About the face blur tool

Blurring faces protects the privacy of people in your photos before you share them. Drag over any face or sensitive area to blur or pixelate it — add as many regions as you need. Everything happens on your device, so the original image is never uploaded.

This is useful for sharing photos of crowds, children, bystanders, or any document with personal details. Pixelate gives a blocky censor look; blur gives a softer smudge. Both make the area unrecognizable.

Frequently asked

Is the blur reversible?
No — once you download, the blurred area is permanently flattened into the image, so the original detail can't be recovered from the saved file.

Are my photos uploaded?
Never. The tool runs entirely in your browser; images stay on your device.

  3. Download. Save the protected image — processed privately in your browser.

Why blur faces?

Blurring or pixelating faces protects the privacy of bystanders and minors before you share a photo publicly — important for social media, news, and event pictures. It is also useful for anonymizing screenshots and documents. Because ImgScale works in your browser, the original unblurred photo never leaves your device, which matters when the whole point is privacy.
