Faces — automatic detection
Detected faces appear as selectable cards under the photo. Tap to cover, tap again to unhide, and tune the strength slider while you look at the result.
Product overview
A darkroom for photo privacy
Blur Photo is one editor with three covering tools, a before/after compare and export controls that keep the original photo untouched.
The editor
Three tools, one job: hide what should stay private.
Everything happens in a single darkroom-style editor. Pick faces, swap cover styles, paint by hand — then compare and export.
Cover — styles and strength
Cover styles handle the look — pixelate or mosaic — and the strength slider decides how far it goes. Pro users can save a preferred style as a preset.
Brush — freehand control
Paint over anything that isn't a face. The brush is also the fallback when detection finds nothing: 'No faces found. Use Brush to cover an area.'
Compare — before and after
A slider between the original and the edited photo answers the only question that matters before sharing: what exactly did I hide?
Export — your copy, your settings
Choose resolution, JPEG or PNG, quality, and whether to strip location data. The export is saved as a new copy; the original is preserved.
Batch Pro — many photos, one style
Select several photos, apply a style to the ones you pick, review each photo before export, and save the batch with a clear results list.
