Frequently asked questions
How do I blur a face in a photo?
Drop the photo here. Faces are blurred automatically; adjust the strength and click Save image.
Can I blur a number plate or text?
Yes. Drag a box over it on the photo and it is blurred like a face.
Blur or pixelate: which is safer?
Both hide the face at high strength. Use a strong setting so the person cannot be recognised.
What if a face is not detected?
Side views, sunglasses or very small faces can be missed. Drag a box over them by hand.
Is the photo uploaded?
No. Faces are detected on your device.
