Privacy photo selection

Look beyond the main subject. Addresses, name tags, receipts, screens, and car plates can be visible near the edges.

For "Privacy points to check before uploading photos", the image should make sense before any annotation is added. If it looks confusing as a small preview, choose a simpler frame, add more light, or leave more open space before generating.

Writing a note that fits the photo

Avoid uploading sensitive documents, IDs, medical records, contracts, or anything that does not need a handwritten emotional style.

A good Scribly line should feel attached to this specific privacy photo. If the wording could fit dozens of unrelated images, make it more concrete by naming the mood, action, season, object, or relationship shown in the scene.

Before saving or sharing

If other people appear in the photo, think about whether they would be comfortable with the generated image being shared.

Before saving or sharing, check that the subject is still readable, the note does not cover the important part, and private details stay out of the frame.

Use a quick edge-to-edge privacy scan

Before uploading, zoom in and scan the whole image for ten seconds. Look at edges, reflections, screens, paper on tables, car plates, badges, receipts, and background windows. Small details can become easier to notice once an image is shared.

If something private appears, cropping or choosing another photo is usually better than hoping it is too blurry to matter. Sensitive information should not be part of an emotional photo record in the first place.
