What is Face Blurring?
Face blurring protects privacy by obscuring faces and sensitive information in photos. It's essential for GDPR compliance, protecting minors, maintaining anonymity, and removing personally identifiable information before sharing images publicly or in documentation.
Our tool lets you manually select and blur any areas in your images—faces, license plates, documents, or any sensitive content—with adjustable blur intensity for optimal privacy protection.

- Upload your photo containing faces or sensitive content
- Draw rectangles around areas you want to blur (faces, plates, text, etc.)
- Adjust blur intensity from light (5) to heavy (20)
- Click "Apply Blur" to process and download your anonymized image

Frequently Asked Questions
Is face blurring reversible?
No. Once blurred and saved, the original pixels are permanently lost. This ensures privacy protection is irreversible. Always keep original images separately if needed.
Does this work automatically or do I select faces manually?
This is a manual tool. You draw rectangles around areas to blur, giving you precise control over what gets obscured. This ensures accuracy and lets you blur any content, not just faces.
How much blur should I use?
For face anonymization, use intensity 12-15 minimum. For license plates or text, 15-20 ensures content is completely unreadable. Light blur (5-10) might still allow identification.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript canvas. Your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy.
Can I blur multiple people in one photo?
Yes. Draw separate rectangles around each face or area you want to blur. You can blur as many regions as needed before applying the effect.
What image formats are supported?
Upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images. The blurred result is saved as PNG to preserve quality without compression artifacts.
Tips for Best Results
- Use blur intensity 12+ for faces to ensure they're truly unrecognizable
- Draw rectangles slightly larger than the face to catch ears and hairline
- For license plates, use intensity 18-20 to make text completely illegible
- Blur backgrounds containing sensitive documents or personal information
- Save original images before blurring—the effect cannot be undone
- When in doubt, use higher blur intensity for better privacy protection
