Why this matters to you

Your face is in the training set. You should be on the payroll.

Every AI model trained today learns from human faces — without consent, without payment, without you ever knowing. Brands, broadcasters, and AI labs now need licensed, verified humans for every piece of AI-generated content they make.

Twinnin is the registry where that licensing happens. Register your face once. Set your terms. Get paid every time it's used.

75%
of every licence fee. Always. Agent or no agent.

Meet the founder

Built by someone who's been there.

Twinnin was founded by Katrien Grobler — 20 years across Unilever, Vodafone, and global brand leadership — alongside a team of engineers, designers, and creative-industry veterans.

We built Twinnin because human likeness is becoming the most valuable, least consented data category in AI — and nobody was protecting the people whose faces were already being used.

"The laws of the day are not keeping up with the tech, so we stepped in — and decided to step up."

You always get 75%. Always.

Buyers request licences through Twinnin. You approve each one. You take 75% of every fee — whether you have an agent or not.

With an agent, Twinnin drops to a 10% platform fee and your agent takes 15% — both from our cut, not yours. We integrate with Spotlight directly. Your 75% never changes.

Example figures are illustrative. Real licence fees depend on use, duration, exclusivity, and territory. Strategic deals — broadcaster archives, feature presenter roles, AI lab training agreements — can be substantially larger.

Live community call · 2,500+ verified twins and growing
Real people, real registry

2,500 humans verified. Just the beginning.

Working actors, presenters, content creators, models, and ordinary people who realised their face was already in AI training data — and decided to charge for it.

Every twin is identity-verified. Every licence is approved by the person. Every commercial use generates payment. That's the registry.

Photo guidelines

Good photos get work. Bad photos don't.

You submit 19 photos. We turn them into your verified twin. The quality of what you send shapes the work you get — so we put this together to help.

Photos that work

Ring light. Plain background. Neutral expression. Centred. Full body in frame. Plain unbranded clothing. Back camera, eye level.

House rules

We treat every twin like talent on set. No exceptions.

These restrictions apply to every licence on Twinnin — regardless of who's buying, what they're paying, or what they're making. You can layer your own exclusions on top.

When you revoke a licence, downstream use is suppressed on a defined SLA, fully logged. When you say stop, we stop.

Questions, answered

The things you're actually wondering.

01

Is it really free?

Yes. Sign up is free. Identity verification is free. You always take 75% of every licence fee. Twinnin earns 25% on direct deals or 10% if you're agent-managed (your agent takes the other 15% from our cut, not yours). No monthly fees, no hidden costs, no contract you can't walk away from.
02

Can I leave whenever I want?

Yes. Revocation is built in from day one. You can withdraw consent any time. New licences stop immediately. Existing licences are suppressed on a defined SLA, with the full lifecycle logged. We are honest about model weights — those are harder, and the buyer's contract with us defines what happens.
03

Will my face be used without my permission?

No. No commercial use happens without your specific, granular consent. Every licence is a contract you approve before money changes hands. Your identity documents and biometric data never leave our encrypted off-chain storage.
04

How much will I actually earn?

It depends on the licence. Standard campaign work typically runs £1,500–£12,000 per project. Featured talent and lead presenter roles can run substantially higher. Long-form productions, broadcaster archives, and exclusivity premiums push fees further still.
05

How do I actually get paid?

Bank transfer or Stripe Connect, depending on your region. We target first payout within 30 days of your twin being licensed. You see every transaction, every fee, every payout in your dashboard.
06

I have an agent. Does that change my pay?

No — you still get 75%. What changes is how the other 25% is split: Twinnin takes 10% (down from 25%) and your agent takes 15%. Both from our side of the deal, not yours. We integrate with Spotlight directly, and your agent can manage your twin alongside your other bookings.
07

What about minors?

Under-18s can only join through a parent or legal guardian, with enhanced safeguards on every stage. Stricter consent, mandatory cooling-off periods, restricted use categories, and elevated review on every booking.
08

What if I just don't want to accept any work?

That's fine. You're never under any obligation. You can be on the registry and simply reject every licence request. The choice is always yours.
