Photo privacy blur

Task tips

Automatic detection finds faces only. Cover license plates and other private details manually by dragging a rectangle or entering pixel coordinates. Check the entire exported image: detection can miss small, angled or obscured faces. Pixelation does not guarantee anonymity.

A complete workflow

Load the photo and use Detect faces as a starting point. Inspect every face, then drag additional masks over missed faces, plates or addresses. Use Undo last mask for a mistake. Prepare the PNG and inspect the downloaded copy, not only the outlined editing preview.

If the result is wrong

Automatic detection finds faces, not license plates. Small or side-facing faces may be missed. If dragging is awkward, enter the mask’s left, top, width and height in source-image pixels. Check reflections and background documents too.

What the export contains

The PNG contains pixelated regions without the orange editing outlines. Detection downloads a face model, while manual masking can be used without starting detection. Pixelation is not guaranteed anonymization; use an opaque redaction workflow when your privacy requirements demand it.
