Terms of use

Last updated: 5 October 2026

The service

Homotope turns images into SVG. Vectorizing in the browser, the preview and SVG and PNG exports are open to everyone, free and need no account. An account (sign-in with Google) adds a gallery to save your vectorizations, production exports (DXF, EPS, PDF, separations) and server processing for very large images; beyond what is included each month, these are paid (see “Paid plans” and the Pricing page). Homotope’s code is published under the MIT licence.

Use

You may use Homotope for personal or professional purposes. The SVGs you produce belong to you, as do the images you put in: it is up to you to make sure you have the right to use them.

Prohibited content

Do not save unlawful content: anything that infringes other people’s rights (copyright, image rights), hateful, violent or child sexual abuse content, or any content prohibited by French law.

Storage and quotas

Each account has limited storage depending on its plan: 500 MB with the free account, 10 GB with the Pro subscription. If you change plans, nothing is deleted: above the limit, your gallery becomes read-only. We do our best to keep what you save, but no guarantee of retention is given: keep a copy of anything that matters (“My account” → “Export my data”). The service may be interrupted, changed or discontinued.

Paid plans

Vectorizing in the browser, the preview, SVG and PNG exports and the swatch library remain free, with no account and no limit. Two things are counted, and two features are reserved for the Pro plan:

• Production exports (DXF, EPS, PDF, separations as a ZIP, the simplified “ready to cut” version, single stroke on export): an account is required. The free account includes 2 per calendar month; beyond that, each export uses 1 credit. With the Pro plan, they are unlimited. The conversion happens in your browser: the server only records the format and date of each export.
• Server processing: the free account includes 2 trial server jobs per calendar month (images up to 20 Mpx).
• Transparent background and recolouring: previewing them is free, but downloading a result that uses them (SVG and PNG included) requires the Pro plan or the 7-day trial; neither free exports nor credits unlock them. The same result without these changes can still be downloaded under the rules above.

Production export trial: when you create your account, production exports are unlimited for 7 days, with no bank card, once per Google identity (deleting and recreating your account does not renew it). The trial only covers these exports, the transparent background and recolouring: your account stays on the Free plan (server processing, storage, API). When the trial ends, exports go back to the Free plan’s rule: no automatic charge, and no subscription is ever taken out without your request.

Beyond that, two offers, described on the Pricing page:

• Credit pack: 10 credits, one-off payment. Credits do not expire; 1 credit = 1 server job, whatever the size of the image up to the server’s limit, or 1 production export.
• Pro subscription: unlimited production exports, 100 server jobs per calendar month and 10 GB of storage. The subscription is monthly or annual, as chosen at purchase, and renews automatically at the end of each period (every month or every year). You can cancel it at any time from “My account” → “Manage subscription”: cancellation takes effect at the end of the period already paid (month or year), with no pro-rata refund; until then, the Pro plan stays active. To change billing period (from monthly to annual or the other way round), cancel the current subscription, then subscribe to the new one when it ends. Unused jobs do not roll over to the next month, including on the annual subscription (100 jobs per calendar month).

Prices: prices include VAT and are shown in the app at the time of purchase; that price is the one that applies. A job uses the month’s trial first, then the month’s Pro quota, then your credits. A production export uses the month’s included exports first, then your credits; it is unlimited with the Pro plan.

Payment: payment is handled by Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd.), which receives your payment details under its privacy policy. Homotope never sees or stores your card number. Invoices are available from “Manage subscription”.

Right of withdrawal: at the time of purchase, the following notice is shown under the payment button:

By purchasing, you request immediate access to server processing and production exports and expressly waive your 14-day right of withdrawal for the processing and exports provided (Article L221-28 of the French Consumer Code).

In practice: server jobs and production exports are digital content supplied as soon as you buy, without waiting for the 14-day period to end. By confirming the payment, you accept this immediate performance; the right of withdrawal therefore does not apply to the jobs and exports provided.

Interrupted or failed jobs: a job that is interrupted or fails, or is cancelled before it starts, is given back to you automatically (the credit or trial used is returned; a job from the Pro quota is not counted). A completed job, or one cancelled while it runs, is counted, as is a free trial job stopped because it exceeds its time limit (2 minutes) or the server’s memory. Beyond 3 technical failures (time or memory) refunded within 24 hours, a paid job that fails the same way is counted; your account page says so. Free trial jobs are counted per Google account: deleting and recreating your account does not renew them within the month.

