How Photos Work
Everything you need to know about uploading, managing, and sharing your photos.
Uploading Your Photos
Head to your profile and tap Add Photos. You can select up to 5 photos at once and upload a total of 15 photos on your profile.
Accepted formats
- JPEG / JPG (most common)
- PNG
- GIF
- WebP
- HEIC / HEIF (iPhone photos)
Limits
- Max 15 MB per photo
- Up to 5 photos per upload
- Up to 15 photos on your profile
Safety Checks
Before anything is saved, every photo is automatically checked to make sure it's safe and legitimate. You won't notice these checks — they happen instantly in the background.
If something looks wrong with the file at any point, the upload is cancelled and the file is discarded immediately. Normal photos from a phone or camera will always sail straight through.
Processing Your Photo
Once verified, your photo is prepared for the site automatically:
Large photos are scaled down to a maximum of 1600 pixels wide or tall. Your photo stays sharp — it just won't be unnecessarily large.
A blurred version is created automatically for users who haven't been granted access to your photos.
iPhone photos in HEIC format are automatically converted to JPEG so they display correctly everywhere.
Secure Storage
Your photos are stored securely:
- Saved with a random file name — not your original filename — so no one can guess or construct a URL to your photos.
- Stored in a private folder.
Moderation Review
Your photo doesn't go live straight away. A moderator reviews it first to make sure it follows community guidelines. This keeps the site safe and respectful for everyone.
Photos will be rejected if they contain:
Zero tolerance for child exploitation
Any photo that appears to contain sexual content involving a minor is immediately removed, the account is permanently banned, and the incident is reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and referred to law enforcement. This is not discretionary — it happens automatically and without exception.
Once approved, your photo becomes visible to others based on your privacy settings.
Your Photos, Your Rules
Getting approved doesn't mean the whole world sees your photo. You stay in control. Think of it like a lock on your album — you decide who gets a key. You can change these settings at any time from your profile.
Blurred by default
New photos start blurred. Everyone can see that you have photos, but the details stay private until you decide otherwise.
Set to Clear — everyone can see it
When you set a photo to Clear, every person who visits your profile can see that photo in full quality — no blurring, no restrictions. They can also save or download it to their own device, just like any image they'd find on the internet.
Only set a photo to Clear if you are comfortable with it being fully public and saved by anyone.
Access requests
Other users can ask to see your unblurred photos. You approve or deny each request individually — nobody gets access without your say-so.
Hide a photo
Need a photo off your profile temporarily? Hide it without deleting it. It stays in your account and you can bring it back anytime.
What Others Actually See
Not everyone who visits your profile sees the same thing. The site automatically shows the right version of your photo based on the permissions you've set — you never have to manage this manually.
You always see your own photos in full quality, exactly as you uploaded them.
Users you've approved see the photo as you've chosen — either fully clear or with the light download-protection blur.
Everyone else sees a heavily blurred version. They know the photo exists, but the details stay private.
Deleting a Photo
Deleted by accident? Don't panic. Removing a photo takes it off your profile immediately, but it isn't gone forever straight away. We hold onto it safely behind the scenes for 60 days — giving you a safety net if you change your mind or made a mistake.
After 60 days, the photo is permanently and completely removed from our systems.
