Automatically detect and blur every face in your photo to protect privacy. AI finds the faces for you — adjust, add or remove blur boxes as needed, then download. Everything runs in your browser, so your images never leave your device.
JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC — faces are detected automatically
First use loads the face-detection engine (~9 MB); it is cached afterwards.
Whether you are sharing street photography, event pictures, screenshots or documents, blurring faces keeps bystanders anonymous and helps you comply with privacy expectations. Our detector finds faces automatically and you stay in full control of every blur box.
Add any image. Faces are detected automatically the moment it loads.
Fine-tune strength, switch between blur and pixelate, and add or remove boxes.
Export your anonymized photo as PNG, JPG or WebP with the blur baked in.
Any time a photo leaves your hands, the people in it come along. Street and travel shots catch bystanders who never agreed to appear online; event, classroom and team photos often include people who did not opt in; video-call screenshots, marketplace listings and real-estate photos regularly capture faces by accident. Privacy rules such as the GDPR generally treat an identifiable face as personal data, and many platforms and employers expect faces to be anonymized before publication — blurring them first is usually the simplest way to stay on the safe side.
This tool is built for exactly that situation. Detection runs on your own device, so even sensitive material never leaves your computer, and the feathered oval masks blend into the photo instead of leaving harsh rectangles. Blur boxes can be added, moved or removed until only the right people are hidden.
Everything you need to know about blurring faces.
No. Detection and blurring both run locally in your browser with an on-device model, so your photos are never uploaded anywhere.
You have full manual control. Add a blur box anywhere by dragging on empty space, move or resize any box, and double-click to delete one you do not want.
Yes. The blur or pixelation is rendered directly into the exported image, so the original detail under each box cannot be recovered from the downloaded file.
You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP or HEIC photos — iPhone HEIC files are converted automatically — and export the blurred result as PNG, JPG or WebP.
Both are applied as a soft-edged oval and both are equally permanent in the export. Blur looks more natural in photos, while pixelation makes the redaction obvious at a glance. Either way, raise the strength slider until the face is unrecognizable even as a thumbnail.
The first photo triggers a one-time download of the on-device face-detection engine (about 9 MB). Your browser caches it, so later visits start detecting almost instantly. Your photo itself is never uploaded.
