I am a self publisher, can I use content created with Envato’s Ai for cover and interior images for my books? I clarify that the images are only to embellish the book, I sell the content of the book and not the images. In case it is possible is licensing available for images created with AI? Thank you.
Is it from Elements or marketplace?
It seems the user is referring to the Envato Labs AI image generator: https://labs.envato.com/image-gen.
You can’t use it.
Output Use Restrictions: You acknowledge that in respect of any Output, you will NOT yourself nor will you permit others to:
- sell, modify, re-use, re-sell the Output on a stand-alone basis;
- use Output in electronic or digital templates intended for resale or other distribution (for example, website templates, business card templates, electronic greeting card templates, and brochure design templates), but to avoid doubt, such Content may be used for “preview” or “demo” purposes, provided that the Content is not made available as part of the template download;
Hi, thank you for your response.
I would like to clarify one point, as I believe there might be a different interpretation of Envato’s terms of use.
According to Envato’s Terms of Service, AI-generated output can be used to create unique final products, like in my case, a book (including the cover and interior images). The important thing is that the content is not resold separately or distributed as part of a template intended for resale.
In my case, the AI-generated content is neither sold as a template nor distributed separately; it is used within a unique final work (my book), which will be sold as a whole, not the individual images. Additionally, the restrictions mainly apply to the use of content to create reusable templates (like website templates, business cards, brochures, etc.), but they do not prohibit the commercial use of content for unique final products like my book.
In this regard, I was wondering if a specific license is provided for AI-generated images on Envato that regulates the commercial use of these images, similar to how stock images are licensed. If so, could you kindly provide more details on how this license is issued?
Thanks again for your time and assistance!
Envato marketplace terms, Envato Elements terms and Envato AI terms are different from each other and the link I have shared contains the information you have asked - it forbids to resale/sell it on another project, it’s pretty clear.
