Commercial Use
Google ToS states 'your content remains yours' and you 'retain any intellectual property rights.' No explicit commercial use restriction exists for generated outputs, but also no explicit commercial license grant. The former Generative AI Additional Terms (deprecated May 22, 2024) had restrictions that no longer apply. Commercial use is likely permitted but not guaranteed — Google does not provide IP indemnification.
Free tier outputs may include watermarks and are subject to limited monthly generative credits, restricting practical commercial use.

Google Gemini Image Generation:

All generated images include invisible SynthID watermarks for AI content identification.

Google's content policies restrict generating images of real people, branded content, and certain sensitive subjects.

The Generative AI Additional Terms of Service were deprecated on May 22, 2024 — all AI usage is now governed by the main Google Terms of Service.

Google provides NO indemnification for AI-generated content. You bear full risk if outputs infringe third-party IP.

Google retains a broad license to your generated content: host, reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works, and sublicense (Google ToS, 'License' section). Purpose is limited to operating/improving services and developing new technologies.

Adobe Firefly:

Adobe's IP indemnification only applies to content generated directly through Adobe Firefly and Creative Cloud apps - not third-party integrations.

Free tier has limited monthly generative credits.
