Hiding faces before you share
Posting a photo from an event, a protest, or a busy street? Blurring the faces of people who didn't agree to be photographed is the responsible — and in many places, legally safer — thing to do. This tool lets you drag a box over each face and soften or pixelate it in seconds, with the rest of the photo untouched.
Add as many boxes as there are faces; each is obscured independently. Choose a smooth blur for a natural look, or pixelation for the obvious 'censored' style. The effect is flattened into the downloaded file, so the faces can't be recovered from the saved image.
How to blur a face
- Open the photo. Drag it onto the tool, choose a file, or paste it.
- Box each face. With Selected areas chosen, drag a rectangle over every face you want to hide.
- Blur and download. Pick blur or pixelate, raise the strength, and download in your original format.
Cover the whole face
Draw each box a little larger than the face so the edges, hairline, and any identifying features are fully inside it. For faces that must never be identifiable, use a strong blur or the Redact bars.
Cómo funciona blur a face
- Qué hace
- Desenfoque o pixelado por cada cara
- Cómo lo hace la herramienta
- Arrastras un recuadro sobre cada cara y la herramienta oculta cada recuadro de forma independiente —un desenfoque suave de varias pasadas para un aspecto natural, o un mosaico de bloques para el estilo censurado evidente— dejando el resto de la foto a resolución completa.
- Para qué sirve
- Ocultar las caras de transeúntes que nunca aceptaron ser fotografiados —en un evento, una protesta o una calle concurrida— es lo responsable y, en muchos lugares, lo más seguro legalmente antes de publicar.
- ¿Se puede revertir?
- Como el efecto se aplana en el archivo descargado sin capas separadas, la cara oculta no puede recuperarse de la imagen guardada; aun así usa un ajuste fuerte, porque un desenfoque ligero sobre una cara pequeña puede sobrevivir.
Consejo: Dibuja cada recuadro un poco más grande que la cara para que el nacimiento del pelo, las orejas y la mandíbula queden totalmente cubiertos, ya que es fácil olvidar los rasgos identificativos de los bordes.

Preguntas frecuentes
Can I blur more than one face?
Yes. Drag a separate box over each face — there's no limit. Use Undo or the small ✕ on a box to remove one.
Should I blur or pixelate a face?
Both hide a face. Blur looks more natural; pixelation reads more clearly as censored. For maximum certainty, use Redact to paint a solid bar over the face.
Is the blurred face removed from the file?
Yes. The effect is flattened into the image at download — there are no separate layers, so the original face cannot be recovered from the saved file.
Where is my image processed?
The blurring happens in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
