Dealer Listing Number Plate Blur
Treat "dealer listing number plate blur" as a publish checklist: mask, blur, verify, then export.
Operational sequence
- Document reflective-surface checks as a required pass.
- Set one approved mask + blur profile for the entire inventory team.
- Check exports in listing thumbnail and full-detail views before publish.
- Keep a rollback folder for original internal media and publish only blurred copies.
Settings that work best
- Baseline blur: 16-24px for close-up inventory photos.
- Padding: 8-12% to survive marketplace crops.
- Run final checks on both mobile and desktop listing layouts.
Verification checklist
- Every listing passes a 2x zoom readability test.
- Every listing is checked for reflective surfaces.
- Every listing uses the same approved export preset.
What usually goes wrong
- Inconsistent mask sizing across staff -> standardize a preset and enforce it.
- Low blur on high-res images -> raise blur strength for close-up shots.
- Delayed publishing due rework -> introduce a two-step SOP checklist.

Final checks before you publish
Most privacy misses happen in the final 10%: compressed previews, reflected details, or crop variants. Treat verification as part of the workflow, not an optional step.
- Check thumbnail and compressed preview versions, not just the full file.
- Run one final pass for secondary identifiers (badges, street numbers, documents).
- Open the final photo in full-screen and confirm identifiers are unreadable.
