Profile pictures appear everywhere on your platform – in comments, messages, search results, and recommendations. One inappropriate avatar can damage your platform's reputation. Our AI moderates profile photos at upload, ensuring every user is represented appropriately.
Try Free DemoProfile pictures are unique because they appear everywhere on your platform. Unlike a single post that might be seen briefly, a profile picture is displayed every time a user comments, sends a message, appears in search results, or interacts with others. This pervasive visibility means one inappropriate profile photo can affect countless interactions.
Profile picture moderation also has specific requirements beyond general photo moderation. Many platforms require a single, clear face. Professional networks need business-appropriate imagery. Gaming platforms may allow avatars but need to screen them for offensive content. The expectations vary by platform type.
Our profile picture moderation API provides specialized checks designed specifically for profile images, including single-face verification, appropriateness screening, and platform-specific standards.
Verify profile photos contain exactly one clear face, meeting standard profile picture requirements for identification.
Screen for explicit content, nudity, and suggestive imagery inappropriate for profile photos.
Identify hate symbols, extremist imagery, and offensive content that shouldn't represent users.
Identify AI-generated faces and deepfakes that may be used for fake accounts and impersonation.
Verify image quality, resolution, and technical requirements for profile display.
Detect text overlays, promotional content, and logos that may violate profile photo policies.
Screen profile photos on social networks where they appear in feeds, comments, and messaging.
Ensure professional appropriateness on LinkedIn-style platforms with business standards.
Verify real photos and appropriate content on dating platforms where photos drive connections.
Screen custom avatars and profile images on gaming platforms for offensive content.
Verify seller profile photos on e-commerce and marketplace platforms.
Screen photos for internal employee directories and corporate systems.
