How do I blur a face in a photo?

Drop the image, draw a rectangle over each face, choose how strong the blur should be, and click Apply. The new photo is ready to download.

Can I blur multiple faces in the same photo?

Yes. Draw as many rectangles as you need — each one is blurred independently.

Can I blur licence plates, signs or names?

Yes. The tool blurs anything inside the rectangle, so it works for plates, addresses, badges, names on screens, and more.

Is the blur strong enough to be irreversible?

At medium strength or higher, the original detail can't be recovered with normal tools. For maximum safety, use a high strength and a slightly oversized rectangle.

Will my photo be uploaded?

No. The blur is applied entirely in your browser — your photo never leaves your device, which is exactly what you want when redacting people.

Within the editor, yes — clear the rectangle and the original pixels reappear. After downloading, the change is permanent.

Will quality change in the rest of the photo?

No. Only the area inside each rectangle is blurred; the rest of the image is untouched.

Can I do this on my phone?

Yes. The tool supports touch — drag your finger to draw a rectangle, then tap Apply.

Is the face-blur tool free?

Yes. Free, no signup, no watermark.

What's the difference between blur and pixelate?

Blur smooths everything inside the rectangle; pixelate replaces it with chunky squares. Both hide identity — pick whichever fits the look you want.
