How do I hide a badge safely?

Draw a manual mask, increase padding so crops stay covered, and verify the result in the final share format.

Does this work on screenshots?

Yes. BlurFaces handles screenshots and photos, and manual rectangles are ideal for UI elements and documents.

Should I blur or fully redact sensitive details?

For public-facing posts, strong blur is usually enough. For compliance evidence or legal records, hard redaction may be safer.

Can I hide multiple details in one image?

Yes. Add as many manual masks as needed for screens, badges, addresses, receipts, or documents.

What needs to be hidden

For hide badge in image, the risk is usually not aesthetic. It is a specific identity signal such as a badge, address, document, or screen that gives away more than the rest of the image should.

Step-by-step workflow

Upload the image to BlurFaces.
Draw a manual rectangle over the badge or any other sensitive region.
Increase padding and blur until text and key shapes are no longer readable.
Export and review the exact crop or layout that will be shared publicly.

Recommended blur and masking settings

For screenshots, review notification previews and side panels, not just the center content.
If the detail contains dense text, raise blur strength until individual characters lose edge definition.
Check for the same detail appearing twice, such as a badge plus its reflection.
For listing photos, verify thumbnails and mobile crops before publishing.

Final checks before you publish

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.
