Licence Plates
Car number plate covers, no blur needed.
Your logo on a white, yellow or black plate, on every new advert. No blurring in an editor.
What it does
The plate is replaced while the image is built.
As Motuva builds your studio photo, it finds the number plate and puts your branded plate over it.
- Your logo on a white, yellow or black plate
- Sized to stay readable
- No download, blur and re-upload, car by car
Why it matters to a dealer
Covering the plate becomes the default, not a checklist step.
The ICO treats registration marks as personal data, and blurring by hand is the step that gets skipped when time is short.
- With covers on, every photo where a plate is found gets one
- Your name in one of the most legible places in the shot
- No editor, no separate tool
Where it fits in your workflow
A background setting, not a workflow step.
Set it once under Licence Plates. Every new advert gets your plate cover wherever a plate is found.
- Check each photo before you publish
- Set a photo to Visible to show the real plate, at no cost to your monthly images
- A hidden or steeply angled plate gets no cover
