Copyright Notice
Last updated: May 2026
This Copyright Notice describes the intellectual-property framework for iloveimg.online. Headline: Site editorial content is protected; conversion libraries are licensed and credited per their license terms; AI training on Site content is prohibited; uploaded image content is yours and we don't claim rights over it.
1. Site editorial content
The following is the original editorial work of iloveimg.online and is © 2024-2026 iloveimg.online, all rights reserved:
- Trust pages (this 22-page set).
- Format-catalog descriptions, FAQ entries, accuracy notes.
- Wrapper code on top of conversion libraries (the Laravel application that orchestrates uploads, library calls, downloads, deletion).
- Site design, theming, layout structure.
- Brand identity ("iloveimg.online" name and visual presentation).
- Selection and arrangement of supported formats and conversion pairs (compilation copyright).
2. Uploaded image content — yours, not ours
Worth saying clearly: image files you upload remain yours. We do not claim rights over the content of uploaded images. We do not license uploaded images for our own use. We process the file for conversion, return the converted output, and delete both within an hour.
This is a deliberate choice: many "free service" sites have terms that grant the platform a perpetual license to use uploaded content. We don't do that.
3. Conversion libraries — licensed, not owned
The conversion engine uses third-party open-source libraries:
- ImageMagick (Apache 2.0) — imagemagick.org
- libvips (LGPL) — libvips.org
- libheif (LGPL with GPL components) — for HEIC/HEIF
- libavif (BSD-2-Clause) — for AVIF
- libraw (LGPL or CDDL) — for camera RAW
- Ghostscript (AGPL or commercial) — for EPS / PDF rasterisation
- librsvg (LGPL) — for SVG rasterisation
License terms governing these libraries are between us and the library authors / projects. We use them under license; we are not the developers. License compliance (notice retention, source-availability where required) is observed.
4. Format specifications
The image formats themselves are specifications maintained by various standards bodies and companies:
- JPEG / JFIF — ISO/IEC.
- PNG — ISO/IEC; W3C Recommendation.
- WebP — Google.
- AVIF — Alliance for Open Media.
- HEIC / HEIF — ISO/IEC; MPEG.
- TIFF — Adobe.
- SVG — W3C.
- EPS — Adobe.
- PSD — Adobe.
Supporting a format does not imply partnership with the format owner. iloveimg.online is independent of Adobe, Apple, Google, ISO, W3C, AOM, MPEG, and other bodies.
5. Permitted use of Site content
- Personal use — using the converter for your own work; sharing the URL.
- Brief fair-use quotation with attribution and source link.
- Educational use in classrooms, tutorials, training material with attribution.
- Linking to iloveimg.online pages from other sites without prior permission.
6. Prohibited use of Site content
- Substantial reproduction of trust-page or format-catalog content without permission.
- Systematic scraping or republication of editorial content.
- Removal of copyright notices, attributions, or license notices.
- Re-hosting the conversion service as a derivative without compliance with applicable library licenses.
- Use for AI / ML / LLM training — per Section 7 below.
- Use of "iloveimg.online" branding for purposes that imply iloveimg.online affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement, without permission.
7. AI training opt-out — expressly asserted
Use of any content on iloveimg.online for the training, fine-tuning, evaluation, or other development of artificial-intelligence systems, machine-learning models, or large language models is expressly prohibited.
Legal basis
- EU Directive 2019/790, Article 4(3) — the text-and-data-mining exception is conditioned on the rightsholder not having reserved rights in an appropriate machine-readable manner. This Site reserves those rights. Italian transposition: D.Lgs. 177/2021.
- U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 106.
- Italian copyright law L. 633/1941 as amended.
- UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988.
- Equivalent rights in other jurisdictions.
Scope of the prohibition
The opt-out covers:
- Crawling the Site for the purpose of producing AI / ML / LLM training corpora.
- Including Site content in training datasets, whether stored locally or in cloud / shared resources.
- Using Site content to fine-tune existing models or evaluate model performance.
- Using Site content as part of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines that effectively redistribute Site content to model users.
- Bulk extraction, even where individual pieces of extracted content might be considered fair use, where the extraction's purpose is AI training.
Technical implementation
The Site's robots.txt blocks known AI crawlers. The list includes (non-exhaustive):
GPTBot,ChatGPT-User(OpenAI)ClaudeBot,anthropic-ai(Anthropic)CCBot(Common Crawl)Google-Extended(Google AI training)Bytespider(ByteDance)FacebookBot/meta-externalagent(Meta)Amazonbot,PerplexityBot,Diffbot,Applebot-Extended
The list is updated as new AI crawlers are identified.
Important nuance: search vs. training
- The opt-out is for training use.
- Standard search-engine indexing (Googlebot for Search, Bingbot, etc.) is permitted.
- The distinction matters because some operators (like Google) operate separate crawlers for search (Googlebot) vs. AI training (Google-Extended).
