Terms of use
These terms apply when you use Photostar, the free photo editor at photostar.io. We've kept them short and in plain language. By using Photostar you agree to them. If you don't, please don't use it.
Photostar is run by KamranAli Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (company number 13008281), with its registered office at 12 Constance Street, London, England, E16 2DQ. In these terms, "we" and "us" mean KamranAli Limited.
Free to use
Photostar is free, and you don't need to sign up. There may be optional paid features in the future. If that happens, they'll come with their own terms, and we'll give you a heads-up before anything you depend on changes.
Your work is yours
Everything you create with Photostar belongs to you, or to whoever owns the material you started from. Your images stay on your device, so we never receive them, and we claim no rights to them. How we handle the little data we do see is explained in our privacy policy.
The editor itself
Your images are yours, and the editor is ours. Photostar's code, design and interface belong to KamranAli Limited. You're welcome to use the editor as much as you like, including for paid work, but please don't copy, resell or redistribute its code, or use it to build a copy of Photostar.
A few parts of Photostar are open-source software made by others. Those parts keep their own licences, which are listed in the editor under Help, then Credits.
Using Photostar responsibly
Please don't use Photostar to break the law or to harm other people. In particular, you agree not to use it to:
- create or share sexual content involving anyone under 18
- make sexual or intimate images of a real person without their consent
- impersonate someone, or make fake images meant to deceive or defraud people
- infringe someone else's copyright, trademark or privacy
- attack, overload or try to break the website or its services
Templates, elements and fonts
You can use our templates, design elements and sample photos in your personal or commercial projects, including work you make for clients. What you can't do is resell or give them away on their own, for example as a template pack or a stock photo collection.
The fonts that come with Photostar are open licensed, and you're free to use them in your designs. Their licences are listed in the editor under Help, then Credits.
AI tools
AI selection, background removal and upscaling can get things wrong. Check the results before you rely on them for anything important.
Keep your own copies
Autosaves and recent files live in your browser's storage, which you or the browser can clear. If your work matters, save a project file somewhere safe. We can't get lost work back for you, because we never have a copy.
Photostar opens and saves PSD files, but it doesn't recreate every Photoshop feature exactly. Some effects, masks and text may look slightly different or turn into pixels. Keep your original files. The PSD guide explains what to check.
Embedding the editor
You may embed the editor in your own website through its embedding interface. If you do, you're responsible for how your website handles your visitors' information.
Names and trademarks
Photostar and the Photostar logo are ours. Photoshop is a trademark of Adobe. Photostar is an independent product and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Adobe. Other product names belong to their respective owners.
No guarantees
We do our best to keep Photostar running smoothly, but we can't promise it will always be available or free of errors. As far as the law allows, Photostar is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind.
Limits on liability
As far as the law allows, we aren't responsible for indirect or consequential losses, or for any loss of work, data, profits or business that comes from using Photostar. Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that the law doesn't allow us to exclude or limit, and if you're a consumer, your legal rights aren't affected.
Changes
Photostar and these terms may change over time. When we make significant changes to the terms, we'll update the date at the top of this page. We may also change or discontinue Photostar or any of its features, and we may block access for anyone who abuses it.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the law of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales can hear any dispute about them. If you're a consumer living somewhere else, you keep the protections your own country's law gives you, and you can bring a claim in your local courts where that law allows it.
