Dealer Website Blur Plate
Privacy-first · Faces blurred on-device · No originals stored
"Dealer Website Blur Plate" is a practical privacy workflow, not a design exercise. Keep it simple and repeatable.
Recommended process
- Keep a rollback folder for original internal media and publish only blurred copies.
- Run a first-pass editor workflow, then a second-pass QA reviewer check.
- Document reflective-surface checks as a required pass.
- Set one approved mask + blur profile for the entire inventory team.
Production-ready defaults
- 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.
Quality checks before publishing
- Every listing passes a 2x zoom readability test.
- Every listing is checked for reflective surfaces.
- Every listing uses the same approved export preset.
Failure patterns to avoid
- Crops reveal plate edges -> increase padding and test thumbnail crops.
- Missed reflections -> add mirror/window QA pass before publishing.
- Inconsistent mask sizing across staff -> standardize a preset and enforce it.
Session snapshot

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.
- Review reflective surfaces, including windows, paint, and mirrors.
- Keep one checklist for all team members so quality remains consistent.
- Check thumbnail and compressed preview versions, not just the full file.
