Image usage and rights

These conditions apply to files hosted by CryingCatMeme.net. They do not cover images on linked websites.

Download and remix permission

To the extent we control the relevant rights, we permit you to download, caption, crop, resize and share the files hosted here. Attribution to CryingCatMeme.net is appreciated. This permission does not promise exclusive copyright, non-infringement or clearance of third-party rights.

AI-generated material

The cat scenes are AI-generated. The availability and scope of copyright protection depend on the applicable law and human creative contributions. Generation-service terms and third-party rights can also affect use. For commercial projects, assess those rights and requirements for your intended use rather than treating this page as blanket commercial clearance.

Classic photographs and names

Classic meme images remain at their external sources. Linking to a photograph or template does not grant permission to reproduce it. Names of formats and services are used descriptively; no endorsement or affiliation is implied.

Keep source information accurate

Do not present an AI-generated scene as a documentary photograph, claim exclusive rights that you do not hold, remove others’ watermarks or rights notices, or use the material unlawfully. Keep available attribution and provenance information when sharing source files.

Rights concerns and corrections

If you believe a file or statement infringes your rights, identify the page or file URL, the work or right concerned, your basis for the claim, and a way to reply. Include only information needed to assess the concern; do not send identity documents or other sensitive information unless necessary.
