Why Use Our Blur Face Tool?
GDPR & Privacy Compliance
Automatically blur faces before publishing photos online or in documents to comply with GDPR, CCPA and other privacy regulations that protect individual identity.

Use a light blur for subtle anonymisation or maximum blur for complete face obscuration. Control the intensity with a simple slider.
