👋🤩📢 Hello Product Hunt!
I’m Nathan, one of the creators of No more copyright, along with @jamie_cushenan and @hicham_zaidi.
First, thank you! Launching a product is always an amazing experience, but having the chance to kick off the launch on Product Hunt along with its amazing community makes it even more amazing. So what is No more copyright…
🛠️ Problem – How do you describe a picture to a robot?
As makers, creators, and ideators, we often need a starting point to spark ideas. Whether you’re working on a prototype, building an app, or even creating a presentation deck, visuals are vital to telling your story. But where do you start?
GenAI tools are powerful, but if you’re like us, you don’t always start with words—you start with a visual, a concept, or a muse piece to build from. That’s where No more copyright was born…
🚀 Solution – A picture’s worth a 1,000-word prompt
No more copyright flips how GenAI generates images today. Instead of starting with a text prompt, you start with an existing image—doodles, storyboards, personal photos, screenshots, or whatever inspires you.
Our tool takes that image and transforms it into a legally distinct and clear variation, empowering you to explore creative directions while respecting the original work. These new versions act as inspiration and references for your unique projects.
🔧 How does it works?
No more copyright uses GenAI to transform any image into a unique, copyright-free version in seconds. It’s fast, simple, and perfect for creative exploration. Here’s how:
1️⃣ Upload an image: Upload any image—art, photos, or visuals you want to reimagine.
2️⃣ Let our GenAI work its magic: In seconds, our system generates a fresh, distinct version, perfect for creative inspiration.
3️⃣ Get an image breakdown: Along with the new image, you’ll receive a breakdown of its content and prompt descriptions. This helps you better understand how to describe your image and unlock further creative storytelling possibilities.
4️⃣ Use it worry-free: Continue to explore, design, and create confidently with your new image.
✨ Who is it for?
Whether you’re looking for the perfect visual or just want an “image fidget spinner” to see what comes back, No more copyright gives you the freedom to explore, design, and create—effortlessly and worry-free. Anyone looking for inspiration or telling stories through visuals such as:
• Designers needing a spark for their next project
• Creators searching for unique visuals
• Entrepreneurs trying to tell their vision in visuals, not words
• And anyone curious about reimagining images in new ways
🎁 Launch deal
To celebrate our Product Hunt launch, we’re offering 100% free usage for early users for a limited time!
• Create as many images as you want
• Save your previous results for easy access
• Get detailed prompts and descriptions for each image
👉 Thank you for checking us out! We’re excited to hear how you use No more copyright to tell your stories and unlock your creativity 🚀

@jamie_cushenan @hicham_zaidi @nathantross This is such a unique approach! I'm curious, how do you ensure the generated images are truly distinct while still capturing the essence of the original? Would love to learn more about the underlying tech!
Maker
@jamie_cushenan @hicham_zaidi @tonyabracadabra Thanks for the comment Tony! I'll let @jamie_cushenan go into more detail (CTO of the project along with @hicham_zaidi giving amazing ENG power), but the main focus is on using the original asset as a roadmap for defining a better and reusable prompt. Which allows us to build further long-term with larger variations with our modeling.
@jamie_cushenan @hicham_zaidi @nathantross Congrats on the launch! 🎉 It’s awesome to see such an innovative way to approach image generation, especially with the focus on making it easier for creators to use visuals as a starting point. Looking forward to seeing how this evolves! Keep up the amazing work! 🙌
Maker
@jamie_cushenan @hicham_zaidi @helen9 Thanks Helen! Appreciate the feedback and we'll aim to expand functionality post-MVP to allow for more use cases. If you have any fun with it, let us know. We'd love to see more examples to inspire us :)
@hicham_zaidi @nathantross @tonyabracadabra That's a fun question to answer for a programmer :)
To keep the essence of the origional we use image analysis tools to write a highly detailed description of the image, this description is then simplified and has any brand/trademark references removed from the text using a custom ChatGPT model. We take this simplified brand/trademark clean description and turn it into a Flux prompt (again using the custom ChatGPT model)
We ensure the images are truly distinctive by randomising a number of factors each time such as the seed Flux uses and the image analysis tool gives a slightly different description each time on purpose
Hey Nathan, I tried this tool and love it.
I uploaded there one scene from the Simpsons and need to say that output is quite okay. Example: :DD
Maker
@busmark_w_nika this is fantastic! If you want to have even more fun, try uploading multiple image scenes, like a storyboard. Results are super fun: 
Congrats on the launch, @nathantross @jamie_cushenan @hicham_zaidi.
Interesting tool.
Just curious - in terms of legality, isn't this a grey area?
