Blurred Faces
Privacy-first · Faces blurred on-device · No originals stored
Need a blurred faces result without opening a full editor? BlurFaces finds faces automatically, lets you tune the blur strength, and exports a clean share-ready image in seconds.
Fast workflow
- Upload your photo or image and let automatic face 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
- Increase padding for hats, hairlines, and partial profiles.
- Confirm output quality in both original and compressed preview sizes.
- Verify every visible face, including background bystanders and reflections.
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.
Common mistakes and fixes
- Crowd photos often require extra passes for distant faces.
- Reflections in windows may contain identifiable faces.
- Low-light scenes may need manual masks for edge coverage.
Practical example
For "blurred faces", teams that use one shared checklist get fewer misses and faster handoff.

Last-mile quality review
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 image in full-screen and confirm identifiers are unreadable.
- Review reflective surfaces, including windows, paint, and mirrors.
