Model Release Agreement Form

A model release agreement template — get a signed release to use a model or performer’s image, covering the usage, territory and duration.

Description

A model release is what lets a production actually use the images it shoots. This model release agreement form secures a signed release from a model or performer, setting out how their image may be used, where and for how long.

It captures the model or performer’s name and the production, how the images will be used, the usage territory and duration, and whether they grant permission to edit and reproduce the images. It takes the shoot date, a grant of rights and a signature.

Use it before or at any shoot involving a model or performer. A signed release with clear usage terms protects the production’s right to use the images. Customize the usage terms to fit your project, add your branding, and embed it on your site or share a link in minutes.

Template FAQs

Common questions about the Model Release Agreement Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a model release agreement?

A model release agreement is a signed document granting a production the right to use a model or performer’s image, on agreed terms. It sets out how, where and for how long the images may be used, protecting the production’s right to use what it shot.

What should a model release include?

This form captures the model or performer’s name and the production, how the images will be used, the usage territory and duration, whether they grant permission to edit and reproduce, the shoot date, a grant of rights and a signature.

When should you get a model release signed?

Before or at the shoot, before the images are used anywhere. A release secured up front is what makes later use safe — chasing a signature after a shoot, when the images are needed, leaves the production exposed if the model can’t be reached.

Who signs a model release agreement?

The model or performer whose image is being captured. The form takes their signature and the agreed usage terms, so the production has clear, documented rights to use the images for the purposes both sides agreed.

Why specify usage territory and duration in a release?

Because a release for one campaign in one country isn’t a license to use the images forever, everywhere. Setting out the territory and duration defines exactly what’s permitted, protecting the model’s rights and giving the production certainty about how it can use the shots.

Is this model release template free to use?

Yes, completely free. Adjust the usage terms to match your project, and restyle it to your brand, then embed it on your site or share a link — no coding needed. A free Fun Forms account lets you collect signed releases.
