Frequently asked questions
How is this different from "Pixelate Face"?
Same detection engine; here the effect is a soft blur instead of blocky pixelation. It's a matter of style — the level of anonymity is similar.
Does it detect every face in a group?
It detects reasonably visible, front-facing or semi-profile faces. Always check the result before sharing the photo.
