Frequently Asked Questions

No. Browsing, viewing project pages, and downloading are open to everyone. An account is only required if you want to upload your own creations, comment, rate projects, or follow creators.

Yes, you must be at least 13 years old to create a Zennou account.

Registration currently uses email and password. Sign-in with Google or Discord is planned but not yet connected.

Yes. Account deletion is self-serve directly from your dashboard — there's no manual approval process or need to contact support.

Mods, fan games, patches, tools, and any passion project worth sharing and versioning properly. "Creations" is used deliberately instead of "mods" so the platform isn't limited to one type of work.

File size limits are still being finalized as upload infrastructure is built out. This section will be updated once limits are confirmed.

Yes. Every project supports Version Releases — you can publish new versions with changelogs, similar to Git tags, while keeping older versions accessible.

Yes — video previews are added via a YouTube link rather than direct file upload. This keeps things fast for you and gives your video its own view count and audience on YouTube.

Yes. Each project can be set to draft, unlisted, or public, and you choose the distribution license yourself.

Yes. You retain ownership of your original work. Uploading to Zennou doesn't transfer any rights to us.

You should avoid redistributing original copyrighted assets — art, models, audio, source code — that you don't own or have rights to. Clearly separate your own original contributions from third-party IP, and respect any modding policy the original rights holder has published.

We follow a standard notice-and-takedown process. If your content is removed following a valid notice, you'll be notified and given the option to file a counter-notice. Full details are in the DMCA Policy.

Hosting large files isn't free — storage and bandwidth cost real money as the platform grows. The download page may show advertising to help cover those costs, so the platform can stay free for creators and downloaders alike.

No. Downloading doesn't require an account.

In general, yes — previous releases remain accessible through the Versions tab on a project page, unless the creator has removed them.

Every project page has a "Report this project" link. For copyright-specific issues, use the DMCA process instead — it's handled separately from general reports.

Accounts with multiple valid, unrebutted takedown notices against them may be disabled or terminated, in line with our Repeat Infringer Policy.

Yes. Creating an account, uploading creations, and browsing the platform is free. If paid features are introduced later, they'll be optional and clearly separate from the core experience.

There's no revenue-sharing program at this time. Instead, creators are recognized through platform features — like Verified status once a project crosses certain download milestones — rather than direct payouts.
