How to blur faces

  1. 1 Add a photo (JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC). A small face-detection model runs on your device; the picture is not uploaded.
  2. 2 Every face found is marked. Click a mark to keep that face visible, or drag on the picture to add an area the detector missed or that is not a face at all.
  3. 3 Pick pixelate, blur or a solid box and set the strength. Pixelate is the safest: it cannot be undone by sharpening.
  4. 4 Download the result at the original resolution.

Frequently asked questions

Is a blurred face really anonymous?
A strong pixelation or a solid box removes the information; a light blur does not, it can be partially reversed. Use strength 6 or more, or the solid box, when it matters. Also remember that clothing, surroundings and the file's metadata can identify people too.
Why was a face missed?
Very small, turned-away, heavily shadowed or partly covered faces can slip past the detector. That is why every region is editable: drag on the picture to add one. Always check the result before sharing.
Does it work on licence plates or text?
The detector only finds faces, but hand-drawn areas work on anything: plates, name tags, screens, documents. Draw a rectangle over it and pick the rectangle shape.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Detection (YuNet, Apache 2.0, running via onnxruntime) and the rendering happen entirely in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Does the download keep EXIF data such as GPS location?
No. The image is re-encoded from pixels, so camera metadata including the location is not carried over.
