Watermarks and Commercial Use

Two questions people ask together and tools answer separately: is there a watermark, and am I allowed to sell what comes out?

See Pricing

The short answer for Percify

Percify does not watermark your output on any plan, including the free one. There is no branding burned into images or video at any tier. Paid plans differ from free by how many credits they carry, not by what the renderer puts on the frame.

On rights, the terms are explicit rather than silent: “You own the AI-generated avatars and content created through the Service.” You also keep ownership of anything you upload — we take a licence to process and store it only in order to run the service.

The parts we will not oversell

  • Your output is not exclusive. The terms say plainly that similar or identical content may be generated for other users from similar inputs. That is true of every generative tool; the difference is whether it is written down.
  • Owning the output is not the same as clearing the input. You warrant that you have the rights to what you upload. A licensed track, a stock clip or someone else’s footage carries its own terms through the render and out the other side.
  • A face needs permission. Creating an avatar of an identifiable person without their explicit consent is prohibited, and no ownership clause overrides that.

Six checks before you pay for any tool

These apply to any vendor, us included. Vendor behaviour changes with pricing pages, so test the plan you intend to buy rather than trusting a comparison table.

Is the watermark tied to the free plan only?
The most common arrangement is a visible mark on free exports that disappears on any paid plan. That is a pricing decision, not a technical one, so it can change with a pricing page. Check the current free-tier export, not the marketing copy.
Does it move to the export step?
Some tools preview clean and stamp on download, so the mark only appears in the file you actually publish. Export one real clip on the plan you intend to buy before committing.
Is it in the template rather than the render?
Stock intros, outros, captions and lower-thirds can carry vendor branding even when the renderer adds none. That branding travels with the asset, so a clean render is not the same as a clean video.
Do the terms grant commercial use, or just silence?
A tool can be watermark-free and still not grant commercial rights. Look for an explicit ownership or licence clause covering generated output. Absence of a restriction is not a grant.
Is the output exclusive?
Almost never, and honest terms say so. Similar inputs can produce similar output for someone else. That matters for a logo or a mascot, and rarely matters for a talking-head clip.
Whose face is it?
This is the one that creates real legal exposure, and it is independent of watermarks entirely. If the likeness is not yours, you need that person’s permission — see the ethics page below.
