How do I fix "blurfaces fix for faces in low light"?

Treat it as a QA problem: review the weak area, increase blur and padding, then add manual masks wherever detection is unreliable.

Why does face blur miss some people?

Small faces, occlusion, low light, strong motion blur, and side profiles can all reduce detection confidence.

When should I use manual masks?

Use them whenever the detector misses a face, a reflection, or a non-face identifier like a badge or screen.

What should I verify before publishing?

Check thumbnails, mobile previews, compressed exports, and reflections because leaks often appear outside the full-size preview.

Diagnose the failure mode

Troubleshooting works best when you identify the actual cause: tiny faces, side profiles, low light, motion blur, reflections, or a non-face detail that needs manual masking. Different failures need different fixes.

Step-by-step workflow

Re-open the original photo and inspect the missed area closely.
Increase blur and padding, then add a manual mask if the detector still struggles.
Export again and compare the full-size version with the compressed preview.
Only publish after the weak case has been checked on mobile or in-platform thumbnails.

Fixes that usually work

Use manual masks on profiles, helmets, reflections, or low-light subjects.
Verify thumbnails, reflections, and mobile previews before you consider the problem solved.
Raise blur strength when dense detail remains readable after export compression.
Trim noisy frames or re-crop the asset to simplify what the detector sees.

Pre-publish QA checks

Review reflective surfaces and edge crops.
Confirm the final format, not just the editor preview.
Use a second set of eyes for high-stakes posts or client-facing media.
