About Photo Face Blur

Photo Face Blur hides faces in a photo before you share it. Upload a picture and faces are detected instantly, right in your browser — click any detected face to include or exclude it, and choose a detection level from prominent faces only up to hunting small, distant ones.

Beyond faces, you can drag extra blur areas over license plates, name tags or screens. Two effects are available — a soft frosted blur or chunky pixelation — each at three strengths, and the live preview uses the same math as the final render, so what you see is what you get.

Face detection runs entirely in your browser; the photo is only uploaded at the end to render the final image at full resolution on the server. The tool is free but requires signing in.

How to use Photo Face Blur

  1. Sign in and upload a photo (JPG, PNG or WebP), or paste it from the clipboard.
  2. Review the detected faces and click any face to include or exclude it; raise the detection level to find smaller faces.
  3. Drag extra blur areas over plates, name tags or screens if needed.
  4. Pick the effect — blur or pixelate — and set the strength.
  5. Render the result, compare it side by side with the original, and download.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, blurring faces is free and uses no credits — you just need to be signed in to render and download the final image.

Entirely in your browser — the photo is analyzed locally and is only uploaded once, at the end, to render your final image at full resolution. Only the selected areas are changed in that render.

Yes. Every detected face is listed and outlined — click a face to include or exclude it. You can also draw manual areas for anything the detector should not decide for you.

Raise the detection level to High to hunt small and distant faces, or simply drag a blur area over the spot yourself — manual areas work exactly like detected faces in the final render.

No. The effect is applied destructively to the downloaded image, so blurred or pixelated regions cannot be reconstructed from the file you share. Keep your original if you need the unblurred version.

Pixelate produces obvious censor blocks that clearly signal redaction; blur gives a discreet, editorial frosted look. Both come in three strengths and hide the region equally well at the stronger settings.
