pngtree Reviews 

I am shocked by PNGTree’s approach. They sent me multiple emails claiming copyright infringement without providing any proof—no IDs, links, or details of alleged usage. Their threats of legal action and requirement to upgrade to an “enterprise plan” felt like coercive pressure, not legitimate copyright enforcement.

I have reviewed all my products: none of the images they claim to be mine were used commercially, and they have no evidence. This seems to be a pattern of aggressive marketing and intimidation against users. Highly unethical.

The same issue as the rest. Threatening to sue you 1500 for a image used after a period of time. They can't even show you the prove that you are using the images. Very Bad and irresponsible company.

This an email I received. This company is a joke, probably run overseas.

PNGTree Overseas Compliance Team

A scam company trying to intimidate people into their enterprise plan by sending emails of alleged infringment, I have never heard nor used their products yet they keep sending me these emails.

100% Scam Company. Never pay for these threatening emails. Once they have your email, they never let go. Even after deleting my account, I am still getting promotional junk sent to me. Do not give them your primary email address unless you want it cluttered with daily ads you didn't ask for.

⭐ 1 star – Scam-like behaviour

This company operates in a very questionable way. They are threatening users with legal action unless they upgrade to an expensive Enterprise plan, which feels like intimidation rather than legitimate licensing enforcement.

They demand that you provide proof, instead of proving that you ever used their images in the first place — which is completely backwards and frankly absurd.

The whole approach feels aggressive, misleading, and unethical. If this is how they treat users, it suggests serious issues with how the business is being run.

Avoid this website entirely. Do not download or use anything from PNGTree.

Just another scam company trying to threaten and make money unscrupulously.

I have also received several threatening emails from this company, claiming copyright infringement and stating they would only drop the "lawsuit" if I subscribed to their "Enterprise Plan." For the record, these emails were all automatically flagged as spam, so I didn't even notice them until much later. Even if they use urgent subject lines like "Response required within 48 hours" or "Payment due within 24 hours," there is absolutely no need to panic.

It is natural to feel scared and overwhelmed when you open an email filled with plausible legal jargon, threats of a lawsuit, and demands that must be met within a few hours. This is exactly what this company preys on. They are truly malicious.

Back in 2020, I subscribed to a 3-month Personal Premium Plan from them. I draw as a hobby and thought it would be nice to have some resources, so I downloaded a few images. I do not work in an industry that uses these graphics, nor do I operate any personal social media or websites. There was zero possibility for those downloaded assets to be leaked or exposed externally. Furthermore, I understood that the Personal Premium Plan allowed for some level of commercial use anyway. I can guarantee that the "copyright infringement" they are claiming is non-existent.

I was flustered at first, but I began to investigate because several things felt suspicious: the emails were in the spam folder, they lacked any actual evidence while asserting my "guilt," their claims were inconsistent, and they immediately jumped to demanding payment. Fortunately, I found countless similar stories on Reddit and Trustpilot, which convinced me that this is a complete scam.

Furious, I sent a reply detailing my situation and demanded they either provide clear evidence of my supposed infringement or stop this harassment immediately. It’s incredibly frustrating that they ruined my weekend.

I am sharing this review on Trustpilot in the hope that no one else falls victim to this company. Thank you to everyone who shared their experiences here; it kept me from feeling anxious. Below is the reply I received today :

Hi,
Thank you for your letter and detailed description of your current usage. We apologize for the inconvenience. If you have ensured that the previous use of materials is in line with the scope of personal commercial use, you do not need to upgrade to the enterprise plan, please feel free to use it; we have completed the preliminary confirmation of the use of materials with you to ensure the use is standardized and avoid the risk of infringement due to non-standard use of images.

Thank you again for your support for copyright protection! If you have any other questions or needs, please feel free to contact us. We are happy to serve you!
(Initially, they claimed they had secured all evidence of unauthorized commercial usage through their investigation and had completed all legal preparations, but now they are suddenly changing their tune? This is absolutely ridiculous.)

Primero te incentiva a iniciar sesión, pues cuando vas a descargar te dice "PNG Gratis" luego, después de iniciar sesión me dice que no, que justo ese requiere licencia de no se que tipo. Busco otro, y cuando voy a descargar me dice que quite mi antivirus o mi configuración de protección.

Be Extremely Carful with this company

Scam company. Guess they are on the verge of bankruptcy because they are threatening to sue everyone if they don’t take an Enterprise plan. Illegal, but they are trying. Also they ask you for proof, instead of them proving you ever used any of the images. Crazy.

Never get anything from this website!!!

I purchased a lifetime individual license and was always satisfied with the service. A year later, they are claiming copyright infringement and use of the images for commercial purposes (which is not permitted under the individual license). They are not showing any links that prove the infringement; they simply state that the downloads made do not comply with the terms and conditions because they were for commercial use.

In the European Union, such a requirement must be authorized separately from the general terms and conditions. This is because it is an unbalanced term between the provider and the customer. The contract is therefore invalid as presented to European customers.

Despite my timely response to their email, they now claim they never received a reply and are demanding an upgrade to a commercial license. The individual license was sold at the time for $99 on a lifetime basis. The lifetime commercial license currently costs $999.

Erhalte Zuschriften von der Plattform mit Drohungen wegen angeblicher Verletzung von Urheberrechten. Habe noch nie von dieser Plattform etwas verwendet. Mir wird gedroht, ein Abo abzuschließen, ansonsten würden mir rechtliche Konsequenzen drohen.

This is a scam site that tried to steal my user info by email after I signed up.

They're sending threatening emails to people accusing them of 'copyright infringement', and the solution is to buy one of their plans, or they will pursue legal action. They absolutely will not pursue legal action against you, so don't worry, and do not be intimidated by them. Ignore their requests. DO NOT give them any of your money! It's a scam.

PNGTree is a dangerous website for creators and should be avoided, especially for commercial use.

This platform promotes many assets as “free,” but the reality is far different. The licensing system is unclear, misleading, and inconsistent.

This strongly resembles a copyright trap.

PNGTree cannot be trusted for professional or commercial projects. There are many safer alternatives with clear and honest licensing. I strongly warn other creators to stay away from this website to avoid serious problems.

They are continually harassing me for an enterprise membership, even though I have owned this business for 4 years and have never heard of them. Nor do I have the access details. They are using multiple versions of the work emails, so I can only assume this is a hoax. The last email came through with hundreds of clients' access codes.

I have replied, but they do not answer my queries.

I used their “free relaxed” downloads, which are apparently NOT free. Now they are threatening copyright infringement. I used them for personal use and do not share them. They are a SCAM.

Scam company. Sent an email telling me that I was going to face legal action for using on of their images that was downloaded with the free plan. No images were ever used on anything, ever. They are trying to use scare tactics to try and bully money out of people. Quite disgusting behavior. Stay away.
I've reported the site to BBB, as well as the FTC. I suggest others do as well.

Meine Frau hat vor einigen Tagen eine Mail bekommen,daß sie sich dort erfolgreich angemeldet hat (?).
Sie hat sich dort nie angemeldet.
Das lief bei ihrer Mail-Adresse unter Spam
