Pixel Usage Terms

Last Updated: September 29, 2026

Thanks for checking out the pixel T.O.S page. Yeah, I know this page says Pixel Usage Terms, and that acronym is P.U.T, but nobody knows what a P.U.T page is. This is still terms of service for the pixels. Anyway, the following explain how you may use the decorative pixel graphics provided on the nonsense page of Kafluffle.com.

If you do not agree with these terms, do not use the pixels.

All pixels provided on this website remain the intellectual property of Kafluffle.com.

These pixels are licensed, not sold or released into the public domain.

Free use does NOT transfer ownership or copyright to you. Kafluffle.com retains all rights to the original artwork except for the limited permissions specifically granted by these terms.

You may not claim that you created, own, or hold the copyright to any art that you did not create yourself. (That would be lying.)

You may use the pixel graphics for personal and non-commercial purposes free of charge, provided that you follow these terms.

Examples of permitted uses include:

  • Personal websites / webpages / blogs
  • Personal online journals
  • Personal social media accounts
  • Personal profile pages
  • Forums and forum signatures
  • Personal Discord profiles or servers
  • Non-commercial fan pages or projects
  • School or educational projects that will not be sold
  • Other similar personal, non-commercial projects

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

The pixels may be displayed alongside other artwork, texts, photographs, backgrounds, layouts, or other design elements, provided that your use does not violate any other part of these terms.

Credit is required whenever you use a pixel graphic.

The credit should identify Kafluffle and whenever possible, include a link to Kafluffle.com.

Acceptable examples include:

  • Pixel(s) by Kafluffle
  • Pixel art from Kafluffle.com
  • Pixel: Kafluffle.com

You may provide credit through a dedicated credit, resource page or a similar section on your website.

For websites and similar projects, a single usage of credit may cover multiple pixels used on the same project.

For forum signatures, the pixel can be a clickable link back to Kafluffle.com.

For social media profiles, credit may be written on the profile.

Please do not hide the credit in a location that is purposely difficult for visitors to find.

Resizing

You may resize a pixel to fit your project, but please avoid enlarging them to the point that they appear as substantially different images. I recommend using a pixel art specific resizing software.

Minor Modification

You May:

  • Place the pixel on a background
  • Arrange multiple pixels together
  • Crop, cut or otherwise alter a pixel to fit in a layout
  • Recolor to fit your theme, if you state that you have recolored it in your credits

You May Not:

  • Substantially alter the pixel art
  • Redraw, trace, transform, or otherwise edit the artwork to claim as your own.
  • You can not use modification as a way to get around my terms.

These pixels are not licensed for commercial use. If you would like to use these pixels commercially, reach out to me about obtaining permission or a separate commercial license.

You may also reach out to me to inquire about commissioning me to make graphics for your own commercial project.

Commercial use includes, but is not limited to using my pixels in connection with:

  • Products offered for sale
  • Merchandise Designs
  • Paid Downloads
  • Commercial Websites
  • Business Websites
  • Company Branding
  • Logos
  • Advertising / Marketing Material
  • Paid Promotional Material
  • Monetized Products
  • Client Work (just give me the clients)
  • Products created for a customer
  • Patreon, ko-fi, twitch, discord, or similar paid rewards
  • Paid memberships
  • Commercial Publications
  • Packaging
  • Business Social Media Accounts
  • Items sold through etsy, shopify, printify, ebay, amazon or similar marketplaces

Do not assume that permission for personal use also permits commercial use.

A website that generates revenue can be considered commercial use.

Purely personal websites that do not generate revenue are permitted.

Websites with advertising, affiliate links, sponsorships, paid memberships, donations, or other forms of revenue may be considered commercial use. I understand that this can be a slippery slope with personal branding, so if you are unsure, please reach out.

If your website exists only to generate money, such as promoting a business, product, service or explicitly being for commercial activity, you have a commercial website and need to contact me before using my pixel art.

You may use my pixels on personal social media accounts for non-commercial purposes.

For Example:

  • A profile icon
  • A profile description

You may not use my artwork as part of advertising, sponsored content, commercial promotions, business branding, or other commercial activity without permission.

You are responsible for following these terms and the terms of the social media platform you use the pixels on. I have no idea if they are against the social's T.O.S.

You may use the pixel graphics on personal Discord servers, forums, blogs, virtual pet sites, profiles and other online communities as decorative elements.

You may NOT:

  • Sell access to the pixels
  • Offer the pixels as a paid award
  • Include the original pixels in a paid resource pack
  • Claim the pixels as your own artwork
  • Redistribute the pixel art in a collection or resource library

Community members can use the pixels individually under these terms, but like, please just visit my website, it's really cool I promise they'll want to come and see the original files themselves in their natural habitat.

You may use the pixels for your own permitted projects, but you cannot redistribute the original files!

This means you cannot:

  • Upload the pixels to another download website
  • Create a downloadable pixel collection
  • Include the pixels in a resource pack
  • Upload the pixels to a stock website
  • Upload the pixels to an asset marketplace
  • Give the original files away as a separate download
  • Bundle the pixels with another downloadable resource
  • Sell or trade the original pixel files

If somebody wants the pixels, please direct them to Kafluffle.com.

I will make an exception for neocities. I know people make pixel collections on there to share with others, you may do that on a neocity website ONLY if the pixels themselves are individually linked to my website, for example turning them into a button that takes you to my website when clicked.

You may not sell, license, or otherwise monetize the pixels themselves.

You may not claim authorship of the original artwork.

You may not register a pixel as your own trademark, logo, or copyrighted artwork.

The pixel graphics may not be used to train, fine-tune, test, or create anything for machine learning systems.

The pixel graphics may not be used as a source material for generating similar artwork through AI-generating systems, especially if you are trying to use it as a way to bypass my very generous rules on commercial-use, redistribution, ownership, or attribution requirements.

You cannot use my pixel graphics for:

  • AI training
  • AI art databases
  • Uploading to AI for training purposes
  • Uploading to AI for any reason INCLUDING a personal project

You may not use the pixel graphics in connection with illegal activity or in a manner that intentionally misrepresents Kafluffle.

I understand that what one person finds offensive is different from what somebody else finds offensive. I also understand that laws are sometimes stupid, so while I won't spell out all my political or moral stances, just like…don't be all rage baity with them.

Pixels may be added, changed, replaced, or removed from this website at any time.

The availability of a pixel on this website does not guarantee that it will remain here indefinitely.

Previously permitted personal uses do not automatically become prohibited simply because a graphic is later removed from the website.

For these reasons I recommend you save the pixel to your own computer if you intend to use it on your website so that the image doesn't break, as I do not always think about the consequences of certain actions.

If you use a pixel in violation of these terms, Kafluffle, may request that you remove the pixel or infringing use.

If you receive a request to remove a pixel because you violate these terms, you agree to stop the unauthorized use within a reasonable period of time.

Commercial or other uses outside of the permissions granted by these terms are not authorized merely because the pixel was freely available for download.

If you receive a request to remove a pixel because you specifically violated the commercial terms, I will be less mad at you if you bribe me, come on man they were free. I'm being nice to you. Pspspspspsps.

These terms may be updated from time to time. The date at the top of the page tells you when they were last updated, and the current version will always be on this page.

The version of these terms in effect at the time you began using the Pixel governs your usage, except when there is like a major legal issue or something.

If you are unsure whether your intended use is permitted, please ask before use!

When contacting me, Kafluffle, please describe:

  • Where you would like to use them
  • Whether the use is commercial
  • Whether the pixel will be modified
  • Whether the pixel will be distributed

Written permission may be required for uses outside of the permissions granted by these terms.
