How to Blur Faces or Censor Eyes in Photos (Free, Private)

Blur faces or censor eyes in photos before sharing. Detect faces automatically, anonymise in bulk, and strip location data – free and fully private.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image data private?

Yes. All face detection and censoring runs locally in your browser. Your images are never sent to any server.

What is the Eye Bar option?

Instead of two separate shapes over each eye, Eye Bar draws one wide bar across both eyes — the classic newspaper-style anonymisation look.

How many faces can be censored per image?

Up to 10 faces are detected and censored per image.

Why does it take a moment the first time?

The MediaPipe model (about 8 MB) is downloaded once and then cached by your browser, so later visits load instantly.

Can I batch-process multiple images?

Yes. Upload as many images as you like, navigate them with the thumbnail strip, and download all as a ZIP.

What does Coverage Padding do?

It adds extra space around each detected eye. Increase it if eyes aren't fully covered; reduce it for a tighter fit.
