AI Face Blur
Automatically detect and hide faces in photos to protect privacy.
About the AI Face Blur Tool
Privacy is becoming increasingly important in the digital age. Whether you are sharing a screenshot of a video call, posting a street photo on social media, or publishing images for a news article, protecting the identity of individuals is often necessary. Our AI Face Blur tool automates this process for you.
Manually blurring faces in photo editing software is tedious and time-consuming. This tool uses advanced computer vision technology (BlazeFace) to instantly detect human faces in any image. It then automatically applies a blur or pixelation effect specifically to the facial regions, keeping the rest of the image clear and untouched.
Like our other privacy-focused tools, this operates entirely client-side. Your photos are processed in your web browser and are never uploaded to our servers. This means you can safely redact photos of family members, sensitive documents, or crowds without worrying about your data being stored elsewhere.
Key Features
- Automatic Detection: No need to manually select faces. The AI scans the image and finds them for you.
- Multiple Privacy Modes: Choose between a smooth "Gaussian Blur", a retro "Pixelate" effect, or a solid "Black Box" censor.
- Adjustable Strength: Use the intensity slider to control how unrecognizable the faces become.
- Batch Processing: The tool handles multiple faces in a single image simultaneously.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can this detect every face?
The AI is highly accurate for most standard photos where faces are visible. However, it might miss faces that are very blurry, turned completely to the side (profile view), or heavily obscured by masks or sunglasses. Always check the result before sharing sensitive content.
Does it work on group photos?
Yes! The tool is designed to detect multiple faces at once. It will loop through every face it finds in a crowd and apply your chosen privacy effect to all of them instantly.
Is the original image recoverable?
Once you download the blurred image, the face data is permanently altered in that file. It is not possible to "un-blur" the image to reveal the original face using standard software, making it safe for public sharing.
Is my photo uploaded to the cloud?
No. We use TensorFlow.js to run the AI model directly on your device. Your images stay in your browser memory and are never transmitted over the internet.
