Blur faces and name tags in Zoom recordings

Gallery grid layouts mean tiny faces and lower bitrates. Upload the MP4 Zoom provides—not just the audio-only M4A.

Name tags and lower-thirds need text-aware workflows; pair face blur with prompt or manual text regions.

For webinars, decide whether Q&A banners reveal PII before publishing.

Capture tips

Export at original resolution; re-encoding upward does not restore plate detail but can add artifacts.

Upload a clip and preview automatic face, plate, background, or prompt-based blur—no keyframes or nested timelines.
