How to blur faces in a photo

  1. Click the box above or drop a photo onto it. Faces are found and covered automatically.
  2. Drag over the photo to cover anything else, such as a face that was missed, a license plate or a name. Undo removes the last area.
  3. Choose Blur, Pixelate or Black box and the strength, then click Download.

Frequently asked questions

Some faces were not found.

Small, turned or partly hidden faces can be missed. Drag a box over them yourself, and check the whole photo before sharing it.

Can a blur be undone?

Light blurs and pixelation can sometimes be partly reversed. For anything sensitive, use a high strength or Black box, which cannot be undone.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Face detection runs in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.
