Upload a photo, click Detect Faces, and the tool locates faces automatically. Select which faces to blur, adjust the intensity, and download — everything runs in your browser with no uploads, no accounts, and no watermark.
Upload a photo to detect faces
Drag & drop or click to browse — JPG, PNG, WebP
Your image never leaves your browser
Three things that make blurring faces faster and more reliable than the alternatives.
Auto Detection
The detector scans the full photo in one click, including small faces in the background and partially visible profiles. It marks what it finds so you decide which faces to blur — nothing is missed silently.
Zero Upload
Unlike most online tools, nothing is processed remotely. Face detection runs in WebAssembly on your device; the blur runs in the browser canvas. Close the tab and nothing is left behind.
Live Control
The blur preview updates in real time as you move the intensity slider or switch between blur and pixelate. Add a missed face or remove a false positive without re-uploading — the canvas reflects every change immediately.
Auto detection handles most face blur tasks in one click. Manual controls cover the edge cases. Everything runs in your browser with no uploads.
Click Detect Faces and the tool finds every face in your photo automatically using on-device AI. No manual selection needed for the common case.
If a face is missed by detection, switch to draw mode and drag a box around it. It is added instantly as a new face chip and treated the same as detected ones.
Every detected or drawn face has a remove button. Delete false positives or unwanted boxes without restarting — the canvas updates immediately.
Choose blur or pixelate, then drag the intensity slider — the canvas updates in real time so you see exactly what will be exported before downloading.
Face detection (WebAssembly) and image processing (Canvas API) both run on your device. Your photo is never uploaded to any server at any point.
No sign-up, no watermark, no usage limit. Every feature — detection, drawing, intensity control, and export — is available immediately on every visit.
Upload a photo, let the tool detect faces automatically, then adjust and export — three steps from original to finished photo.
Add a portrait, group shot, event photo, or screenshot that contains the face you want to hide.
Click Detect Faces — the tool finds faces automatically. Select which ones to blur, adjust the style and intensity, and draw a box for any face the detector missed.
Export the final photo once every face is hidden. Choose PNG, JPG, or WebP and download directly from your browser.
Most people search for blur face tools when they need to share an otherwise useful photo without exposing someone's identity.
Blur a child's face before posting photos online while keeping the rest of the picture intact for memory sharing.
Cover background faces in event photos, travel pictures, or street shots before publishing them more widely.
Blur profile photos, avatars, or participant faces in screenshots used for presentations, docs, or client communication.
Use face blur for editorial, evidence, listing, or reporting contexts where identity protection matters more than facial detail.
Both blur and pixelate are available in the tool. Here is when each style works better for blurring faces.
Best for softer privacy protection
Best for harsher censor-style masking
Detection and editing both run entirely in your browser. No photo data is transmitted to any server at any stage.
What brought them here — and why several kept coming back.
Petra Hansen
"Had a group photo from a team event I wanted to post, but several people hadn't consented. It detected all of them in one click and I was done in a few minutes."
Miriam Holst
"The fact that it runs in the browser and doesn't upload anything made it the right choice for photos that had sensitive context."
Amara Diallo
"The detection caught three faces I almost missed in the background. Would have been embarrassing to share without noticing them."

Sam Okwu
"I use it every few weeks before posting family photos. The auto-detection picks up my kids every time so I don't have to manually mark anything."
Riya Sharma
"I tried a couple of other tools first and they either uploaded the photo or wanted me to sign up. This one just worked."
Chloe Martin
"I'm not a designer. The tool does not assume you know what you're doing, and that is exactly what I needed."

Daniel Yip
"Needed to share a meeting screenshot with visible profile pictures removed. Took less time than opening a desktop editor would have."
Tobias Bergman
"Used pixelate mode for a screenshot going into a report. The block effect looked more deliberate than blur for that use case."
Marcus Webb
"Shared a photo from a public event where most people had no idea they'd end up in a picture. Detection handled the whole crowd without me having to do anything."

Straight answers about how this tool works and what to expect from it.

Yes. You can also blur profile photos, usernames, license plates, addresses, documents, or other sensitive parts of the photo.
Blur keeps edges softer and more natural, while pixelation creates a stronger censor-style block effect. Both styles are available in the tool — switch between them and preview the result before downloading.
Move between face blur, the general blur tool, and format conversion without leaving the browser-based workflow.
Upload a photo, detect faces automatically, and export a version you can safely share. Works for screenshots, event photos, listings, or any photo that needs a quick privacy edit before it goes out.
