Blur face in photo online
Blur a face before posting a photo, sharing a screenshot, or publishing an image with people in the background. Redacted keeps the original image on your device.
How to blur a face
- Open the photo in Redacted.
- Drag a selection over the face, or click Detect faces to find every face automatically.
- Pick a round shape if it fits the face better.
- Choose the blur or pixelate mask.
- Download the anonymised image.
Better face anonymisation
Cover slightly more than the face itself. Hairline, ears, jaw, clothing, and nearby context can still make someone recognisable. For stronger privacy, use pixelation or a solid black shape instead of a light blur.
When to use emoji
Emoji is useful for casual social images where a friendly cover is enough. For sensitive cases, use blur, pixelate, or black box.
FAQ
Can I blur several faces?
Yes. Add one selection per face.
Does Redacted detect faces automatically?
Yes. Click Detect faces and on-device AI finds the faces for you. Detection runs locally in your browser, so the photo is still never uploaded. You can also select faces manually.
Is face blur reversible?
A light blur may still leak some visual detail. Use heavy pixelation or a solid cover when privacy matters.
