About this tool
Protect privacy before you share a picture. Drag over faces, license plates, addresses, documents or screens and cover them with a strong blur, pixelation or a solid box. Add as many areas as you need, undo the last one or clear them all.
In browsers that support it, a Find faces button detects faces automatically. Your photo never leaves your device.