Production exports: a production export is counted (included export of the month or credit) when it is produced; a production export once used is not refunded, unlike a failed server job. No other refund is made in the app: for any claim, write to [email protected].

Chargebacks: if a pack payment is disputed with your bank (dispute, “chargeback”), that pack’s credits are removed from your account, up to the remaining balance; jobs already run are not cancelled.

Gifted rights: the publisher may give you credits or a Pro period (goodwill gesture, testing, partnership). A gifted right is free, with nothing expected in return, and can be revoked at any time: the gifted Pro period ends and gifted credits are removed, up to the remaining balance. Your purchases are never affected.

Deleting your account: deleting your account immediately cancels the current subscription, with no pro-rata refund, and any remaining credits are lost.

Governing law: these terms are governed by French law. If there is a dispute, write to us first; failing an agreement, you may refer the matter free of charge to a consumer mediator or bring it before the competent courts. This English text is a translation: the French version prevails.

API and MCP

With an account, you can create API keys (“My account” → “API keys”) to start server jobs from a script, a plugin or an AI agent, through the API or the MCP server (see the API documentation).

• Personal, secret key: do not share or publish it. The account holder is responsible for any use of their keys.
• Revocation: a key can be revoked at any time from “My account”, for good; its jobs still in the queue are then cancelled and refunded.
• Limits: 60 requests per minute per key, 30 jobs per hour per key, 1 job running and 3 in the queue per key.
• No free trial through the API: each job uses the month’s Pro quota, then your credits.
• Abuse: any abuse, such as getting around the limits or an image_url aimed at third parties, leads to the account being suspended.
• The API and the MCP server are provided like the rest of the service: as is, with no guarantee of availability.

Referrals

Every account has a referral link (“My account” → “Invite friends, earn credits”). The current amounts are shown on that page before you share anything; they may change, and a reward already paid stays yours.

• Sign-up: when someone creates their Homotope account from your link, you and they both receive credits (server job or production export). The referrer is set when the account is created, once and for all: an existing account cannot be linked afterwards. A given email address only qualifies for this bonus once, even if its account is deleted and recreated, and no bonus is paid once your cap is reached.
• Upgrading to Pro: on the first confirmed payment of your referral’s Pro subscription (at least half the Pro price), you earn extra credits, once per referral. They are paid 14 days after that payment, provided it has been neither refunded nor disputed.
• Cap: credits earned through referrals are capped per calendar month (UTC); beyond that, the reward is reduced or zero.
• Refunds: if your referral’s payment is refunded within 14 days, the matching “Pro” credits are removed from your account, up to your balance (credits already used are not taken back).
• Abuse: no self-referrals and no accounts created just for the purpose. Any abuse leads to the removal of the credits concerned and the suspension of the account.
• Referral credits are credits (server job or production export) like any others: they cannot be converted into money and are lost with the account.

Teams

A Pro subscriber (the “payer”) can add seats to their subscription and invite people to them (the “members”). Seats are managed from “My account” → “My team”.

• Who pays: the payer alone. Each seat is billed with their monthly Pro subscription, every month, at the price incl. VAT shown in the app at the time of purchase (seats cannot be added to the annual subscription). The member pays nothing and gives no payment details.
• What the member gets: the Pro plan’s features on their own account, as long as they hold a seat and the payer’s subscription is active. Their monthly jobs and storage are their own: nothing is shared or pooled with the payer or the other members. An account belongs to one team only.
• Invitations: each invitation is personal (the person’s Google email address), single-use and valid for 7 days; it holds a seat while it is pending. Homotope sends no email: the payer passes on the link themselves. To join the team, the person signs in with the invited address.
• What the payer sees: each member’s name, email address, joining date and number of server jobs this month. Never their files, images or vectorizations.
• End of a seat: when the payer removes the member or seats, when the member leaves the team, or when the payer’s subscription ends, the member goes back to the Free plan and keeps all their data (above the free storage, their gallery becomes read-only and nothing is erased). If there are fewer seats than members, the most recent arrivals wait for a seat until one becomes free.
• Deleting the payer’s account: the team is dissolved and all its members go back to the Free plan, with their data.
• Billing for seats: an added seat is billed pro rata for the current period and paid immediately; a reduction gives a credit on the next invoice, not a refund.

Suspension

An account that does not comply with these terms, or that puts the service at risk (abuse, mass uploads), may be suspended or deleted.

Liability

Homotope is provided as is, without warranty. Check the SVGs produced before any important use (printing, cutting, engraving).

Your data

What we keep and your rights (export, deletion) are described on the Privacy page.
