What Is Face Blurring?
Privacy-first · Faces blurred on-device · No originals stored
Face blurring is a privacy technique that hides identity details while keeping the overall scene intact. It is commonly used for kids' photos, classroom posts, and marketplace listings.
How face blurring works
Modern tools detect faces automatically and apply a blur filter to the face region. Stronger blur and extra padding help prevent recognition after compression.
When to blur faces
- School, classroom, or youth sports photos
- Street footage or public events
- Marketplace or real estate listings with people in frame
Quick workflow
- Upload the photo or video.
- Review detections and add manual masks.
- Adjust blur strength and export.
