Free blur faces & anonymize photos.

Drop the photo onto the tool. Click and drag a rectangle over the face. The region updates live with your chosen mode (blur, pixelate, or black-out). Add more regions for additional faces. When you're done, hit Download. Everything runs in your browser; the photo never leaves your device.

Blur produces a Gaussian-style soft mask, good for casual privacy and natural-looking redactions in social posts. Pixelate is the classic privacy mosaic (chunky squares), instantly recognizable as 'this is intentionally hidden.' Black-out paints a solid black rectangle, the courtroom and legal-document standard; nothing can be inferred from the masked region.

No. The downloaded image is a flat re-render. The original pixels under the masked regions are discarded when you save, so there is no way to un-blur the result. This is what you want for privacy use. Keep a copy of the original if you might want to remove the masks later.

Yes. The tool is region-agnostic: any rectangle you draw gets the chosen treatment. Common uses are faces, license plates, street numbers, ID cards on a desk, screen text, and bank statement headers on document photos.

No, this version uses manual rectangles. We picked manual because automatic face detection misses partial faces, reflections, and side profiles, and you may want to redact things that aren't faces (license plates, screen text). Manual rectangles give you full control.

JPEG (most compatible, smallest file), PNG (lossless), or WebP (modern, smaller than JPEG at the same quality). JPEG and WebP have a quality slider; PNG is always lossless.

Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-file size limit, no watermark on the output. The whole pipeline runs in your browser. We never see the photo or the regions you mark.

No, the canvas-based re-render strips the EXIF block. For privacy uses that's usually what you want anyway: a photo with faces blurred but GPS still embedded is not truly anonymous. If you need to keep some EXIF, edit it back in with our EXIF Editor after blurring.

Social platforms strip EXIF, but they keep the visible pixels. A photo of a child posted with a face visible identifies the child even with no metadata. A photo of a screen with a bank balance visible leaks the balance even with no metadata. Visible-pixel redaction and metadata stripping are two separate privacy steps; do both when the situation calls for it.

Same idea, no install, no signup, runs in the browser. We trade Photoshop's pixel-perfect selection tools for instant access and the privacy guarantee that the photo never leaves your device. For quick face / plate / address redaction, that's the right trade.
