What Can You Get From Filestack?

  • Object Recognition Icon

    Object Recognition

    How valuable would it be to “see” what is in every image? With our image auto-tagging service, you can easily abstract what objects appear in your uploaded images. People, animals, transportation, and thousands of other categories are at your disposal.

  • Explicit Content Detection Icon

    Explicit Content Detection

    Moderate your images to ensure you are only showing content that comply with your rules and boundaries. By implementing “safe for work” and a “not safe for work” score, our image tagging service can help you automate content moderation so you can focus on your core business.

  • Object Detection Icon

    Object Detection

    Sometimes knowing which objects are in your photos isn’t enough -- you need to know where they are, too. Filestack Object Detection uses state-of-the-art neural networks to detect and locate common objects in photos.
