The short version

  • Yes: personal and commercial use in the images you make, including client photos, photo booth prints, albums, cards and social posts, at as many events as you like.
  • No: reselling, sharing or giving away the backdrop files themselves, alone or in a pack, or using them to build a competing backdrop library.
  • Non-exclusive: other people can use the same scenes. The scenes are AI-generated originals, reviewed by a person.
  • Free files follow the same rules, and the corner watermark stays on.

What this licence covers

This licence covers every backdrop file you download from Digital-Backdrops.com, free or high resolution, in landscape, square or portrait. It is given by BrandPacks Limited (Hong Kong), the company behind TemplatesBooth, which runs Digital-Backdrops.com. It forms part of our terms of use.

"You" means the person or business that downloaded the file. If you download for your business, your employees and contractors can use the files for that business's work under the same rules.

What you can do

  • Use the backdrops in your own images, for personal projects, family photos, cards and invitations.
  • Use them in paid work for clients: portraits, family and maternity sessions, event photography, photo booth prints, strips, GIFs and online galleries.
  • Sell products made with them, such as prints, albums, canvases, cards and digital image files of the finished photos.
  • Use the same backdrop again and again, at as many sessions and events as you like. There is no limit on the number of images or prints.
  • Edit the backdrop as part of your image: crop, recolour, blur, add text, a date or a client's logo.
  • Let your clients use and share the finished images they receive from you, including on social media.
  • Show options to clients using finished sample images, our free watermarked previews, or links to our backdrop pages. You do not need to credit us.

What you cannot do

  • Resell, share, give away or redistribute the backdrop files, original or edited, on their own or in a bundle, template pack, preset pack, booth software library, stock site or file-sharing service.
  • Let other people download the empty backdrop from your website, app or booth, or hand the files to a client or another operator to reuse.
  • Build a competing library or service of backdrops, backgrounds or templates from our files.
  • Use the files to train or improve an AI model, or add them to a dataset.
  • Claim you made the backdrops, claim exclusive ownership, or register them as your own copyright or as part of a trademark or logo.
  • Remove, crop out or cover the watermark on free files.
  • Use them in unlawful, hateful or deceptive content, for example to pass a composite off as a real place in an advert or a listing.

Finished images and backdrop files

The simple test: is a person or your own design part of the image? A finished photo, print or booth strip with your subject in front of the scene is yours to deliver and sell. The empty scene on its own, as a file someone else could use as a backdrop, is not. If you are unsure about a use, ask us first through the contact form.

Free watermarked files

Free files are 1280px JPGs with a small Digital-Backdrops.com mark in the bottom-right corner. Everything in this licence applies to them, including commercial use in finished images. The mark must stay visible. For a clean image, use the high-resolution file instead.

Lifetime access and your rights

Lifetime access (see pricing) gives your account high-resolution downloads for as long as the service runs. If your access ever ends, for example after a refund, you stop downloading new high-resolution files. Images you have already finished and delivered stay licensed. After a refund, please do not start new work with high-resolution files you downloaded under that purchase.

AI-generated, non-exclusive scenes

Every scene is an original made with an AI image model and reviewed by a person before it is published. Scenes are not photographs of real places. They are licensed to you on a non-exclusive basis: other customers can use the same scenes, and we may keep offering them.

The law on copyright in AI-generated images is still developing and differs between countries. We own or control the rights we can in the scenes, and we license those to you. We do not promise more than that, and nothing here gives you ownership of a scene.

Trademarks, places and people

Our scenes are made without people, text, logos or brand names, and each one is checked for them. We cannot promise that no scene resembles a real building, product or design, and we do not give trademark or property clearance. You are responsible for how you use your finished images, including model releases for the people you photograph and any logos you add.

Partners and the API

Booth software and template sites that integrate the library through our partner API do so under a separate agreement with us. An API key does not give anyone the right to redistribute the files. When you use the library through a partner, the same rules on this page apply to you.
