Which censor style should you use?
A black box is the strongest option because it fully covers the selected pixels. Pixelation is useful for faces and casual screenshots. Blur looks softer, but use it heavily if the hidden detail matters.
Censor a face in a photo
Use a round selection so the cover follows the head, or click Detect faces and let the on-device AI find every face for you. For a friendly look on social photos, the emoji mask works well; for real anonymity, use pixelation or a black box. There is a dedicated guide to blurring a face in a photo.
