Editorial standards

Fotoly editorial and testing policy

Our guides are written for ecommerce sellers who need practical, verifiable image guidance—not generic search copy. This page explains how we produce and maintain that work.

How guides are prepared

Fotoly’s ecommerce image team maintains the guide library by combining product-image workflow experience with direct review of marketplace documentation. New comparison pages must identify the tools, date, inputs, and evaluation method before they are eligible for search indexing or advertising. Older comparison pages that do not yet meet that standard remain excluded while they are rechecked.

Sources and factual checks

Platform specifications are checked against first-party documentation whenever it is publicly accessible. We link those sources on the page and distinguish a platform requirement from our own recommendation. If a rule varies by category, region, or account, we say so instead of presenting one number as universal.

Original examples and AI assistance

We use Fotoly examples, screenshots, and before/after assets where possible. AI may assist with translation, summarization, drafting, and consistency checks. Source-reviewed pages link the evidence used for time-sensitive specifications and explain the verification method; this policy does not claim that every historical page has already completed that process.

Updates and corrections

Materially reviewed pages show an updated date. A year in a title is changed only after the underlying guidance is rechecked. If you find a factual error or a broken source, contact us and include the page URL and supporting documentation.

Advertising independence

Advertising does not determine our conclusions. Google ads may appear on long-form public guides, but not inside private dashboards or beside upload and generation controls. Sponsored or affiliate relationships are disclosed and qualified where they apply.
