Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about using Face Blurring for image and video editing, privacy protection, export quality, and browser-based AI workflows.

What is face blurring?

Can I blur faces in videos?

Yes. Our AI processes videos frame-by-frame, tracking faces throughout the clip for consistent blurring. Works with videos up to 4K resolution.

How accurate is the face detection?

Our AI achieves 99% face detection accuracy. It identifies faces at various angles, lighting conditions, and even with partial obstructions like sunglasses or hats.

Is Face Blurring good for privacy protection?

Yes. It is built for privacy-first editing tasks such as hiding sensitive details, reducing identifiable information, and preparing content before it is shared publicly, with clients, or inside a team.

Do I need professional editing software?

No. BGBlur runs in the browser, so you do not need a desktop video editor, plugin setup, or complex timeline workflow for common AI blur and privacy edits.

Will Face Blurring keep my export quality clear?

The goal is to keep the important parts of your image or video visible while applying the selected privacy or blur effect only where it is needed. Final quality can depend on the uploaded file and export settings.

Can I review the result before downloading?

Yes. You should review the AI result before export, especially for crowded scenes, fast motion, low light, reflections, small objects, or footage with partial occlusion.

Who uses Face Blurring?

Creators, marketers, educators, journalists, real estate teams, automotive teams, compliance reviewers, and social media editors use BGBlur tools to prepare safer publish-ready media faster.

Does Face Blurring work on mobile and desktop?

BGBlur is web-based, so it is designed for modern browsers on desktop and mobile devices. Larger video files are usually easier to review and export from a desktop browser.

What should I check before publishing?

Check every sensitive frame or image area, confirm the blur or mask covers the intended subject, preview the final export, and keep an original backup if you may need to revise the edit later.
