Pretrained computer vision classifier

Identify if image is filtered with one API call.

A pretrained if image is filtered classifier that sorts an image into one of 2 categories. Use the if image is filtered API immediately, no training required, then adapt it to your own data when you need more.

What this if image is filtered classifier recognizes

A sample of the 2 labels this pretrained classifier chooses between.

Filtered
Unfiltered

Need a label that isn't here? Clone the classifier into your Nyckel console and edit the label set to fit your data.

Call the if image is filtered API

Get your own copy of this classifier behind your own endpoint — callable from any HTTP client:

API quick start
curl -X POST "https://www.nyckel.com/v1/functions/YOUR_FUNCTION_ID/invoke" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Example response

{
  "labelName": "Filtered",
  "labelId": "label_...",
  "confidence": 0.92
}

Under the hood

Model type
Zero-shot

No labeled training data behind this function — it picks between the 2 labels using a foundation model's general world knowledge (currently GPT-4o-mini). Your image is forwarded to the model provider at inference time. Because it's zero-shot, cloned label edits take effect immediately, no retraining needed.

Input
Image

Send an image URL or file to the invoke endpoint; the response is a label with a confidence score.

Make it yours
Adaptable

Clone it, then correct predictions and add your own samples in the console — Nyckel retrains automatically, turning this into a custom model tuned to your data.

More than a demo: this page is one of thousands of pretrained functions on Nyckel, an ML classification platform. You can invoke classifiers by API, review predictions, correct labels, collect samples from production traffic, and promote any pretrained function to a private custom model — without changing your integration.

Where teams use if image is filtered classification

Social Media Content Moderation

This function can be used to identify and filter out images that have been altered or enhanced using various filters. Social media platforms can ensure that user-generated content adheres to community standards, improving the overall quality of shared images.

E-commerce Quality Control

E-commerce platforms can implement this function to verify product images uploaded by sellers. By identifying filtered images, the platform can reject or flag misleading representations, leading to greater consumer trust and fewer returns.

Digital Forensics

Law enforcement and forensic specialists can employ this image classification function to analyze evidence. By determining if an image has been altered with filters, investigators can gain insights into authenticity, potentially impacting legal outcomes.

Advertising Compliance

Marketing agencies can utilize this function to ensure that promotional images comply with advertising regulations that prohibit deceptive practices. By filtering out manipulated visuals, brands can maintain integrity and avoid legal repercussions.

Art and Photography Curation

Galleries and art platforms can apply this function to curate collections based on the authenticity of images. By distinguishing between filtered and unfiltered artwork, they can showcase genuine works and preserve artistic integrity.

Machine Learning Training Data Validation

Companies using image datasets for training machine learning models can implement the filtering identifier to ensure the quality of their data. By excluding filtered images, they can improve the accuracy and reliability of their AI systems.

User-Generated Content Platforms

Websites that rely on user-generated content, such as review and community forums, can deploy this function to assess the authenticity of images submitted by users. This helps to maintain the credibility of user submissions and enhances community trust.

Common questions

What's the difference between a zero-shot and a Nyckel-trained classifier?

A zero-shot classifier uses a large foundation model's general knowledge to pick between your labels — no task-specific training, so new or edited labels work immediately. A Nyckel-trained classifier has been trained on labeled examples and runs on Nyckel's own infrastructure, which typically makes it faster, cheaper per call, and more accurate on data that resembles its training set. The "Under the hood" section on this page shows which kind this classifier is, and any classifier can be adapted into a trained one by adding your own examples.

How do I know whether this will work for my application?

Honestly: we can't know in advance — it depends on your data stream and how closely it resembles what this classifier has seen. The reliable way to find out is to measure it on your own data: start invoking the classifier with real traffic, or upload and annotate a set of images in the console — make sure they look like your production data, not idealized examples. Nyckel's evaluation metrics then show you exactly how it performs on that data before you rely on it.

What happens when it makes a mistake?

No classifier is perfect, so Nyckel is built around the correction loop: invokes can be captured for review, you confirm or correct predictions in the console, and corrections become training data. Over time the model adapts to your data distribution — accuracy on your traffic improves with use rather than staying fixed.

Do I need training data to get started?

No. This if image is filtered classifier works out of the box — clone it into your console and you'll have your own API endpoint in under a minute. Training data only enters the picture when you want to adapt it: your corrected predictions and uploaded samples improve the model, and you can also edit the label set to match your needs.

What does it cost to try?

Trying the classifier on this page is free with no signup. Cloning it requires a free account, and the free tier covers your first API calls each month — see nyckel.com/pricing for current limits and paid tiers.

Ready to classify if image is filtered at scale?

Add this pretrained classifier to your Nyckel console — you'll get a live API endpoint in under a minute, and a path to a custom model when you need one.
