Understanding User Photo Context

User photos represent the most common type of content on social platforms. Billions of selfies, personal photos, and snapshots are shared daily across Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Facebook, and countless other platforms. Each upload requires fast, accurate moderation to protect users from inappropriate content while allowing legitimate personal expression.

The challenge is context. A swimsuit photo at the beach is appropriate; the same level of exposure in a different context might not be. Artistic photography differs from explicit content. Medical conditions may require showing body parts. Generic moderation that flags all skin as inappropriate creates frustrating false positives; moderation that misses truly inappropriate content puts users at risk.

Our user photo moderation understands these nuances, providing granular classification that lets you make informed decisions.

Granular NSFW Detection

Distinguish between explicit nudity, suggestive content, swimwear, and appropriate skin exposure with detailed confidence scores.

Face Detection

Verify photos contain faces, detect multiple faces, and identify potential issues like obscured or cropped faces.

Violence Detection

Identify graphic violence, weapons in threatening contexts, and disturbing imagery in user uploads.

Self-Harm Detection

Identify imagery suggesting self-harm or eating disorders, enabling supportive intervention workflows.

Deepfake Detection

Identify AI-generated faces, face swaps, and manipulated photos that could be used for deception or harassment.

Quality Assessment

Evaluate photo quality including resolution, lighting, blur detection, and technical issues.

def moderate_user_photo(image_url, api_key):
    response = requests.post(
        "https://api.imagemoderationapi.com/v1/moderate",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {api_key}"},
        json={
            "image_url": image_url,
            "models": ["nsfw", "violence", "face", "deepfake"],
            "return_scores": True
        }
    )
    result = response.json()

    # Granular NSFW classification
    nsfw = result["nsfw"]
    if nsfw["explicit"] > 0.9:
        return {"action": "block"}
    elif nsfw["suggestive"] > 0.8:
        return {"action": "review"}

    return {"action": "allow"}
