Who owns what when you make a figure, and what you may do with it.
Last updated: 4 August 2026
This explains who owns what when you make a figure with our tools, and what you may do with it. It sits alongside our Terms of Service.
The short version
The figure is yours. Use it personally or commercially, print it, sell prints of it. You do not owe us a royalty and you do not need to credit us, though we would like it if you did.
What you cannot do is upload artwork you have no right to, or resell the model file itself as a stock asset.
Your artwork stays yours
Uploading changes nothing about who owns your artwork. You grant us a licence to use it solely to run the service — storing it, passing it to the processors that generate the model, and showing it back to you.
You must have the right to upload it. That means it is your own work, or you have permission, or it is genuinely free of restrictions. Fan art of someone else's character is still someone else's character, and a photograph of a person needs that person's agreement.
You are responsible for what you upload. If a rights holder comes to us about your content we will act on it, which may mean removing the figure.
The model is yours
Once generated, you own the output model as far as we are able to grant it, including the mesh, textures and exported files. Specifically you may:
- Print it, at home or through a service
- Sell physical prints of it
- Use it in a game, film, video or other project, commercially
- Modify it however you like
We keep a copy so you can come back to your work, and so we can print it if you ask. We do not claim ownership of it.
What you may not do
- Upload artwork you do not have the rights to
- Resell or redistribute the model file as a stock or template asset — sell prints and finished work, not the file as a product in itself
- Use the tools to produce content that breaks the Acceptable Use Policy
- Imply we endorse what you have made
We do not train on your work
Your uploads and generated models are never used to train AI models — not ours, and not our suppliers'. Our suppliers are contractually barred from using your content for their own purposes.
Honesty about what AI output is
Models are produced by automated systems. Two things follow, and both are worth knowing before you rely on one commercially:
Output may not be unique. Similar inputs can produce similar results, and someone else could generate something comparable. We cannot promise your figure is one of a kind.
Copyright in purely AI-generated material is unsettled. In the UK, computer-generated works have a statutory provision, but its application to modern AI output is untested. In the US, the Copyright Office has said material lacking human authorship is not registrable. Your own creative input — your artwork, your choices, your edits — is what carries protection. If commercial exclusivity matters to your project, take your own advice.
We grant you everything we have. We cannot grant what the law has not settled.
Sharing
A share link makes the figure visible to anyone who has it, and lets them do whatever the mode you chose allows. You choose that, you can change it, and turning a link off takes effect immediately.
If you offer a figure for sale through a share link, you are asking us to print and post it to whoever buys it. Only do that with figures you have the rights to.
If something goes wrong
If you think content on our service infringes your rights, email hello@madebymonolith.com with enough detail to identify it. We will look into it promptly.
