If there’s anything the average employee (or casual internet user) has learned during the last decade of digital renaissance, it’s that clicking on suspicious links can get you in a LOT of trouble. However, it’s not enough to put the onus entirely on client-side users, especially when we include file…

File uploads infected with viruses and malware can cause major problems if they bypass our security policies. The below API solution references a growing list of more than 17 million virus and malware signatures, digging deep into files to identify if threats exist within them. In addition, this API allows…

Generally speaking, there are two common ways to detect if a pair of images are similar: 1) by comparing perceptual hashes or 2) by using deep learning AI to distinguish differences. The free-to-use API provided below allows you to compare two images through the latter method, requiring both image files…

Once you generate a perceptual hash for an image, you can use that hash to compute the Hamming Distance between it and the hash of another image. With the ready-to-run Python code provided below, you can easily compare two perceptual image hash strings in a single request and return an…

One of the best ways to track down duplicates of a copyright image is by using perceptual hashes — and to do that, you need to create these hashes in the first place. Using the complementary Python code below, you can easily take advantage of a perceptual hash generation API…

Year over year, handheld and smartphone cameras seem to receive constant improvements enabling us to take increasingly detailed images. However, detail isn’t always necessary for a desirable photo aesthetic. Through image posterization, you can reduce the number of distinct colors in your image to create a smooth and interesting effect…

Swirl distortion is a common way to imbue images with a unique look. …

Black and white images offer a desirable, moody aesthetic with greater detail in shadowy areas, and they also boast a smaller file size than their color-filled counterparts. Conveniently, calling the below API in your Python workflow will allow you to quickly convert color images to black and white grayscale through…

When we talk about digitally embossing an image, we’re referring to a visual effect which emulates the centuries-old physical embossment process (creating raised surfaces on physical objects for an enhanced look & feel). …
