Review faces before publishing.

Start with the publishing decision

Consider who appears in the frame, whether they agreed to public sharing, and whether the image needs to be published at all. Editing one picture cannot address every risk created by a public post. A careful review of the scene is essential.

Use opaque coverage when detail matters

Block replaces the covered rectangle with a solid fill in the exported image. Blur and pixelation retain transformed visual detail; do not treat either as a guarantee against identification. Extend coverage when a box leaves facial features visible.

Inspect more than faces

Tattoos, distinctive clothing, signs, companions and landmarks can still reveal identity or place. Review the edges and background, and add manual boxes where appropriate. A redacted face does not make the remaining scene anonymous.

Keep the public copy separate

Download a new copy without the original metadata and verify it before publishing. If you need the original for documentation, keep it separately with access limited to the intended people. BlurFaces edits still photos; it does not process video or secure your original storage.

How to use this tool

1. Decide whether the photo should be published and whose details need covering.
2. Open it locally and select Block for opaque rectangular coverage.
3. Review all faces, reflections and other identifiers; add or resize boxes as needed.
4. Export a separate copy and check the image and accompanying text before publication.
