Blur Face FAQ
Will my original image be changed?
No. Your original image stays unchanged. Download the result as a separate file.
Is automatic face detection perfect?
No. Small, turned or partly hidden faces can be missed. Check the preview and add a box over anything not covered before you download.
What if a face is not detected?
Drag on the image to draw a box over it. You can also remove any box you do not want blurred.
Can blurred areas be reversed?
Blurring and pixelation change the actual pixels in the downloaded file. For sensitive documents choose “Solid” to fully redact.
