Why Anonymize Faces in Photos?
Publishing photos on the web, in reports, or on social media without consent can violate privacy laws such as GDPR. Blurring or pixelating faces is the simplest way to protect the identity of individuals who did not consent to being photographed or shared.
Journalists, researchers, event photographers, and content creators regularly need to anonymize photos before publishing them. Our tool makes this effortless — upload once, get a privacy-safe image in seconds.
Blur vs. Pixelate — Which to Choose?
🌫️ Gaussian Blur
Applies a smooth, soft blur that obscures facial features while looking natural. Works well for news articles, social posts, and anywhere you want the anonymization to be subtle.
🟦 Pixelate
Replaces face regions with large colored blocks. Gives a recognizable "censored" look often used in TV production and official documents.
