Why teams use Face Redaction API
Face Redaction API 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 Redaction API when manual masking becomes the bottleneck in their publishing calendar.
