How to use
When it helps
Product listings, reviews and group photos often catch other people's faces, license plates, or the name and address on a shipping label. Posting them as-is can create privacy problems for you and for others.
This tool hides only the areas you mark, using pixelation, blur or a solid black box. Pixelation and black boxes make the original content hard to recognize, while blur hides things more softly without spoiling the mood of the photo. For text that must not be readable, use a high strength or a black box to be safe.
Face detection finds front-facing faces and adds areas for them automatically. Small or side-on faces can be missed, so always check with your own eyes before saving.
FAQ
Can the hidden parts be recovered?
The saved file does not keep the original pixels of the hidden areas. A light blur can still leave shapes visible, so use a higher strength or a black box for sensitive information.
How accurate is face detection?
It works well on faces that are fairly large and close to front-facing. Very small faces, profiles and partly covered faces can be missed, so add those areas yourself.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Everything, including face detection, runs inside your browser. Only the detection model file is downloaded the first time.
I drew an area by mistake.
Use Undo last area to remove areas one at a time, or Clear all to start over.
Does the rest of the photo lose quality?
Saved as PNG, everything outside the hidden areas is identical to the original. JPG is saved at high quality (92%).
