Protect people’s privacy before posting event, kids or street photos: faces are detected automatically with AI, even in group shots, then blurred, pixelated or covered with a color. Draw extra areas to hide plates, names and addresses, and move or resize each area.
How to use it
- Choose images and wait for face detection.
- Review areas: delete unwanted ones and draw new ones.
- Pick the effect and strength, then click “Blur & save”.
Features
- Automatic face detection with MediaPipe.
- Blur, pixelate or solid color.
- Ellipse or rectangle with adjustable padding.
- Manual areas for plates and sensitive text.
When should you hide faces and details?
- Photos of children at school, parties or activities — especially without parents' consent.
- Street and event photos: people who happen to be in the background.
- Cars: number plates when selling a car or sharing an accident photo.
- Screenshots: names, phone numbers and profile pictures in chats before posting.
Publishing identifiable people without consent, especially minors, may breach privacy and data-protection laws in many countries. Blurring is a simple precaution.
Which method?
| Method | Look | Hiding level |
|---|---|---|
| Light blur | Natural, subtle | People who know them may still recognise them |
| Strong blur or large pixelation | Clearly intentional | High |
| Solid colour | Blunt | Highest — best for plates and numbers |
Privacy and security
“Blur face” runs entirely in your browser: your images and files are never uploaded and no copy is kept. Free, with no sign-up.
Tip: Review after auto-detection; side or very distant faces may need manual boxes.
