Terms of use
Last changed: November 2026
What this is
SnipStudio is a service that makes short videos from your ideas and, if you connect it, publishes them to your YouTube channel. It is in early access: features change, and accounts are opened by hand.
Your account
You must be 18 or older. Keep your password to yourself; you are responsible for what is done with your account. We may limit how many videos an account can make in a day, and we may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms.
What you may not make
- Videos that show a real person without their agreement. A character from a photo may only be you, or an adult who has agreed.
- Sexual content, and anything that sexualises or endangers minors.
- Content that harasses, threatens or incites hatred or violence against people.
- Content meant to deceive people about real events or real persons, or to impersonate someone.
- Content that uses other people's characters, brands, music or footage without the right to do so.
- Anything that is illegal where you live or where it is published.
What you make is yours
The videos, stories and characters you make are yours to use, including commercially. You are responsible for what you publish, for following the rules of the platform you publish on, and for telling viewers that a video was made with AI where that platform asks for it.
YouTube
The studio uses YouTube API Services to upload and manage videos on a channel you connect. By connecting a channel you also agree to the YouTube Terms of Service. You can take the permission back at any time under Account in the studio, or at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
No promises about results
Videos are made by AI models and can contain mistakes: check them before they go public. We do not promise views, subscribers or income. The service is provided as it is, without warranties, and may be unavailable at times. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect losses or lost profits.
Changes
If these terms change in a way that matters, we tell you in the studio before the change applies.

Privacy notice
Last changed: November 2026
What we keep
- Your account: name, email address and a scrambled form of your password that cannot be turned back into the password. If you ask for access, also the note you wrote.
- What you make: ideas, stories, pictures, voice recordings, videos, characters and any photo you upload for a character.
- A record of sign-ins and of actions by the admin, to keep accounts safe.
- Your YouTube connection, if you make one: a permission from Google, kept on our server.
Where the work is done
Pictures, video, voices and lip-sync are made on our own hardware and do not leave it. The text of your stories is written with the help of language models reached through OpenRouter, so your ideas and story text are sent to those providers for that purpose. Photos you upload are not sent to them.
YouTube
The studio uses YouTube API Services. With your permission it uploads videos to your channel, sets their title, description and tags, adds them to playlists, posts a first comment and reads view and like counts of the videos it uploaded. It also searches public YouTube videos to see what ranks for a subject. Google's own privacy policy is at policies.google.com/privacy. Disconnecting the channel under Account in the studio deletes the permission from our server. You can also withdraw it at myaccount.google.com/permissions.
Who can see your things
Other accounts cannot. The admin of the service can open an account to help when something goes wrong; every such visit is written to a log.
Cookies
One cookie keeps you signed in. There are no advertising or tracking cookies and no analytics from other companies.
Deleting
You can delete your videos and characters yourself. To have your account and everything in it deleted, ask us.
