Privacy guides and workflows
Published Pixlery guides and step-by-step workflows for this topic.
How to redact an image before sharing
Choose the visual treatment based on what the hidden detail means: blur and pixelation hide appearance, while solid redaction replaces sensitive pixels.
GuideHow to blur a face in a photo for privacy
Use local automatic face detection to suggest editable Blur regions, then review the full frame for missed faces, reflections, and other identifying clues.
GuideAutomatic face blur online: blur or pixelate faces in photos
Pixlery can suggest face regions locally after you click Auto-detect faces. The regions remain editable, so you can review a group photo, switch between Blur and Pixelate, or add manual coverage before exporting.
GuideWhat is EXIF metadata in photos?
EXIF is hidden data embedded in many camera and phone exports—camera model, capture time, and sometimes GPS. It travels with the file until you remove it.
GuidePassport and ID photo sizes explained
Countries and agencies use different pixel, millimeter, and inch requirements. Pixlery covers common sizes at 300 DPI—never assume one export fits every application.
GuideWhat is HEIC and when should you convert it?
HEIC keeps phone photos small, but many upload forms still expect JPG or PNG. Convert only when the destination cannot accept the original file.
WorkflowPrepare multiple social media images from one source
Choose the placements first, refine each crop separately, then export one ZIP and inspect every platform's final upload preview.
WorkflowWatermark images for brand protection
Watermarks deter casual reuse of portfolio, product, and social assets. Batch text or logo marks, then remove metadata from copies you publish.
WorkflowMake a passport photo at home
You do not need a studio booth for a usable starting point. This workflow keeps capture, editing, and export steps explicit so you can compare against your agency’s checklist.
WorkflowConvert iPhone HEIC photos for upload
When a website rejects an iPhone photo, convert it to JPG first, then compress or resize only if the destination has a file-size limit.
WorkflowMake a photo strip for Instagram Stories
Turn a few event, travel, or friend photos into one vertical strip that is easy to share in Stories without uploading the originals.
WorkflowMake a photo booth strip at home
You need a browser, decent light, and about ten minutes. Online Photo Booth handles countdown capture, template framing, and export— including a print sheet when you want physical copies.
WorkflowHow to batch process images for the web
Use one local workflow to resize a group of website images, choose a practical format, check real file sizes, and export predictable names before uploading.
