How to blur part of a photo

  1. Upload a photoDrop in an image. It stays on your device.
  2. Cover the areasDrag over each face or detail. Pick pixelate, blur or a solid block and set the strength.
  3. Check and downloadHide outlines to review, then download a PNG or JPG.

How the privacy effects work

Pixelate shrinks the covered area to a handful of blocks and scales it back up without smoothing, so details are replaced by large squares. Blur averages each pixel with its neighbors over a radius that grows with the area's size and the strength setting. A solid block simply paints over the area.

Every effect is drawn into a new image, so the download contains only pixels: no EXIF, GPS or camera information is carried over. Outlines are only shown in the editor and are never part of the download.

Pixelate

Classic TV-style censoring that keeps the general shape.

Blur

A softer look that suits faces in the background.

Solid block

The safest choice for text, numbers and documents.

Face blur tool FAQ

Does it find faces automatically?

No. You mark each area yourself, which keeps the tool fast, private and accurate for any kind of detail, not just faces.

Can blurred faces be recovered?

Strong blur and pixelation are hard to reverse, but weak ones can sometimes be partly recovered. Use high strength or a solid block for anything sensitive.

How do I change an area after drawing it?

Click the area on the image or its button in the list to select it, then change the effect, shape or strength.

Is the location data removed?

Yes. The downloaded image is newly drawn, so it has no EXIF metadata, including GPS location.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Everything happens in your browser.
