Blur Face is an AI-powered face anonymization tool that automatically detects and applies blur, pixelate, or emoji effects to faces in photos online. Using advanced face detection algorithms with Fabric.js interactive canvas, this tool identifies all faces in your image and lets you move, resize, and customize each blur region. Choose between traditional gaussian blur, mosaic pixelation, or fun emoji overlays for complete privacy protection. Perfect for blurring faces in crowd photos, pixelating sensitive content, or adding emoji faces for creative social media posts.
Upload any JPG, PNG, or WebP image to automatically detect all faces using AI. Detected face regions appear as moveable red rectangles - drag to reposition, resize corners to adjust coverage area. Switch between three effect modes: Blur for smooth gaussian blur (adjustable intensity 1-50), Pixelate for mosaic censorship effect (pixel size 2-50), or Emoji to cover faces with fun emoticons (😀 😎 🤣 😱 and more). Add manual blur regions with the "Add Manual Blur" button for non-face areas like license plates, text, or background objects. Download your privacy-protected image in PNG, JPEG, or WebP format with effects applied at original resolution.
Unlike basic face blur tools with fixed detection boxes, this tool uses Fabric.js to make every blur region fully interactive. Move detected face regions to cover more or less area, resize to include hair and shoulders, or delete regions you don't want blurred. Add manual blur rectangles anywhere on the image for custom privacy protection beyond faces - blur street signs, watermarks, tattoos, or any sensitive information. Each region can be adjusted independently, giving you precise control over what gets anonymized before download.
Use traditional blur for professional contexts - GDPR-compliant photography, corporate event documentation, medical case studies, or legal evidence where faces must be unidentifiable but the image maintains a polished appearance. Choose pixelate effect for strong censorship needs - security footage, witness protection documentation, or sensitive journalism where heavy anonymization is required. The mosaic pixelation effect is universally recognized as privacy protection. Select emoji overlay for creative social media content - fun Instagram stories, TikTok videos, meme creation, or lighthearted photo anonymization. Emoji faces work great for children's photos, party pictures, or casual social media posts where strict anonymization isn't required but you want privacy-conscious sharing.
Export processed images at full original resolution up to 4096x4096 pixels maintaining image quality in non-affected areas. Stack blur algorithm provides natural-looking gaussian blur without banding artifacts. Pixelate effect creates clean mosaic blocks at any pixel size from 2px (light obscuration) to 50px (complete anonymization). Emoji overlays render as high-resolution Unicode characters that scale perfectly to face size. PNG format preserves lossless quality for all effect types. WebP reduces file size by 30-50% compared to JPEG while maintaining effect quality - ideal for website optimization and social media. All face detection and effect processing happens client-side in your browser, ensuring complete privacy as your photos never leave your device.