For example, does the AI ensure the output is distinct enough to avoid any potential copyright concerns?
Maker
@ashitvora extremely appreciate the love! In relation to your question when you think of GenAI at all today it all is in that grey area space. This is definitely an evolving topic. I'd like to think our tool allows a jumping off point for more creativity and exploration. Which allows for bigger conversations about copyright abuse by copyright owners and non owners.
Maker
@ashitvora follow-up question. What use cases do you have in mind for usage? Would love to use those for testing scenarios.
@nathantross @hicham_zaidi @ashitvora It's fundamentally important to have the right to transform art, we simply automate it
The AI is able to pick up on brand related visuals, if you can see a brand reference so can the AI, these brand references are removed from the anaylsed description of the image, so "harry potter" would become "a wizard" for example. If the text doesn't have any brand/trademarks then the prompt for the image generator AI wont have them either
Top Hunter
Should copyright be abolished? Or all intellectual property rights and protections?
If someone created a clone of "No More Copyright" and charged a bunch of money for a service that doesn't work, would that be okay?
Is this the same idea as generic drugs, but applied to IP? Or luxury brand knock-offs?
Just curious where this approach to IP will lead — and whether it will ultimately kill or promote creativity long term.
Maker
@chrismessina hey Chris, long time! One question at a time ;) My opinion, we need to have open conversations on copyright law being used 99.9% of the time to actually limit creativity versus expand it. I’m original from the art space, studied art for my degree actually. So turning this back on you, what do you think about copyright law today. Does it work properly? Or does it hurt artists primarily since it is outdated. For example. You hunted Sora, you know that wouldn’t pass copyright muster like most GenAI models today.
And feel free to check out and create some images on nomorecopyright.com to get inspiration, 3,000+ generations yesterday.
Maker
@chrismessina btw I think you are confusing and mixing patent law with copyright law. Both need updates though. I'd recommend looking at the history of the insulin patent for the reason we need generic drugs. Creator sold the patent for $1 so everyone could have free access but with abuse of patents up until a few months ago it could cost an individual $1k+ per month in US leaving people to skip so they could eat. Trying to understand the point here a bit. Are you anti-generic / accessible drugs?
Maker
@chrismessina “If someone created a clone of "No More Copyright" and charged a bunch of money for a service that doesn't work, would that be okay?””
This product that generates prompts from existing content will 100% be copied. Absolutely.
Top Hunter
@nathantross good to run into each other again. :)
Hopefully you remember that I like to serve as an internet provocateur (i.e. a well-intended trollish sort?) in poking at this.
I would agree that IP law generally (though there's much that's been settled) is being upended by generative AI.
"Fair use" didn't contemplate work being reduced to a set of vectors and those vectors and embeddings being remixed at scale across the entire internet.
I'm not familiar enough w/ the economic intention of these laws in terms of degree, only that the concern of a government-granted monopoly over an ephemeral thing like "an idea" or "an expression" was meant to prevent copies of the original work from eroding the value of the original work. It was meant to encourage people to publish and share their ideas sooner, rather than hoarding them for fear of the ideas "being stolen".
But abundance mathematics does require a rethinking of these rules and laws, but there's a real hard problem around equitable redistribution...
Should we move towards a UBI-style approach to support all creators, or should we rely on market dynamics which currently favor those who either can afford lawsuits (e.g. The New York Times) or those with existing massive followings (e.g. someone like Elon Musk who constantly appropriates memes and jokes from accounts with fewer followers on X)?
Doubtful we'll resolve it soon, and your site only pushes the question further forward.
Top Hunter
@nathantross I'm not getting them confused; I'm asking general questions about IP protections. Patents protect novel and non-obvious inventions and technological innovations, whereas copyright protects original artistic, literary, and intellectual works of authorship.
They serve different functions in the market because one is about applying techniques of production to industrial products whereas the other tends to center on expression, presentation, and information.
Heheh totally open to discussion mate but I feel that's the path. Probably some photographers will hate this but you'll always get haters so keep going. All the best here
No way...this is an insane tool, I love it - Makes tonnes of sense & in the examples provided it even looks as if they images are better afterwards?
Are you worried about any potential issues with companies realising their images have been appropriated?
Best of luck with the launch!!
Maker
@cranqnow love the notes thank you! Our thoughts - if we do a good enough job even if they do we should be able to pass legal muster through the transformative use.
Maker
🙌❤️👏🙏🤩👊🔥💯🙌 Thanks everyone for making this a successful launch for @jamie_cushenan, @hicham_zaidi, and myself! Yesterday 3,000 images were generated on our system and we could not be more proud. Every comment and piece of feedback shows the immense support we have here. And we can’t wait to make No more copyright even better for you in the future!
