This page explains, in plain terms, which photos are allowed in ads, how to upload them properly, and what can lead to rejection. Every ad is manually reviewed before publication.
Quick summary
- Real photos of the person in the profile; no fake or stock images.
- Privacy: face blur or head crop is allowed; the person must still be the same as in the profile.
- Size & quality: LustX minimum is ≥ 400 × 500 px; clear, non-blurry images.
- No third-party branding: no watermarks from other sites, no contact details printed on the image.
- No illegal/violent/overtly explicit content; no minors, no deepfakes.
- Approval: images are manually checked before going live; unclear photos will be requested again.
Real photos: what is allowed?
- Only authentic photos of the person in the profile. Fake images or fake listings will be deactivated.
- To protect privacy, face blur or head crop is permitted — the person must be real and the same.
- Verification photos (when requested) are used internally only and are not published.
Note: These principles align with common industry FAQs (real photos only; blur/crop allowed; verification photo is internal only).
Image quality & formats
- At least 400 × 500 px (LustX minimum). Larger images look sharper.
- File types: JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, SVG are well supported by search engines.
- Large hero images: Wider images (≈ ≥ 1200 px) work better on surfaces like Google Discover.
What is not allowed?
- Fake/stock photos; stolen images; deepfakes or manipulated identities.
- Minors or any content depicting minors — strictly forbidden.
- Violence, coercion, or illegal content, and extremely explicit material.
- Third-party watermarks, logos/contact info in the picture, QR codes, price overlays.
Tips to improve visibility
- A gallery of at least 3–5 clear images (full body + close-up).
- Even lighting, neutral background, no heavy filters; no text over the image.
- Sensible filenames (e.g., city-name-profile-1.jpg); clean alt attributes for accessibility.
- Avoid oversized files; export with modern compression (e.g., WebP) without visible loss.
Review, rejection & re-upload
- All new/updated photos go into review; they go live only after approval.
- If rejected, you’ll receive an email with a short reason and can re-upload the images.
- If something looks suspicious, a verification may be requested (uploaded privately; not publicly visible).
Important: On LustX, every new or updated photo is manually reviewed before publication. If verification is requested, submit it only via your private dashboard. Documents remain internal and are not published. Visual review can take up to 72 hours. If rejected, you’ll get an email and can re-upload.
These rules apply to all ads. Have a specific case? Please re-upload your images and follow the guidance in the email notification.
