Frequently Asked Questions
--------------------------

Is this face blur tool free to use?

Yes, completely free. No signup required. You can blur faces in as many photos as you need without any limitations.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. All face detection and blurring happens entirely in your browser using on-device AI (face-api.js). Your photos never leave your device.

How accurate is the face detection?

The AI model detects most front-facing and slightly angled faces reliably. For faces at extreme angles, partially obscured faces, or very small faces in crowd shots, you can use the manual draw mode to add blur regions yourself.

Can I blur text, license plates, or other objects?

Yes. Click and drag on the image to draw blur rectangles over any area — car number plates, license plates, text, name badges, documents, addresses, street signs, or any sensitive information. You can combine AI face detection with manual regions.

What image formats are supported?

JPG/JPEG, PNG, WebP, and GIF. The output is always a high-quality PNG or JPG depending on the original format.

Need Privacy Masking for Large Events?

This free tool is great for a handful of photos. For large events with 1,000+ photos requiring GDPR-compliant privacy masking, check out 9Pic AI's platform with built-in watermarking and access controls.
