Terms of Use

What you make here is yours

Every gradient, wave, blob, pattern, texture, shadow, icon, banner, mockup and code snippet you generate with MeshSVG is yours to use for anything, including commercial work. No attribution is required. No licence fee is owed. You may use it in client projects, in products you sell, in templates and themes you sell, and in work for an employer.

You do not need our permission and there is no separate commercial licence to buy, because there is nothing here to licence. What the generators produce is CSS declarations, SVG path data and raster images derived from parameters you chose. We make no claim of ownership over that output, and we would not have a credible one if we tried.

The one thing you may not do is present MeshSVG itself as your own — copying the site, the tools or the written guides wholesale and republishing them as a competing service. Use the output freely; do not take the thing that produces it.

The tools are provided as they are

MeshSVG is offered free and without warranty of any kind. The 20 generators are deterministic and unit-tested, and the exports are checked against the previews, but we cannot promise the site is free of defects or that it will suit a particular purpose. Browsers differ, and a rendering engine can change how CSS behaves without warning.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss arising from your use of the site or its output — including a design that printed differently than it looked, an icon a store rejected, or a colour that failed a contrast audit. Check exported work before you ship it, exactly as you would check anything else that goes into a project. Nothing here limits rights you hold under the South African Consumer Protection Act or the consumer law of your own country.

Guidance is guidance, not professional advice

The guides make practical claims — which favicon sizes browsers actually use, what a WCAG contrast ratio means, how large a QR code must be to scan reliably in print. We research those and correct them when they are wrong, but they are written to help you make a decision, not to serve as a compliance sign-off. Where an accessibility or regulatory obligation applies to your work, verify against the standard itself.

Acceptable use

Use the site as a person would. Do not attempt to break it, overwhelm it, or scrape it wholesale — the generators run in your browser, so scraping the pages gains you nothing the source code does not already give you freely. Do not use the output to produce material that is unlawful, or to imitate a brand or a person in a way intended to deceive.

The favicon, PWA icon, OG image, banner and mockup tools accept files you supply. You are responsible for having the right to use anything you drop in. Since those files never leave your browser, we could not review them even if we wanted to.

Your data, and what we do not have

There are no accounts. Your designs are held in your own browser's local storage and never sent to us, so there is nothing of yours on our servers to lose, sell or hand over. Dropped images are processed locally and discarded when the tab closes. The full detail is in the privacy policy, which is the document that governs personal information.

The practical consequence cuts both ways and is worth repeating here: clearing your browser data deletes your work permanently, and we cannot restore it, because we never held a copy.

Advertising

The site carries a single advertising slot, reserved at a fixed size so it cannot push the page around as it loads. It is labelled. We do not run automatically-inserted ads, interstitials or pop-ups, and we never accept payment to place a tool, a preset or a gallery design. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed on this page before it happens.

Changes, and getting in touch

Tools are added and occasionally retired, and these terms may be updated as the site changes. Material changes will move the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use MeshSVG after a change means you accept the revised terms.

These terms are governed by the law of South Africa. Questions about any of it — particularly commercial use, if your legal team needs something more formal — go through the contact page, and a person will answer.
