5.1 PNG Valley Own Content Usage

PNG Valley original material (labeled “Commercial Use” on the picture) is a work created by the PNG Valley design team and contract designers uploaded to the PNG Valley platform. Users who download content from PNG Valley can use it for commercial purposes, but are not allowed to sublicense the original works.

If there is a portrait of a real person in the original work, the portrait will only be displayed as a template and the user should replace the portrait they are using. If the user can reach the portrait person and obtain permission, the user can use the picture without replacing the portrait.

5.2 How to Attribute PNG Valley Content

Free users can browse the image detailed page to understand how to credit our website and the rights holders. If you use our content on social media, you need to mark the website link “pngvalley.com” and the rights holder’s information.

Attribution is appreciated for all resources. Some specific resources may require attribution as noted on individual download pages.

5.3 Permitted Uses

6. Trademark & Logo License

The content submitted by contributors may contain trademarks and product appearances. Due to the regional nature of intellectual property rights and the massive amount of website content, PNG Valley cannot determine whether trademarks are protected by monopoly in the country where you use them. They are only displayed as visual effects.

Detailed Trademark Usage Rules:

• For personal learning use only: The legal rights and interests of trademarks and product appearances are protected by the laws of different regions. Unless otherwise specified, you can only use it for personal study, research, or appreciation.
• Commercial use restriction: The content cannot be modified, executed, published, or transferred to any other person for commercial purpose. Otherwise, you should replace the above trademark or product design (for example, Facebook trademark, held by Meta Platforms, Inc.).
• Brand guidelines: Follow the brand guidelines of respected organizations. Any use shall not be carried out in the form of unfair competition.

7. Print on Demand (POD) Usage

POD services allow you to upload products/designs and only print/make customer orders (e.g., RedBubble, Amazon Merch, Zazzle, Teespring, etc.). However, you must ensure that PNG Valley resources are NOT the main element of the design.

For example, you cannot sell t-shirts, mugs, vinyls, calendars, etc., if these have an image from PNG Valley as the main element. You must use your own designs or third-party designs to create the main composition and use PNG Valley images as backgrounds or secondary elements.
