Limitations

  • The tool does not detect faces or track moving subjects; you must position the selection yourself.
  • A rectangular region is processed, so nearby image content may also be obscured.
  • AVIF is rejected with a conversion suggestion; unsupported browser encoders return an actionable error. Inspect sensitive details at full size before sharing.

Questions

How do I use blur a face in an image?

Choose one JPG, PNG, or WebP image and locate the detail in the preview. Drag to mark the area, move it from inside the selection, or resize it with the separate handle. Choose blur or pixelation strength. Create the result in the source format and inspect the full-size output before sharing it.

What format will I download?

The downloaded JPG, PNG, or WebP keeps the detected source format. PNG and WebP preserve transparent pixels. If this browser cannot encode the detected source format, the tool reports an error instead of relabeling another format.

Does this tool find faces automatically?

No. Drag a rectangle over each detail you want to hide. Drag inside it to move it, use the separate corner handle to resize it, then download in the source format. PNG and WebP keep transparency.

Are my files uploaded?

No. This tool processes the selected files locally in your browser. Processing speed and format support depend on your device and browser.

Can I change the original file?

No. The tool creates a separate downloadable result; your source file remains unchanged.

Can I use this tool on my phone?

Yes, in a current mobile browser. Large images or batches may take longer and use more memory on a phone, so reduce the batch or image size if processing stops.
