Solid black box, not a soft blur

Solid black box, not a soft blur

Our redact ai covers every detected face with a fully opaque black box, so the underlying identity can never be recovered from the export, unlike a Gaussian blur that can sometimes be reversed.

Redact every face automatically

Redact every face automatically

No manual box-drawing. Upload a photo and our redaction software finds every face, even in a crowd, and redacts it in one pass, so group shots and street photos get fully covered in seconds.

Keep the rest of the image visible

Keep the rest of the image visible

Only detected faces are redacted. The rest of the photo, location, context, other objects, stays visible, so the redacted image is still useful for records, reports, or publishing.
