How to use this tool
Detect or draw regions
Run local face detection for editable suggestions, then add rectangle, ellipse, or brush regions for anything it missed.
Review and export
Check the complete image, choose Blur, Pixelate, or Solid Redaction per region, then export from the original pixels.
02
Built for predictable results
Local face suggestions
The detector loads only after you click and suggests editable regions without identifying people or uploading the image.
Manual precision
Move, resize, delete, or supplement every suggestion; plates, text, reflections, and missed faces remain your review responsibility.
True solid redaction
Solid regions replace the exported pixels rather than hiding a recoverable layer.
03
Frequently asked questions
Does automatic detection find every face?
No. Small, distant, side-facing, occluded, or reflected faces can be missed. Review the full image and add manual regions.
Is solid redaction permanent?
It replaces the selected output pixels with a color. Keep the original private, and inspect the exported copy before sharing.
Should I blur a password?
No. Use Solid Redaction for passwords, account numbers, identity numbers, and similarly sensitive text.
Does the tool upload my image?
No. Supported images, face suggestions, and edits stay in the browser session.
