How to use the Blur Face
- 01
Open your photo
Select the image. It is loaded straight into the page and is never uploaded anywhere.
- 02
Drag a box over anything private
Draw a rectangle over each face, licence plate, house number, or screen. Add as many as you need, and delete any box you misplace.
- 03
Pick blur, pixelate, or solid, then download
Set the strength and download the PNG at full resolution. The obscured pixels are genuinely replaced, not covered over, and the export contains no EXIF or GPS metadata.
Quick answer: when should you use Blur Face?
Use Imagic AI Blur Face when you need to permanently obscure faces, licence plates, or other private details in a photo. It is best for photos being posted publicly, shared in reports, or attached to listings where bystanders or plates must not be identifiable. It runs entirely in your browser: the image is never uploaded, there is no signup, and no watermark is added.
I zoom to 100% on the exported PNG and confirm no readable edge of the plate or face survives at the boundary of the box. A light blur can still leave a face recognisable, so solid redaction is the safe choice when anonymity actually matters.
Which image tool should you pick?
| Job | Pick this | Why |
|---|---|---|
| photos being posted publicly, shared in reports, or attached to listings where bystanders or plates must not be identifiable | Blur Face | It solves this job directly with the fewest settings. |
| you need to remove an object from the picture entirely rather than obscure it | Image Cropper | That workflow changes a different property of the image. |
| Many files at once | Batch Processor | Batch mode keeps repeated work consistent and exports one ZIP. |
When does Blur Face fail?
- It is not the right first step when you need to remove an object from the picture entirely rather than obscure it.
- For production publishing, inspect the downloaded image at 100% zoom before replacing the original file.
- Because everything runs on your own device, very large images are limited by that device's memory rather than by a server quota.
Frequently asked questions
Is Blur Face free?
Yes, Blur Face is free to use for the core browser-based workflow.
Do I need to create an account for Blur Face?
No, the core image tools work without signup.
What should I check before downloading?
Preview the result, compare edges and text at 100% zoom, and keep the original until the export is verified.
Which tool should I use instead?
Use Image Cropper when your image needs that workflow before or after Blur Face.
Does Blur Face upload my image?
No. The image is processed by your browser on your own device and is never sent to Imagic AI servers.
Does it work offline?
Once the page has loaded, the processing itself needs no network connection because it runs locally.
