Anonymize a Photo Before Sharing It

One pass checks everything you may not want to share.

Faces, license plates, GPS and private metadata. Reviewed locally in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1

    Choose your photo

    Open the image you plan to share publicly or with a wider audience. JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF are supported.

  2. 2

    Review faces, plates and metadata

    Inspect automatic detections and the private-data summary, then adjust anything that still looks identifiable.

  3. 3

    Download a protected copy

    Export with rewritten pixels and stripped privacy-sensitive metadata.

Use cases

  • Social media posts
  • Marketplace and classified listings
  • Press and blog imagery
  • Internal reports with customer scenes
  • Travel photos with bystanders and cars

Privacy

Your photo stays on your device. Pixhide processes images directly in your browser. The original image, detected areas and exported file are not sent to our servers.

Limits

Automatic detection may miss small, partially hidden or heavily blurred faces and plates. Always review the highlighted areas before downloading. Supported formats are JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC and HEIF. HEIC opens in your browser (Safari may decode natively; other browsers use a local converter loaded only when needed). Downloads are JPG, PNG or WebP. Batch mode can protect up to 20 images at once in your browser. There is no account quota: after one batch finishes, you can start another whenever you like. The limit is per selection, not per day, and nothing is stored as a remote counter.

FAQ

What does anonymize a photo mean here?
One pass checks faces, license plates, and privacy-sensitive metadata so you can review everything you may not want to share.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Detection models load only after you select a file, and processing stays in the browser.
Can I leave some faces or plates visible?
Yes. Toggle Protect per detection or turn off a whole category before export.
Does Pixhide remove GPS data?
Yes. GPS and related EXIF fields are stripped when metadata removal is enabled on download.
Will detection catch everything?
No. Always review highlights and use manual redaction for anything missed.
Is Pixhide free?
Yes. Anonymize photos online with no account and no watermark. Batch mode covers up to 20 images per selection; when a batch finishes you can start another.
