Acceptable Use Policy

This policy is part of the Terms of Service of Effect Booth. It applies to every photo you upload, every edit you ask for and every result you share.

Who may use the site

• You must be 18 or older.
• You may upload a photo only if you have the right to use it: you took it, the people in it agreed, or you have permission from whoever owns it.
• Photos of children may only be uploaded by their parent or legal guardian, for ordinary family edits such as seasonal or holiday pictures.

Not allowed

• Sexual content of any kind: nudity, undressing or "removing clothes", see-through or revealing edits, turning clothes into underwear or swimwear, sexualised poses or anything erotic.
• Anything sexual or suggestive involving a minor, or making an adult look like a minor in such a context. We report child sexual abuse material to the authorities.
• Impersonation and deepfakes: making anyone look like a real, named or famous person, swapping faces, or creating images meant to mislead people about who someone is or what they did.
• Photos of other people without the right to use them, including photos taken from social media of people who have not agreed.
• Harassment: images meant to bully, humiliate, threaten or embarrass a real person.
• Violence and hate: gore, injuries, weapons aimed at people, hateful symbols or content that attacks people for who they are.
• Infringing other people's rights: using the service to infringe copyrights, trademarks or other rights, presenting results as official or endorsed by a rights holder, or putting other people's trademark logos into results.
• Illegal use of any kind, and attempts to get around our checks (rewording, spacing out letters or hiding instructions in a request).

How we enforce it

• Written edit requests are checked before anything is charged. A request that breaks these rules is refused with a general message and uses no credits.
• The image model may also decline an edit. Then nothing is made and the credits are returned.
• Our checks cannot catch everything. Breaking this policy can lead to removal of content, suspension or closure of your account, and reports to the authorities where the law requires it.

Report a problem

If you see an image made with this site that breaks these rules, or a photo of you used without your permission, tell us: see Contact.
