How the Face Blur Tool works

From raw footage to publishable media in three steps.

Why editors choose this face blur tool

Manual face masking breaks down the moment someone moves. The Face Blur Tool runs detection on every frame, proposes blur regions automatically, and lets you confirm the result before export. That means interview teams, creators, and compliance reviewers spend minutes — not hours — preparing footage.

Use it when consent is missing, policy requires anonymization, or platform guidelines demand face protection before upload.

Face Blur Tool FAQ

Detection, formats, privacy, and export quality.

Can the Face Blur Tool handle multiple faces?

Yes. The tool detects and tracks multiple faces simultaneously — useful for crowds, panels, and classroom footage.

Does blur follow faces when they move?

Yes. Tracking keeps blur attached through walking, head turns, and camera movement so you do not need to fix slipped frames manually.

Can I blur faces in photos too?

Yes. Upload PNG, JPG, or WebP stills for thumbnails, documents, or social images with the same detection flow.

Is the Face Blur Tool free?

Core face blur is free in the browser. Longer files or batch needs may use premium limits — preview always runs before export.

Will there be a watermark on exports?

Free-tier exports do not include a BGBlur watermark on face-blurred downloads.

How is my upload handled?

Media is processed securely for your editing session and is not kept as a permanent public file on BGBlur.
