digital model release

Model releases feel simple — until months later you have to find what was approved for what.

Translator: What’s often called “consent/release” we treat as a shared approval (Living Consent) — one shared state that’s visible to both sides and whose changes are documented in the history. Learn more.

Problem

A Canva PDF, a signed form in Drive, or a WhatsApp “OK” is quick. Later, what’s missing is often clear occasion mapping, overview of versions, and a closure moment that fixes the state.

Solution with LegitForm

LegitForm works per occasion: approvals arrive as 🟡 received. When you finalize, the proof is created (PDF + protocol + timestamp) — only then exportable.

Occasion Consent 🟡 Received 🟢 Finalize Proof
Important: The proof is created only when you finalize — before that there’s no export.

Flow

  1. Create an occasion (e.g., campaign/shoot).
  2. Create the release and choose purposes.
  3. Send link — model confirms/signs (no account).
  4. 🟡 received for the occasion — collect first.
  5. Finalize → create and export the proof.

Comparison

PDF / template
  • The file exists, but context is often scattered.
  • Versions/signatures across folders are hard to oversee.
  • No clear closure moment.
  • Export often means manual assembling.
LegitForm
  • Occasion mapping instead of folder chaos.
  • 🟡/🟢 status makes the state immediately clear.
  • Finalizing creates the proof; then exportable.
  • Bundle export for hand-off/archive.

What is a model release?

A model release is approval to use photos/videos — for example on a website, social media, or in advertising.

Can I use a model release as a PDF?

Yes. In practice, the bottleneck is often finding and explaining the approval later — not the file itself.

When is the proof created in LegitForm?

Only when you finalize. Before that it stays 🟡 received (interim state) without export.

Does the model need an account?

No. The model opens the link in the browser and confirms/signs.

Can I try it for free?

Yes. In the Starter plan you can try for 14 days and capture up to 10 approvals. After that you can continue with Standard without limits.
