AI‑Powered Automatic Detection & Blur Faces
- •Multi‑Face Detection: Instantly identifies all faces in the image, regardless of count.
- •Choice of Blur Type: Select between a smooth Gaussian Blur or a block‑based Pixelate Blur for each face.
Manual Drawing Mode for Refinement
- •Blur Mode: Paint additional blur onto any area—ideal for covering missed spots or adding stronger effects.
- •Eraser Mode: Precisely remove blur from selected regions to restore facial details.
- •Adjustable Brush Size: Control the size of your brush for both blurring and erasing with a dedicated slider.
What's the recommended blur face workflow for complex group photos?
For best results with large group images:
1
Let the AI automatically detect and blur all faces
2
Review the results and use the Eraser Tool to correct any over-detection (like non-facial elements accidentally blurred)
3
Use the Blur Brush to cover any missed facial areas
4
Adjust pixel size or blur strength as needed before final export

Blur Faces Tool: FAQ
How to blur out a face on photo with the blur face tool?
1. Upload your image to our website.
2. Select the "Blur Faces" tool – AI will automatically detect all faces.
3. Choose Gaussian Blur (natural look) or Pixelate Blur (strong privacy), then click "Apply Blur to All Faces".
4. Use Manual Drawing Mode to refine with the Blur Brush (add blur) or Eraser (remove blur).
5. Export your image. EXIF metadata is removed by default for privacy.
*All processing happens in your browser—no uploads, no data stored.*
What makes your Blur Face tool different from manual face blurring?
Our Blur Face tool uses AI-powered face detection that automatically identifies every face in your image—regardless of how many faces are present. This eliminates the need for time-consuming manual selection, allowing you to blur all faces with one click while maintaining perfect accuracy even in group photos and complex scenes.
Can the AI detect faces at different angles or partially obscured faces?
Yes, our advanced detection algorithm recognizes faces across multiple orientations (front, side, tilted) and can identify partially visible faces. The system automatically adjusts detection sensitivity to catch most visible facial features, though extremely obscured faces (less than 30% visible) may require minor manual refinement.
What blur styles are available for face anonymization?
You can choose between two professionally optimized blur types:
• Gaussian Blur: Creates smooth, natural-looking anonymization ideal for photos and videos
• Pixelate Blur: Applies block-based pixelation that provides stronger privacy protection and resists AI reconstruction attempts.
How do I handle faces the AI might have missed?
Our Manual Drawing Mode lets you easily add blur to any missed areas:
• Blur Brush: Paint additional blur onto undetected faces or facial features
• Eraser Tool: Precisely remove blur from non-facial areas if over-detection occurs
• Adjustable Brush Size: Control application area for detailed refinement
Is there a limit to how many faces can be detected and blurred?
No—the tool processes all detectable faces regardless of quantity. Whether it's a single portrait or a crowd photo with dozens of faces, the AI will identify each one and apply your selected blur effect consistently across the entire image.
How does the Blur Faces tool protect my privacy compared to other online tools?
Unlike cloud-based face blurring services that upload your images to external servers, our tool processes everything 100% in your browser. This means your photos never leave your device, facial data is never transmitted externally, and all EXIF metadata can be optionally removed during export for complete privacy protection.
Can I adjust the blur intensity for different faces in the same image?
Yes, the Manual Drawing Mode allows you to customize blur strength for individual faces or facial regions. After automatic blurring, simply use the Blur Brush with adjusted strength settings to enhance or reduce effects on specific areas.
Can I combine face blurring with other privacy protection tools?
Absolutely. We recommend completing your face blurring first, then:
1. Export your processed image
2. Re-upload it to additional tools like Selective Blur Image or Pixelate Blur Image
3. Apply further privacy protection as needed
This sequential approach maintains 100% local processing while allowing comprehensive privacy editing.
Is the face detection data stored or used for training?
No—all face detection occurs locally in your browser with no data storage, transmission, or AI training. The detection model runs entirely on your device, and all processing data is cleared immediately after you close the browser tab.
