About Blur Faces

Blur Faces protects the people in your pictures by hiding each face before you share them. Upload a photo of a crowd, a classroom, a street or a team event, and the AI finds each face and hides it, with no manual selection needed. It's useful for social posts, reports, school newsletters and anything shared without everyone's consent. To take a person out of your own photo entirely, use the AI Object Remover.

Pick a Style from Blur, Pixelate, Emoji or Solid block, then set Strength, 70 by default, to decide how heavily faces are hidden. Several photos can go into one task. Faces that are tiny, turned away or partly covered can be missed, so check the result before you publish. For number plates or anything the AI doesn't mark, Blur Image lets you choose areas by hand.
