## Rules for an agent

- Official API is free and keyless: put a URL-encoded JSON config (files, script, environment) after # in the photopea.com URL or iframe src and talk to it via the documented live-messaging API; no npm/PyPI package or open-source repo (the GitHub repo is for issues only); a self-hosted copy costs $500-$2000/month; files stay on the user's device.
- The free iframe embed keeps Photopea ads and branding; hiding them needs a paid Distributor account
- Images you make are yours to sell, but fonts or stock assets inside them keep their own licenses
