Content Guidelines
Effective · version 2026-08-22
These are the content guidelines referred to in §11 of the Publishing Agreement. They apply to every work you upload — when you upload it and for as long as it is listed. A work that breaks them can be declined, suspended or removed.
You must hold the rights
- You must own the work, or hold a written licence that allows commercial use in a VRChat jigsaw puzzle.
- Commissioned work: the person who created it normally keeps the copyright, so you need the rights from them (or from whoever holds the rights under the commission).
- Collaborations: every contributor must agree.
You confirm this for every upload: the rights confirmation shown next to the upload control is never pre-ticked, and it is stored with the work's Submission Record (Agreement §2 and §10).
No third-party characters, logos or brands
No third-party characters, logos, brands, or fan art of protected intellectual property unless you can show us a licence. "Transformative" use and parody are not a safe harbour here — we decline such work rather than argue about it.
Photographs of people
Photographs and portraits of identifiable people need their consent (a model release) for commercial use. No photos of minors in any context other than with a parent's or guardian's consent, and nothing suggestive.
AI-generated or AI-assisted work
Allowed only if you disclose it in the licence / attribution note, the tool's terms permit commercial use, and the work does not imitate an identifiable living artist or contain third-party intellectual property. Note that purely AI-generated images may not be protectable by copyright.
Stock, Creative Commons and public-domain material
Only licences that permit commercial use and derivative works (no "NC" or "ND" terms). Put the attribution in the licence note exactly as the licence requires. The licence note is public: it is published in the catalog and shown in the world next to the puzzle.
VRChat's rules apply
Puzzles are sold through VRChat's Creator Economy, so VRChat's rules apply on top of ours: no sexual or suggestive content or nudity, no gore, no hate symbols, no harassment, and nothing that violates VRChat's Community Guidelines. Nothing illegal. No misleading titles or descriptions.
Quality and technical requirements
- 3:2 landscape, at least 900 px wide; we downscale to 2048×1365. PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 20 MB; the upload wizard can crop to 3:2 for you.
- No text at the edges — pieces are cut right up to the border.
- No low-effort duplicates or spam.
- One collection per group, and store limits apply (currently 3 priced and 25 free jigsaws per collection in the store at a time).
What happens
Every upload is reviewed before it is published. Approval is not a finding that the work infringes nobody's rights (Agreement §11) — that responsibility stays with you. We decline, suspend or remove works that break these guidelines or the law, and we tell you why. Where someone claims a work infringes their rights we may remove it immediately, and buyers may lose access to it. Repeat or serious violations end the Agreement and the account. How rights claims are handled is on the Copyright and takedown page. Questions: technocrat@seek2seek.com.