Congrats on the launch :) I had a play with it and I'm not sure why I would use this over midjourney. I could see it being useful for someone who wants a really simple interface but the model needs more training. I found the images to be weighted more towards cartoon/cgi vs photorealistic. The model didn't grasp the aesthetic style of the original. This could be useful for a person/business who already has some of their own photos and wants to multiple them like gremlins. For example, a coffee shop could upload their own images of people enjoying their coffee then create more of the same for social media.
Ok, experimented some more. The 1st remix is very good. The others are ok at a glance but there are some details like the hands which breakdown.
Love the concept and ease of use of the tool. Some feedback:
1. Quality of generated images is low
2. Would be nice to be able to add an instruction to transform the original image
Maker
@nachodeh amazing feedback! We focused on lower sizes for speed but maybe that's a variable we can add. Similar to quality of jpeg export. Also for instructions. Do you mean you can directly edit the prompt or add a new prompt on top? Any extra detail here will go on our sprint board ha
@nathantross thanks! Yes, I'd like to provide an image as a starting point, but add instructions for editing the image. Eg. let's say the original image is a blue car on the highway, and I'd like to be red
Maker
@nachodeh thinking of UI. Would you like 1. defined prompts 2. Open text field that you can write into 3. Both. Other question would you prefer multiple images at once or prefer one image with higher quality
@nathantross Definitely open text field where I can give custom instructions. Re image, just 1 with HD quality. I could see myself using this for ads and other commercial purposes, but with the current definition, the assets are unusable
Maker
@nachodeh great note! And creating hi resolution advertising seems like a viable route. Make sure you've set up your profile with your email and we will make sure to let you know when these features are live.
I enjoy simple tools that deliver. This one does! And on top of that, it's free.
Cheers @nathantross!
Maker
@juans I couldn't of put it better myself :) Ha I did try with “image fidget spinner” of course.
🧐 Good find
It looks promising but somehow I'm not able to generate a new one for an image I've uploaded 🫣
Maker
@adsuhari hey! Extremely appreciate the note. Our system got so much traffic it actually broke for a bit :) please try again!
Being a designer, it’s often hard to find good images for my projects. This tool will help by recreating or creating images similar to brand pictures, thanks!
Maker
@himanshuraikwar primary goal great to hear! I use it for unblocking me. Sometimes I have a single image in my head. This lets me build off it.
Absolutely simple tool! It's very very useful for such the scenario as re-designed or re-creative requirement of pictures, and maybe can provide an unexpectedly different way of thinking...
Really great idea bro, and congrats for the launch. I tried it and it gives really good output. 😍
Maker
@saaswarrior really glad to hear that! If you have any enhancement request just let me know
This tool could revolutionize my design process by eliminating copyright concerns. How do you envision using it in your projects?
Maker
@william_jin I use it as a jumping off point for brainstorming. But another way is replacing presentation images with it. What's really cool you can take live photos and use them to transform into more elegant versions. Here's an example of a photo I took with my watch transformed...
This tool is a lifesaver for content creators! 🎨
As someone who's always paranoid about image copyright (and tired of scrolling through stock photos), this is exactly what I needed. Tried it with a few reference images and the results are surprisingly good - keeps the essence while making it unique.
Just used it for my blog posts, and it's like having a personal artist who never asks for credit 😅
Pro tip: Works great for social media visuals too! 🚀
Maker
@ethanyu thanks for the support and testing! I actually want artists to get love for their work and helping with copyright issues can help make that easier. Please share examples would love to see!
I uploaded a character picture and generated a cartoon image of children holding hands. I’m very curious about how to generate high-definition pictures with stories. Can you talk about the underlying technology? @nathantross
Maker
@alexxiang I'll let @jamie_cushenan comment as well but this is definitely a feature advancement we will aim to implement near future. To choose styles. For now you can continue to regenerate for variations. Mind sharing your image url? I'd be glad to generate a few options on top.
@jamie_cushenan @nathantross Generating high quality images is great! Just curious how to achieve no copyright
Maker
@alexxiang oh yes. So our system aims to be transformative and independent from the original without being derivative. Our prompt system relies on multiple sources beyond the original as well. Based on the output the result should fit those guidelines but you absolutely can regenerate variations.
@nathantross @alexxiang I gave a breakdown to this question in another comment, I'm happy to go into specifics :)
The AI is able to pick up on brand related visuals, if you can see a brand reference so can the AI, these brand references are removed from the anaylsed description of the image, so "harry potter" would become "a wizard" for example. If the text doesn't have any brand/trademarks then the prompt for the image generator AI wont have them either
