FAQs about Blurring Faces in Images
The tool supports common web image formats: JPG/JPEG, PNG, GIF and WebP. Large images are auto-scaled for preview; the original resolution is preserved for download.
No. All processing happens in your browser - your images are never uploaded to any server. Your privacy is completely protected.
Yes! Draw as many blur rectangles as you need. You can blur multiple faces, backgrounds, or any areas you want to anonymize. All areas will have the same blur intensity.
Hover over a rectangle to select it (it will turn red). Then drag the edges or corners to resize it. Drag the center of the rectangle to move it to a different position.
For privacy protection, we recommend using a blur intensity of at least 20-30 pixels. Higher values (40-50) provide stronger anonymization. The slider allows you to adjust the blur strength based on your needs.
The downloaded image is saved as a PNG file, which preserves the image quality without compression. This ensures your blurred image looks sharp and clear.
Double-click on any blur rectangle to delete it. You can also click on a rectangle to select it (it will turn red), then draw new rectangles elsewhere or adjust existing ones.
