Acceptable use

Prohibited content

You must not create, upload or share: (1) pornography, nudity or other NSFW sexual content; (2) graphic violence, gore, torture or promotion of self-harm; (3) hate speech, threats or targeted harassment; (4) child sexual abuse material or any sexual or exploitative depiction of minors, including synthetic content; (5) deepfakes or impersonation, including face swaps, nudify edits, fabricated statements or actions of real people, and fabricated kissing, hugging or other intimate scenes involving real people, even with consent; or (6) content infringing copyright, trademarks, privacy or other rights.

What the generator checks

Before a prompt is sent to the model, the server compares it with a blocklist and patterns. The check looks for sexual or nude requests, sexual content involving minors, graphic violence or gore, self-harm, hate, and impersonation, deepfakes, or animating a real or famous person. Letters split by spaces or punctuation, and common number substitutions, are included. A match is refused. It costs no credits, and the photo is not stored. The log stores the account id, a reason category, and the time. The description and the photo are not written to that log.

The photo is not scanned. Nothing in this check detects nudity in the image, and nothing detects whether a real human face is the main subject. JPG, PNG, and WebP size limits still apply. Copyright, permission, and the other rules on this page are not detected automatically. A prompt that passes can still be refused by the model provider. Passing the check is not approval of the result.

Permission and photos of real people

Upload only your own photos or material you have permission to use, including explicit permission from the people depicted. You must not upload another person’s photo without their consent. Consent does not make prohibited deepfake features or content allowed. The AI generator is not for animating photos of real people. The free browser multi-photo GIF editor does not use that AI model.

Keep cloud storage safe

Do not save or distribute unlawful, abusive, exploitative or infringing content through the service. Do not automate uploads to evade limits, probe another user’s account, or use saved GIFs as a general file-hosting service.

AI prompts and uploads

AI GIF generation accepts only material you have the right to use. A source image uploaded for generation is deleted within 24 hours. The generated result, including the video and the GIF, is deleted within 30 days unless you delete it sooner. Results are private.

Enforcement, reports, and appeals

We may reject requests, remove content, warn users, and suspend or close accounts for violations, subject to applicable law. Report suspected abuse to support@phototogif.com with a description and relevant links or screenshots. We review reports and usually respond within 2 business days. You may appeal a decision at the same address.
