Face Blur SDK for Engineering Teams

Integrate Face Blur SDK into your app, DAM, or review queue.

Why teams use Face Blur SDK

Face Blur SDK moves blur out of the browser and into your backend. Authenticate, POST media jobs, and pull redacted assets into the same pipelines you use for transcoding and storage.

Teams adopt Face Blur SDK when manual masking becomes the bottleneck in their publishing calendar.

Face Blur SDK — FAQ

Faces, plates, and general sensitive regions depending on the endpoint you call.

Is Face Blur SDK free to try?

API pricing depends on volume. Start with developer docs and sample jobs before production rollout.

Do I need professional editing software?

BGBlur processes files for the editing session with privacy-first handling. Media is not published as permanent public assets.
