License: CC BY 4.0

Every wallpaper in the daily archive is licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0). You can:

• use them for anything, commercial or not: as a wallpaper, in videos, apps, games, websites, slides, prints and products;
• copy, share, edit, crop, recolor, remix and redistribute them.

The one condition: when you share or publish one (or something made from it), give credit, link to the license, and say if you changed it. For example:

Wallpaper by wallpaper.gripe (CC BY 4.0), with links to https://wallpaper.gripe and the license.

Setting one as the wallpaper on your own phone or computer needs no visible credit: attribution applies when you share or redistribute it.

Each wallpaper's page states the license, and so does the metadata embedded in its PNG and JPEG files.

The images are generated by code (procedural patterns and fractals, no AI image models and no photos of people or trademarks), so there are no model releases or third-party rights to worry about. The license doesn't grant trademark rights in the name "gripe".

Images you make yourself in the generator are yours: they're drawn on your own device and never uploaded.

Hotlinking the archive's images is fine too (they're cached at the edge); the image addresses never change.
