Can You Use Celebrity Photos for Hotel Lobby AI?
No, you cannot use celebrity photos on Hotel Lobby AI. Every upload passes automated moderation, and any real person in your photos must be an adult whose image you have permission to use. Celebrity images, nonconsensual impersonation, and misleading endorsements are rejected.
What photos are not allowed?
The following uploads are rejected by moderation:
- Celebrity or public-figure photos — actors, musicians, athletes, influencers, politicians
- Photos of other people without their permission — including ex-partners, coworkers, or strangers
- Photos of anyone under 18
- Pornographic, nude, or sexual content of any kind
- Misleading endorsements — using someone's likeness to imply they endorse a product or view
The full, binding policy is on the Content Rules page.
Why are celebrity photos blocked?
AI-generated videos of real people raise serious legal and ethical issues: right of publicity, defamation, and nonconsensual impersonation. A realistic video of a celebrity "performing" can spread as if it were real. Blocking these uploads protects the people depicted, protects you from liability, and keeps the platform usable for everyone.
What photos can you use?
- Your own photos
- Photos of friends, partners, or family members — adults who have agreed to appear in the video
- Your pets — cats, dogs, and other animals are fully allowed and extremely popular; see the pet video guide
- Fictional characters you have rights to
When in doubt, ask the person in the photo. If you wouldn't show them the finished video, don't upload the photo.
What happens if a photo is rejected?
Moderation rejections count as failed generations: your reserved credits are returned automatically and in full. You can swap in a permitted photo and resubmit at no cost — details in Generation Failed? Credits and Refunds Explained.
