The transformation tools — Undress, Face Swap, the Editor — are powerful because they work on real photos. That power has exactly one legitimate source: the consent of the person in the picture. This checklist is the studio standard. If a photo fails any point, it does not get uploaded.
The five points
1. The person is an adult. Not “probably”, not “looks mature” — an adult you can vouch for. If you cannot vouch, stop.
2. They know the specific transformation. Consent to “edit my photo” is not consent to undress it. The person agreed to this tool on this photo, or to a clearly described class of edits.
3. You can produce the agreement. A message thread, an email, a signed release — something that survives a dispute. Memory is not documentation.
4. The use matches the agreement. Consent to make an image is not consent to publish it, sell it or share it. Each step out needs its own yes.
5. They can withdraw. If the person later says stop, the honest answer is deletion, not debate. Build your projects so withdrawal is possible.
What never counts
- A photo being public — a posted selfie is not a licence.
- A relationship — partners, spouses and exes get the same checklist as strangers.
- Silence — not objecting when shown a result is not prior consent.
- Someone else’s say-so — a photographer, a friend, a group chat admin cannot consent for the person depicted.
The safe default
When in doubt, generate instead. The Generator creates fictional adults who need no one’s permission, and a well-kept character card (see our brief guide) gives you the same series consistency with none of the risk. Professional creators are not the ones who skip the checklist — they are the ones whose models trust them with a camera again.
