Picsart was founded on the belief that there’s a creator in all of us, and with the right tools and supportive community, we can all find our creative expression in a safe environment. This belief is the foundation of our Community Guidelines (these “Guidelines”), which outline how you may use our mobile applications, products, services, and software (collectively, our “Services”). These Guidelines reflect our commitment to a safe community, and are designed to keep our community inclusive and welcoming.
As part of that commitment, we prohibit certain types of activity and content on our Services, and may take any action we deem appropriate in response to content or activity that violates these Guidelines, including restricting or terminating accounts. In certain circumstances, we may also report an account to the relevant authorities or law enforcement. Determining whether there has been a violation of these Guidelines can be very nuanced, and we reserve the right to make decisions we consider appropriate for the Picsart community, at our sole discretion.
These Guidelines apply to everything you do, create, or share on our Services. You may not use our Services if you are in violation of these Guidelines, and you may not encourage or help anyone else do so. You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum legal age required to provide consent for processing of personal data in the country where you are located) to use our Services. When we become aware of underage account holders, we remove their accounts from our platform. We update these Guidelines periodically based on applicable law, community behavior, emerging issues, and user reports.
Our Services are not appropriate or intended for nudity, pornography, or accounts dedicated to sexual activity. You may not use our Services in connection with nude, sexually explicit, or pornographic content or activity (including illustrated or generated content), including:
content or activity including, depicting, or describing nudity or genitals, sexual activity or arousal, sexual fetishism, sexual exploitation, sexually suggestive language, or sexual objectification;
creating, distributing, or promoting nude, sexually explicit, or pornographic content; and
following or engaging with others to make sexual remarks or sexually harass.
In some cases we may permit partial nudity used in a non-sexualized nature. Permitted content is typically used for the purpose of raising awareness, advocacy, education, or documentary. A decision to permit any such content is made at our sole discretion.
We have zero tolerance for any content or activity that jeopardizes the safety or rights of children. You may not use our Services (including illustrated or generated content) in connection with the sexual exploitation or harm of children, including:
sexual content or activity involving minors;
content or activity that promotes, depicts, or describes child abuse or neglect or pedophilia;
engaging in grooming behavior, including building an emotional relationship with a minor for the purpose of sexual abuse, exploitation, or trafficking; and
sexualizing or inappropriately admiring children or sharing links to third-party sites involving sexual exploitation, sexualization, or abuse of minors.
We believe psychological safety and wellbeing are necessary for learning and creative expression. You may not use our Services in connection with harassing, bullying, degrading, shaming, insulting, or antagonizing others. This includes creating, posting or sharing any content or activity that:
degrades, shames, or mocks;
promotes, encourages, threatens, or incites violence or coordinated harassment;
wishes death, disease, physical harm, or any other type of harm to a person;
glorifies violent tragedies or disparages victims, or includes others’ private information without their consent, or attempts to blackmail, doxx, or “out” others; or
intentionally uses our Services’ reporting mechanisms to harass others.
If another creator blocks your Picsart account, you agree that you will not contact or interact with that creator through another Picsart account.
We value diversity and want Picsart to be an inclusive and respectful place. You may not use our Services in connection with hate speech or content or activity that demeans, defames, or promotes discrimination, bigotry, harm, exploitation, or violence based on race, color, ethnicity, ancestry, national origin or immigration status, religious affiliation, caste, veteran status, gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, illness or disability (physical or mental), socio-economic status, age, weight, or pregnancy status. This includes content or activity:
depicting logos, symbols, flags, slurs, uniforms, salutes, gestures, caricatures, illustrations, or individuals related to hateful ideologies;
condoning, glorifying, or trivializing violent events that have occurred or may occur involving any of the attributes listed above;
denying or spreading false information about well-documented factual events having taken place or portraying such events as hoaxes or conspiracies;
dehumanizing, degrading, or promoting exclusions or segregation of individuals or groups based on the attributes listed above; or
spreading or reinforcing harmful or negative stereotypes.
We may permit certain content for historical, documentary, or educational purposes. A decision to permit any such content is made at our sole discretion.
Picsart isn’t a place for excessive violence, so you may not use our Services in connection with violent or graphic content (including illustrated or generated content, and content depicting animals). This includes content or activity:
depicting or describing disturbing footage of war, car crashes, and similar content;
depicting, describing, or promoting decapitations, suicide, terrorism, murder, or executions;
depicting or describing wounds where the injury is the central focus;
depicting, describing, or promoting the torture, skinning, slaughter, mutilation, cruelty towards, or harm of animals or humans;
depicting or describing weapons with violent intent, including weapons positioned at another, weapons with blood or gore, or weapons widely associated with mass violence or dangerous events;
providing instructions on how to obtain, make, use, or sell weapons; or
glorifying, supporting, commending, or idolizing perpetrators of violence or violent events.
We may permit certain content for historical, documentary, or educational purposes. A decision to permit any such content is made at our sole discretion.
You may not use our Services in connection with or to promote gangs, terrorist organizations, cult communities, organized crime, and violent or extremist groups and we remove content and terminate accounts affiliated with these groups. This includes content or activity:
depicting or describing hand signals representing gang affiliation;
depicting or describing names, flags, slogans, monikers, logos, and other identifiers associated with such groups; or
that glorifies or praises leaders or members associated with these groups.
You may not use our Services in a way that violates applicable law, or in connection with, depicting, or promoting criminal activity. We reserve the right to report any such violations to law enforcement and to remove content and terminate accounts that engage in or promote any form of criminal activity, including:
using our platform to buy, sell, or trade illicit goods or controlled substances, including drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, pharmaceuticals, weapons, toxic substances, and counterfeit goods;
providing instructions on or otherwise promoting criminal activity, such as swatting or fraudulent money making schemes;

includes suicide or self-harm challenges, dares, or games;
depicts body changes which promote eating or exercise habits that are related to or likely to cause self-harm; or
glorifies, encourages, or promotes severe or dangerous weight loss tactics.
We believe sharing or threatening to share private information is a form of abuse. You may not use our Services to violate the privacy rights of others, or to disclose or attempt to obtain the private information of others without their consent. Private information includes:
contact information, such as an email address, physical address, telephone number, or photographs of a person’s residence;
sensitive personal information, such as a national identification number, passport number, driver’s license, or username and password information; and
financial information, such as credit card numbers or bank account information.
We want the creator experience in the Picsart community to be trustworthy and authentic. You may not use our Services, including our Generative AI Services, in connection with fraudulent activity, to mislead or deceive others, or to spread false information. This includes:
creating an account impersonating a person or organization for the purpose of misleading others;
generating, promoting, uploading, creating, sharing, editing, searching for, or posting (i) disinformation, (ii) synthetic or manipulated content like deepfakes that may confuse, mislead, or deceive others, (iii) propaganda, or (vi) any other misleading information meant to cause or incite harm, fear, panic, or disrupt civic processes;
representing that the outputs of our generative AI Services are human-generated;
posting content to divert web traffic to destinations that are unsafe, deceptive, pornographic, or commercial in nature;
artificially generating, manipulating, or facilitating false engagement, including fake reviews or activity to increase views, votes, likes, followers, shares, comments, Remixes, or Replays; and
engaging in spammy behavior, including creating inauthentic accounts and accounts en masse.
We encourage everyone to create and share their creations with the Picsart community, and to Remix, Replay, edit, and use content that other creators have shared with the community. However, you may not use our Services to violate intellectual property rights of others, including by uploading, creating, sharing, editing, searching for or posting content that violates or infringes on someone else’s copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights.
