Blur faces in a photo
Publish a photo without identifying the people in it. Faces are found automatically and blurred in a single pass, which is far quicker than masking each one by hand.

Frequently asked questions
Can the blur be reversed?
No. The pixels are destroyed rather than covered, so the original faces cannot be recovered from the download.
What if a face is missed?
Detection struggles with faces in profile, heavily shadowed or very small. Check the result before publishing.
