Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose between Gaussian blur and pixelation (mosaic) effects?

Yes! Toggle between smooth Gaussian blur and retro pixelation/mosaic blocks, adjusting the intensity slider to guarantee full anonymity.

Can I blur vehicle license plates and ID card numbers?

Yes, draw custom blur boxes over car number plates, street signs, house numbers, or credit card digits.

Is the blurred area permanently baked into the image?

Yes, pixel values inside the blur region are irreversibly blended on the canvas. The original underlying face or text cannot be recovered from the downloaded file.

Is my photo uploaded to any server during face blurring?

Never. All image processing runs 100% locally in your browser memory for total privacy.
