Privacy for Marketplace Photos
Privacy-first · Faces blurred on-device · No originals stored
Marketplace photos often leak more than the item you are selling. A face in a reflection, a visible plate, a shipping label, or a house number can tie the listing back to you. BlurFaces helps you clean that up before the photo goes live.
What to hide before you post
- Faces: bystanders, family members, and reflections in windows or mirrors
- Vehicle details: license plates, VIN stickers, dealership paperwork
- Location clues: house numbers, street signs, gate codes, delivery labels
- Personal items: school logos, badges, and screens left in frame
Recommended workflow
- Drop the listing photo into BlurFaces before uploading it anywhere else.
- Keep automatic face blurs on for anyone visible in the frame or reflected in glass.
- Add manual masks for the plate, VIN sticker, shipping label, or house number.
- Increase padding slightly so mobile crops still keep sensitive details hidden.
- Export a clean JPG, PNG, or WebP and use that as the version you post.
Why sellers use this
- Protect identity and location without making the listing look heavily edited.
- Keep the product or vehicle visible while sensitive details stay unreadable.
- Reuse the same privacy-safe image across Marketplace, Craigslist, OfferUp, and dealer inventory pages.
