Face Blur — How It Works

Browser-based face anonymization — no app install.

Why teams use Face Blur

Face Blur replaces manual face masking with detection that runs across every frame. Upload interview, vlog, or crowd footage, confirm the preview, and export media that hides identities without destroying the story.

Face Blur is especially useful for repeat review cycles — same rules, many files.
