People ask “can I sell AI images?” as if there were a single global yes. There is not. What you can do depends on the license of the tool you used, the law where you sell, whether a real person or brand is recognizable, and how you label the file. This page is Nanomelon’s practical view for images made on nanomelon.top. It is not a substitute for a lawyer. Pair it with our Terms, commercial poster workflow, and policy-safe prompts.
Commercial use includes paid ads, Shopify product photos, YouTube thumbnails that drive monetized channels, client deliverables, print-on-demand listings, book covers you sell, and game assets you ship. Personal moodboards and private drafts are usually lower risk, but the moment you publish or invoice, treat the file as commercial.
On Nanomelon, a successful generation consumes credits. Paying credits buys compute and a downloadable file under our Terms—it does not magically erase trademark law, personality rights, or platform rules on the store where you upload the image.
Layer 1 — tool license. Read the current Terms for what license you receive in outputs. Do not assume every AI site grants the same rights. If a model vendor changes its commercial terms, we update on-site labels; your responsibility is to check before a campaign launch, not only at registration.
Layer 2 — subject matter. A city alley with anonymous vendors is different from a prompt that names a living celebrity, a trademarked mascot, or a competitor’s exact product silhouette. Models may still produce something that looks “close enough” for a complaint. If you need a real SKU, prefer image-to-image from your own photo and keep the label readable by compositing the real package art offline.
Layer 3 — channel rules. App stores, ad networks, marketplaces, and social platforms each have disclosure rules for synthetic media. An image that is fine on your blog may be rejected as a Meta ad creative if it implies a false endorsement. Plan labeling before you spend the last credits on variants.
Do not prompt real public figures by name for ads or merchandise. Even without a name, a distinctive face, costume, or catchphrase can trigger takedowns. For stock-style people, describe age range, clothing, and camera distance—not a celebrity. For brand ambassadors you actually hired, use their photos with a release, then edit environments with image-to-image rather than inventing a lookalike from text.
Deepfake-style political or intimate imagery of real people is banned under our community rules and under most ad policies. Credits are not refunded for “almost” if staff must remove a public gallery item; keep risky experiments private and preferably do not run them at all.
Asking the model to invent a famous logo usually fails or produces a warped mark that still invites trouble. For product marketing, shoot the real pack, then change only the scene. For fictional brands in games or novels, invent names that do not rhyme with living trademarks. Illegible background signs (“blurred shop signs, unreadable”) reduce accidental brand soup in street scenes.
Print-on-demand listings that slap a generated logo onto a shirt are a common rejection pattern. If your business is logos, treat Nanomelon as a mood reference and redraw vectors in a design tool with a proper trademark search.
Ownership language in consumer AI products is often “you may use the output” rather than “you own every copyright worldwide forever.” Some jurisdictions still debate whether purely AI-authored works get full copyright protection. Practically: keep prompts, seeds if shown, generation timestamps, and invoices. If a client asks for proof of production, My Works history plus Terms links beat a vague screenshot.
Nanomelon does not claim your private prompts as marketing assets. Public Images, once staff-approved, expose the prompt on the detail page—do not publish client briefs there. See Community Guidelines.
Useful labels are short and placed where a reader expects them: caption, alt text, product description, or end-slate. Examples: “Illustration generated with AI; typography added in design software.” or “Synthetic background; product photo is ours.” Avoid burying the only disclosure in a 2,000-word footer.
For journalism, elections, and crisis imagery, do not use Nanomelon outputs as documentary evidence. Our About page states the same limit: synthetic files are not photographs of real events.
If this site shows ads, they belong on pages with real editorial content—not empty shells. Separately, when you use Nanomelon art inside ads you buy elsewhere, follow that network’s creative policies (no misleading before/after medical claims, no guaranteed investment returns, no undeclared deepfakes). Those rules apply whether or not Nanomelon itself is monetized with AdSense.
Brief: evening jazz night, warm lamps, empty upper third for title, no celebrity singer. Generate a 3:4 plate on Nanomelon with quantity 1. Reject any face that looks like a known musician. Composite the café name and date in Canva. Caption on Instagram: “Poster art: AI background plate + our type.” Do not publish the raw prompt to Public Images until the event is over if the client cares about secrecy.
That workflow spends a handful of credits, keeps trademarks under human control, and gives you a clean story if someone asks how the image was made.
Start from a five-line brief on the homepage, keep quantity at 1, and composite claims offline.
