REJECTED but an episode interactive background?

I was told by multiple Episode Community Members that this background was an Episode Interactive background… When I uploaded it, it’s saying it’s copyrighted and rejected. I did edit a swan, wine, pool net, and the background city out of it but I thought editing episode backgrounds was allowed? Please someone tell me why this was rejected, it’s a big part of my story and I took a lot of time in editing it.

where the other things you added from google or free to use websites like pixabay and pexels ???because if you got them off goggle then they probably weren’t “free to use”

a hidden background doesn’t get rejected, so that background isnt a hidden background. :woman_shrugging:t3:

where did u get that background though? :thinking: @kaylaashleyjackson

Backgrounds get rejected, only if it has:

  • a watermark
  • real people in frames or posters

Yeah you’re right, I believe this background comes from Mad Head Games (they have a lot of cool backgrounds that are seen circulating with the episodeinteractive or whatever it was that had episode in it hashtag on Pinterest). Much safer to use something else :+1:
