Blur Faces in Photos Online
Automatically detect and hide faces in group photos, events, and street scenes.
Anonymize faces privately in your browser — no account, upload, or watermark.
How it works
-
1
Upload your photo
Open a JPG, PNG, or WebP. Detection starts only after you choose a file.
-
2
Review detected faces
Check every highlight. Leave some faces visible or adjust boxes for hair, hoods, and profile shots.
-
3
Download a protected copy
Face pixels are rewritten permanently before the file is saved.
Before & after
Faces were detected and permanently pixelated. No image was uploaded to a server.
Use cases
- Family and school event photos
- Street photography
- Workplace and conference shots
- News and documentary stills
- Social posts where bystanders appear
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.
FAQ
- Is Pixhide free?
- Yes. You can blur faces online without an account and download a protected copy without a watermark.
- Are my photos uploaded?
- No. Face detection and redaction run in your browser. We never receive your file.
- Can I select which faces remain visible?
- Yes. Turn off Protect for an individual face, or disable face protection entirely after review.
- Does automatic face blur find everyone?
- Small, side-facing, distant, or partly covered faces can be missed. Zoom in, adjust boxes, or add a manual cover.
- Is blur or pixelation better for privacy?
- Strong pixelation is usually safer than soft Gaussian blur, which can sometimes be reversed. Use /pixelate-face if you want pixelation locked as the default.
- Does it work on iPhone and Android?
- Yes in modern mobile browsers. Large group photos may take a little longer on slower devices.
