AI Transparency: How We Use AI in Image Editing

1. How We Use AI

AI Helps Turn Flat Images into Editable Assets

A finished image usually contains everything in a single flattened picture. Individual objects, characters, clothing, text, and backgrounds may no longer be independently editable.

Our AI-powered tools help identify, separate, and reconstruct visual elements so you can continue working with the image.

Depending on the tool you use, AI processing may involve:

• Image Layer Separation: Identifying visual elements and creating separate image layers.
• Character Layer Separation: Separating recognizable character features, clothing, hair, body parts, and accessories.
• Image Editing: Modifying selected parts of an existing image based on your requested changes.
• Background Reconstruction: Estimating visual content behind objects or elements that have been removed or separated.
• Text Editing: Helping locate or replace text in images while preserving surrounding visual content where possible.
• Visual Asset Preparation: Producing editable image assets for further work in compatible design or animation applications.

The capabilities, processing methods, and output formats vary by tool.

AI assists with these tasks, but it does not guarantee perfect results or replace the need for human review.

2. Understanding AI-Generated Layers

Generated Layers Are Not Necessarily the Original Source Layers

When you upload a flattened image, the original design layers may no longer exist in the uploaded file.

Our AI analyzes the visible image and creates a new representation of its components.

For example, if you upload an anime character, the tool may identify the character's hair, face, eyes, clothing, and body as separate visual regions.

However, these generated layers should not be confused with the original layers created by the artist.

What this means for you:

• Layer boundaries are determined by AI analysis.
• Some visual elements may remain grouped together.
• Small or overlapping details may not be separated accurately.
• Parts that were never visible in the original image may need to be estimated.
• Layer counts and organization can vary between images.

The output is intended to help you continue editing, not to recover a perfect copy of an unavailable original project.

3. AI Reconstruction and Inferred Details

Some Details May Be Generated Rather Than Recovered

Imagine a character whose forehead is hidden behind their hair.

If the hair is separated into a different layer, the original image may not contain enough information to show what the forehead looks like underneath.

In such cases, AI may generate a plausible replacement based on surrounding visual information.

Similar reconstruction may occur when separating clothing from a body, removing an object, or editing text placed over a complex background.

Important: Reconstructed content is an AI-generated estimate. It is not a verified recovery of the original hidden artwork.

Generated details may differ from what the original artist intended.

We recommend reviewing reconstructed areas carefully, particularly when visual accuracy is important.

4. What AI Can and Cannot Guarantee

AI Is Useful, but Results Can Vary

AI image editing can significantly reduce repetitive work, but no result should be assumed to be flawless.

Depending on the source image and selected workflow, you may encounter:

• Inaccurate Boundaries: Fine edges, hair strands, or overlapping objects may not be perfectly separated.
• Missing or Merged Elements: Small features may be omitted or combined with nearby parts.
• Reconstructed Details: Hidden areas may contain generated content that differs from the original design.
• Visual Artifacts: Texture, colors, lighting, or edges may look inconsistent after editing.
• Text Differences: Modified text may not exactly match the original font, spacing, or appearance.
• Inconsistent Results: Similar images or repeated processing may produce different outputs.

Higher-resolution images, clearly visible subjects, and simpler compositions may improve results, but they do not guarantee accuracy.

Before publishing, printing, distributing, or using AI-edited artwork in another project, inspect the result and make any necessary corrections.

5. AI-Edited Content and Disclosure

Be Clear About Meaningful AI Changes

Some outputs are primarily reorganizations of visible image content. Others may contain newly generated visual details.

When AI substantially alters or creates content, consider whether that use should be disclosed to your audience.

Disclosure may be particularly important when content is presented as documentary evidence, factual imagery, professional work, or material intended for public distribution.

We encourage users to:

• Avoid presenting materially AI-generated details as verified original content.
• Review edited images before sharing them.
• Follow applicable platform rules for AI-generated or AI-modified content.
• Provide appropriate disclosure when required by law, platform policy, or the context in which the image is used.
• Avoid using altered images to mislead others about real people, events, products, or circumstances.

Not every minor edit requires the same type of disclosure. Requirements depend on the content, intended use, platform, and applicable jurisdiction.

6. Content Provenance and Metadata

Understand the Difference Between Image Metadata and Verified Provenance

Image files may include metadata, but the presence or absence of metadata does not by itself establish whether content was created or edited using AI.

Depending on the workflow and export format, generated images may not retain metadata from the original upload.

Likewise, downloading an AI-edited image does not automatically provide a verified history of every change made to that image.

Unless a specific feature explicitly provides it, you should not assume that exported files include:

• Cryptographically verified content provenance
• A complete history of editing operations
• C2PA Content Credentials
• An embedded AI disclosure label
• A permanent, independently verifiable record of the original source image

If you need to document your creative process, consider retaining your original files, exported assets, and your own project records.

7. Ownership, Copyright, and Responsible Use

Use Images You Have the Right to Edit

You are responsible for ensuring that you have the necessary rights or permissions to upload, edit, and use your images.

AI processing does not automatically transfer copyright ownership or grant rights to third-party artwork.

Before using an output commercially, consider whether your source material includes protected artwork, trademarks, recognizable individuals, or other content subject to legal restrictions.

You should also review any applicable usage requirements described in our Terms of Service.

AI-generated output does not automatically mean copyright-free output.

Copyright protection and ownership of AI-assisted works can depend on the underlying material, the amount of human creative contribution, and the laws of the relevant jurisdiction.

We do not guarantee that any particular output is copyrightable, free of third-party rights, or suitable for every commercial purpose.

8. Human Review Matters

Your Creative Judgment Is Still Important

AI is a tool for speeding up parts of the editing process, not a substitute for careful creative decisions.

For character artwork, this may mean checking hair edges, clothing overlaps, facial details, and reconstructed body parts.

For image text editing, it may mean checking the accuracy of the replacement text, typography, and surrounding background.

For animation preparation, it may mean refining individual layers before rigging or motion work.

We recommend reviewing outputs at full resolution and making further adjustments where needed.

You decide whether a result is suitable for your intended use.

9. Privacy and Image Processing

Understand How Your Images Are Handled

Uploading an image for AI editing requires processing the file to perform your requested operation.

Image processing may involve systems and services that support the selected tool.

For details about personal information, data handling, storage, retention, and your privacy choices, please refer to our Privacy Policy.

For rules governing the use of our tools and generated outputs, please review our Terms of Service.

10. Our Commitment to Transparency

We Want You to Know What AI Is Doing

Our goal is to make image editing more accessible while setting clear expectations about AI-generated results.

We aim to explain our tools in straightforward language, distinguish generated content from original source material, and avoid promising capabilities that AI cannot reliably deliver.

As our tools develop, the processing methods, available features, and supported output formats may change.

We may update this page to reflect material changes in our products or AI-related practices.
