Blur faces in photos, free
Kids in the background, a visible license plate, a screen full of private messages — great photos often contain one thing that shouldn't be public. Drop the image below to drag blur or pixelate boxes over exactly what must stay hidden, with adjustable strength. Unlike stickers that slip, the effect bakes into the exported pixels, so theredacted photo is safe to post anywhere. Nothing uploads; sensitive images stay on your device.

Redaction that holds
Go stronger than feels needed
Light blur can be partially reversed by AI upscalers. Heavy blur or chunky pixels are the safe choice.
Catch reflections
Mirrors, windows, and shiny helmets leak faces — scan the whole frame, not just the obvious subject.
Export, don't screenshot
Download the processed file so no unredacted layer or history travels with it.
Frequently asked questions
How do I blur someone's face in a picture?
Drop the photo above, draw a box over the face, choose blur or pixelate strength, download.
Blur or pixelate — which hides better?
Both work when strong. Pixelate reads clearly as intentional redaction; heavy blur looks more natural.
Can blurred faces be unblurred?
Light blurs sometimes. Use high strength — destroyed pixels can't be recovered by anyone.
Does it work for license plates?
Yes — box the plate fully, edge to edge, at high strength.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Blurring runs entirely in your browser — ideal for sensitive images.
