Blur Face in Photos — Free & Private

Want to share a photo but hide the faces in it? This tool spots faces automatically and blurs them — across a single image or a whole batch. Detection and blurring run in your browser, so the photos never leave your device. That matters: a privacy tool that uploads your images would defeat its own purpose.

Drag & Drop Photos

Blur, pixelate or cover faces · in your browser

100% Browser-Local — photos never leave your device

Drop your photos in and each detected face is covered with a soft blur you can fine-tune. Miss one, or want to hide a name badge or licence plate? Add a blur area by hand. Then download a single image or the whole set as one ZIP — all without an upload.

When to blur a face

Blurring is a simple way to respect privacy before you publish. Common cases:

Sharing classroom, event or workplace photos without everyone’s consent.
Posting street or travel shots that caught strangers in the background.
Publishing screenshots, case studies or listings that show real people.
Protecting children’s faces before anything goes online.

Private by design

Face detection runs on Google’s MediaPipe, loaded into your browser, so no photo is ever sent away to be analysed. After blurring, you can remove the background entirely with the Bulk Background Remover, or shrink the result with the Bulk Image Compressor.

Frequently asked questions

Is the face blur tool free?

Yes — free, with no sign-up and no watermark, and no limit on how many photos you blur.

Does it find faces automatically?

Yes. On-device face detection locates faces for you; you can also adjust or add a blur area by hand if one is missed.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Detection and blurring both run in your browser, so the images never leave your device — which is the whole point of a privacy tool.

Can the blur be reversed?

No. The blur is baked into the exported image, so the hidden detail cannot be recovered from the saved file.
