Can I use the API for a commercial application?

Last updated: June 12, 2026

Yes.

All images generated through the BFL API include full commercial usage rights. You can use them in products, services, marketing, and any other commercial context.

What's included

Commercial rights for all images generated via the API

Same rights apply to Playground-generated images

No additional licensing fees: commercial use is included in the per-image cost

Open-weights models

If you are running models locally (not through our API), licensing depends on the model:
