Blur Faces Online: Why It Matters Before You Share

Published October 22, 2025 · 4-minute read

Every photo tells a story—and sometimes it tells more than you intend. Faces, name badges, school logos, house numbers, and license plates can expose identity and location. Here’s a quick guide to blur faces online before you share, without uploading originals to any server.

How to blur faces online in seconds

  1. Open BlurFaces and drop your photo into the page.
  2. We detect faces on‑device; toggle any you want to keep visible.
  3. Adjust padding to cover hairlines/hats and set blur strength (12–22px works for most shots).
  4. Add manual rectangles for screens, name tags, or sensitive details the detector might miss.
  5. Export the blurred copy. Free mode includes a small corner mark; upgrade for HD and no watermark.

Hide kids’ faces in photos

Children deserve extra privacy. Whether you’re posting to a class portal or a family chat, hide kids’ faces before you share. BlurFaces runs entirely in your browser, so the original image never leaves your device. See our focused guide: blur kids’ faces online.

Blur license plates for marketplace safety

When selling a car or posting driveway photos, visible plates can reveal identity and location. Draw a quick rectangle over the plate or blur it along with faces. Read more: blur license plates online.
