Hiding faces protects the privacy of people in a photo before you share it. This tool automatically finds faces with on-device AI and blurs each one, so you don't have to mark them by hand.

- Download: Save the privacy-protected photo.
What you can do with Blur Faces in a Photo
Blur Faces in a Photo is built to do one job well, and gives you everything you need to get it exactly right:
Automatic detection. Finds faces for you — no manual selection.
Multiple faces. Blurs every face it detects in the photo.
Private, on-device. Detection and blurring run in your browser.
Free, no watermark. Protect as many photos as you like.
Protect identities automatically
Posting group or street photos can expose bystanders. Automatic face blurring covers them in one step, and because it runs locally, the original photo never leaves your device.
Whether you need it once or every day, Blur Faces in a Photo keeps the process quick and predictable. Because it focuses on a single task, there are no crowded menus to wade through — you open the page, set what you need, and get your result. That simplicity is exactly why a dedicated image tool beats a heavyweight editor for a job like this.
Everything runs in your browser
Unlike most online tools, Blur Faces in a Photo never uploads your image to a server. The moment you choose a file, it is processed right here in your web browser using your own device's power. Nothing is sent over the internet, nothing is stored, and nothing is shared with anyone.
That gives you two real advantages. First, it is private: sensitive documents, ID photos and personal files never leave your computer or phone. Second, it is fast — there is no slow upload or download round-trip, so even large files are handled almost instantly. And it is completely free, with no watermark added to your result and no account required.

- Automatic detection: Finds faces for you — no manual selection.
- Multiple faces: Blurs every face it detects in the photo.
