Click to upload or drag & drop a photo
Upload, then use the sliders to position the blur over the facePositioning the blur accurately
There's no automatic face detection here — you position the blur box yourself using the sliders, which also means it works just as well on things that aren't faces, like a licence plate or a name tag. Make the box a little larger than the area you want hidden to make sure the edges are fully covered.
How to use Blur Face in Photo
- Upload the photo you want to edit.
- Adjust any sliders, colours, or options shown above the upload box — the preview updates as you go.
- Compare the before and after side by side.
- Download the edited photo once it looks the way you want.
Tips for best results
- Try a few different settings before downloading — most sliders here update the preview instantly, so it's quick to compare options.
- Work from your best-quality original; effects applied on top of an already-compressed photo tend to look rougher.
- If you're combining this with another tool (like compressing afterwards), apply this effect first, then compress last.
❓ Frequently asked questions
Can I apply this more than once to stack the effect?
Yes — download the result and re-upload it to apply the effect again, though stacking some effects can look over-processed quickly.
Does this work on PNG images with transparency?
Transparent areas are generally preserved unless the tool specifically converts to JPG, which fills transparency with white.
Does this automatically detect faces?
No — you position the blur area manually with the sliders, which also lets you blur anything else in the photo, not just faces.
Can I blur more than one face?
This tool applies one blur region per pass; for a second area, download this result and re-upload it to blur again.
Is blurring reversible by someone else?
A strong blur meaningfully obscures detail and is not trivially reversible, though for maximum certainty our solid-box censor tool fully removes the underlying pixels from view.
