Face & Area Blur
Hide faces, license plates, house numbers and screens in your photos. Faces are found automatically, and you can add or adjust any area by hand.
What “never uploaded” means for this tool
When you open this page, your browser downloads the blur tool itself, plus a small face-finding program (about 12 MB, loaded the first time you use it). From then on, finding faces and blurring happen inside your browser, on your own device. Your photos are never sent to this website’s server or to anyone else, so we never see them.
The face finder is open-source software from Google (MediaPipe), but here it runs entirely on your computer or phone. Nothing about your photo goes to Google, us or anyone else.
Nothing is kept. Close the tab and your photo is gone. The download also has hidden location and camera info removed.
What the server does see: like any website, the server that delivers this page sees basic connection details such as your IP address and which files were requested. Never your photos.
Visit counting: this site counts visits with privacy-friendly analytics. No cookies, no ads, no tracking across other sites, and your IP address is not stored. It records which page you opened, your country, your device type, how long you stayed and when you download a result, never the file or anything in it.

Questions
How do I blur a face in a photo?
Drop the photo in and faces are found and blurred automatically. Drag over any it missed, then download.
Can blurred faces be un-blurred?
The blur here throws the detail away rather than smearing it, so it cannot be reversed. For the strongest privacy choose Solid.
Can I blur a license plate or address?
Yes. Drag a box over anything in the photo to hide it.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Face finding and blurring run on your own device with an open-source model; the photo is never sent anywhere.
