Why use this tool
Made for sensitive material
Photos often capture more people than you plan to show publicly. A face in the background, a child in a group shot, or a bystander in a street photo can create privacy concerns.
Blurring a face before you post the image is a simple way to reduce that risk while keeping the rest of the photo intact.
This tool gives you manual control so you can blur one face or many, then download the edited image directly from your browser.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I blur more than one face in the same photo?
Yes. Draw a separate selection over each face. There is no limit to how many faces you can blur in one session.
What is the best mode for hiding faces?
Blur looks natural in photos. Pixelate is common for news-style masking. Black Box is the strongest visible redaction if natural appearance is not important.
Can I blur a face in a group photo?
Yes. Draw a box around only the person you want to hide. The rest of the photo stays unchanged.
Does this work on pet faces or profile photos too?
Yes. The tool works on any selected part of the image, including profile photos, pet faces, or identifying features like name tags.
Is the photo uploaded when I blur a face?
No. The image is processed locally in your browser and never uploaded for editing.
