standard to an Extended License?

Yes — you can upgrade at any time by purchasing the Extended License for the same asset.

16. What if I need a custom license?

For large brands, agencies, or unique use cases, Pixanomy offers custom licensing. Contact support and we’ll help you get the rights you need.
