You have that, and lots of other customer images that were used like mini-advertisements, that caused Amazon to stop the capability, at least, separated from a review. You can still upload customer images, but it's restricted to being done with a concomitant review. Hope that helps. Hitch . We produce eBooks

@PRQNA2bee897df2, Photos/Illustrations from Pixabay and Shutterstock certainly can be used for books published via KDP.

Take for example images from Pixabay. Technically those images are allowed, but as we’ve seen with threads about blocked books, it depends on what the publisher does with those images. KDP doesn’t want books filled with images that all resemble each other. So without seeing your images, KDP almost certainly can’t give an answer.

Based on the Amazon KDP rules you provided, your work would likely fall into the category of "AI-assisted" rather than "AI-generated."

It seems KDP didn't answer my question. Regarding your comments, I understand & appreciate the point that both of you made, about avoiding CF images. Others have agreed that the safest option is to draw your own pictures, yet, they claim that drastically altering CF images is the next best thing if you don't draw & can't hire anyone to create ...

Regarding c) my buyers that use Creative Fabrica are warned that they must create unique designs for Amazon KDP using my clipart, so use my images, but arrange them uniquely. In case they purchase from CF they will have CF licence.

Jun 6, 2021 · Ditto. Over and over and over and over and over. Pretty much every time we see a complaint here about KDP/Amazon doing this or not allowing that it's something that was revoked or changed to stop abuse. And btw, on the sales page interface--that's not KDP. That's Amazon and yes, they really are separate entities, in terms of which controls what ...
