Blur Faces App
"Blur Faces App" is a practical privacy workflow, not a design exercise. Keep it simple and repeatable.
Recommended process
- Upload a photo or MP4 and let detection complete.
- Review detections, then add manual masks for misses.
- Adjust blur + padding for safe coverage.
- Export and verify before posting.
Photo workflow best practices
- Verify every visible face, including background bystanders and reflections.
- Use manual masks for screens, badges, and house numbers.
- Keep a consistent setting profile across event albums.
Video workflow checkpoints
- Use MP4 source files for stable processing.
- Keep clips focused on the publish segment to reduce turnaround time.
- Review final frames for fast motion and occlusions.
Failure patterns to avoid
- Low-light scenes may need manual masks for edge coverage.
- Partial profiles can need slightly higher padding settings.
- Strong motion blur can reduce detection reliability in videos.
Session snapshot
The best "blur faces app" result is not the strongest blur; it is the lowest blur that still removes readable details everywhere.

Post-export verification checklist
Most privacy misses happen in the final 10%: compressed previews, reflected details, or crop variants. Treat verification as part of the workflow, not an optional step.
- Run one final pass for secondary identifiers (badges, street numbers, documents).
- Open the final upload in full-screen and confirm identifiers are unreadable.
- Review reflective surfaces, including windows, paint, and mirrors.
