What image types are supported?
We currently support the most common image formats: JPEG, GIF, PNG, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, TIFF.
Please note that animated images will be treated as a succession of frames, meaning that each frame will be analyzed. For more details, see how we process animated images.
If you are submitting PNG images with an alpha channel, please note that most of our models will drop the alpha channel so that any offending content is found, even if the transparency is high and makes it hard to "see".
If you need to process some other format that is not yet supported, please send us a message.
