Switch marking on, and AI photos leave us already labelled
The EU AI Act's Article 50 transparency rules have applied since 2 August 2026. In short: if a photo looks real but was generated or significantly altered by AI, the buyer should be told. On one photo that is trivial. Across a catalogue of several hundred, a question comes up: who remembers which ones came out of AI?
The automation remembers.
It made them.
AIThe badge sits in the corner of the photo, at a size and position you set once. What counts as AI content follows from the kind of operation. Judging whether a given listing needs a disclosure is still your call.
The mark stays in the file
You switch marking on once in your space settings. From then on we burn the badge into the photo on download and when sending to channels that have no field of their own for this – so it stays in the file wherever it goes: into Shopify or onto any other channel. Where a channel does expose a field for an AI declaration, we fill it in on the integrations that support it.
What we don't mark
We don't treat background removal or upscaling as content creation, so those photos are never marked. We mark what AI actually drew: generated photos, UGC, ghost mannequin. That's our rule, not a reading of the law – if you're replacing a background with a generated one, treat it as generation.
