One rule, and it has no exceptions:
Only upload a photo of yourself, or of somebody who has agreed to be in it.
Why this one matters more than the rest
Evili puts a real face into a generated scene. That is what the product is for — and it is also the one way it can hurt somebody who never used it. The person in the photo is the one who carries the consequence, and they are not the person pressing the button.
So: not a colleague, not an ex-partner, not a classmate, not somebody from a social-media profile, not a celebrity. If you are unsure whether they would say yes, the answer is no.
Consent is specific, and it can be withdrawn
Permission covers the thing you asked permission for. It does not transfer to a different template, and it does not last forever. If the person asks you to take something down, take it down.
Never with a child
Do not upload a photo of anyone under 18 as the subject of a generation, and never into a template that alters or sexualises a person. We enforce a zero-tolerance policy on child sexual abuse and exploitation, it applies to AI-generated material exactly as it does to anything else, and we report apparent material to the authorities, including NCMEC. Evili is for people aged 18 and over.
What else is not allowed
- Sexually explicit material, or anything sexualising a real person.
- Content made to harass, threaten, defame or impersonate somebody.
- A generation presented as a real recording — of anyone, and especially of a real, identifiable person or a public figure.
- Content promoting self-harm, terrorism or serious crime, inciting hatred against a protected group, or depicting extreme violence to shock.
- Somebody else's copyright or trade mark, used without the right to.
The full list is the Content Policy.
Everything you make is synthetic
No result is a photograph of something that happened. Be straightforward about that when you share it — particularly where somebody could mistake it for real, and particularly where a real person appears in it.
What we do with your photo
It is used for the generation you asked for and nothing else. The photo behind a generation is deleted with the result 30 days after it finishes. A photo you chose to save to your account stays until you delete it. See What happens to my photos for the detail.
If a description is refused
Some templates ask you to describe the scene. That description is screened before it reaches a model, and the check is cautious enough that it sometimes catches ordinary requests. If you see "That description is not something we can make. Try describing it differently.", it is not an accusation — describe it differently and try again. A refused generation does not spend your coins.
If the screen says "We could not check that description just now. Try again in a moment.", nothing is wrong with what you wrote: wait a moment and press Generate again.
