Brand Safety & Content Standards

Pixilart is committed to providing a safe, positive, and family-friendly environment for artists of all ages. Our community includes students, educators, families, and creators from around the world, and we take brand safety and content integrity seriously. Through a combination of advanced AI moderation, automated filters, human review, and clear community standards, we ensure that all publicly visible content and advertising placements meet strict safety expectations.

Our Brand Safety Commitment

Pixilart is dedicated to maintaining a platform that is:

  • Safe for all ages - with content curated to be appropriate for a broad audience, including children and students.
  • Brand-safe for advertisers - ensuring ads run only alongside verified safe content.
  • Supportive of positive creativity - free from harmful, explicit, or hateful material.
  • Aligned with schools, parents, and educators - suitable for classroom use and young creators.

We prioritize safety over monetization. If content does not meet our standards, it is restricted, removed, or demonetized.

How We Moderate Content

Pixilart uses a three-layer moderation system to uphold platform safety:

  1. AI-Powered Screening (OpenAI Moderation, AWS Rekognition and Google Vision APIs)

    All content, including text and artwork, is scanned using the APIs to detect:

    • Hateful content
    • Harassment or threats
    • Violence or graphic themes
    • Sexual or suggestive content
    • Self-harm or dangerous acts

  2. Automated Safety Filters

    We apply additional automated filters for:

    • Profanity and bypass attempts
    • Restricted keywords
    • Image pattern/risk scanning
    • Comment and caption screening
    • Ad-exclusion logic for questionable pages

  3. Human Review Team

    When AI detects a risk or content is reported by the community, a moderator reviews it manually and takes appropriate action, including removal or user enforcement.

Content Classification & Ad Eligibility

To protect your brand, Pixilart separates content into categories:

Tier Content Type Ads?
Tier A - Brand-Safe (Default) Educational, kid-friendly, general pixel art, editor pages, profiles, contests, tutorials, creative tools Yes (Eligible)
Tier B - Limited Mild fantasy themes (cartoon monsters, skeletons, ghosts), light cartoon action, PG-level fictional elements Yes (Restricted)
Tier C - Not Allowed / Unsafe Violence, explicit, suggestive, profane, hateful, harmful, shocking, or policy-violating content No Ads (Demonetized)

If content cannot be confidently classified as safe, ads are disabled by default.

Prohibited Content (Zero Tolerance)

Pixilart does not allow content that contains or promotes:

  • Sexual, suggestive, or adult themes
  • Nudity or partial nudity
  • Profanity (including attempts to bypass filters)
  • Violence or graphic imagery
  • Hate speech, harassment, or bullying
  • Drugs, alcohol, or criminal activity
  • Self-harm or dangerous behavior
  • Shock, gore, or disturbing themes

Violations may result in removal, account restriction, or permanent ban.

Ad Placement Safety Rules

To ensure brand suitability:

  • Ads are only displayed on verified safe content
  • Ads are removed from any content flagged by moderation
  • Ads are not shown near unmoderated comments
  • Ads are disabled if safety cannot be confirmed
  • Brand safety is enforced globally and consistently

Protecting Young Creators

Pixilart is designed to be “Rated for Everyone.” We support a younger audience and welcome schools, students, and families. Our policies reflect:

  • Respectful communication
  • No suggestive or adult material
  • Classroom-appropriate content
  • COPPA-aware product design (not a legal claim, but a safety standard)

Parents and educators can participate knowing we actively protect young users.

Users can report artwork, messages, or profiles that violate our content standards. Every report is reviewed by our moderation team.
