What is Face Blur Tool?

Face Blur Tool lets you paint blur over specific faces or private regions in a photo - everything else stays perfectly sharp. Drag rectangles across each face and download an anonymized copy in seconds.

Who is Face Blur Tool for?

Journalists protecting sources, teachers sharing classroom photos, HR teams anonymizing team pictures, and anyone posting group photos while respecting privacy.

Why use Face Blur Tool?

  • Precise per-region blur, not the whole image.
  • Adjustable blur strength from 5 to 50 pixels.
  • Add unlimited regions per photo.
  • Runs 100% in your browser.

When should you use Face Blur Tool?

Publishing group photos on a public blog, sharing classroom or event pictures, redacting bystanders from tutorials, or protecting the identity of interview subjects.

Is Face Blur Tool safe?

All processing runs locally - sensitive photos never touch our servers.

Tips for best results

  • Draw slightly larger than the face so hair edges stay hidden.
  • Use higher blur (30+) for full anonymity.
  • Combine with Image Optimizer before publishing.
  • Blur license plates and screens with the same tool.

Frequently asked questions

Does it detect faces looking sideways?

Frontal and 3/4 profile faces are detected reliably. Full side profiles and very small faces may need manual blurring - use the brush tool to add extra blur where needed.

Is my image uploaded to a server?

No. Every ImageEditPro tool processes your image directly inside your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API. Files never leave your device, so your photos stay 100% private - even when you're editing sensitive documents or personal photos.

Is it really free? Any watermark or signup?

Yes, completely free. No account, no sign-up, no watermark, no daily limit. ImageEditPro is supported by unobtrusive ads so you can use every tool as many times as you need without paying.
