Uses a face detection model running in your browser via WebAssembly to locate each face, then applies a classic pixelation effect (shrink and enlarge without smoothing) only within that area.

Use cases

  • Anonymizing faces before publishing an event photo.
  • Protecting minors' identity in photos shared online.
  • Pixelating background faces in a street photo before sharing it.

    Move the control for finer or stronger pixelation, instantly.

Frequently asked questions

Does it detect every face in a group?

It detects reasonably visible, front-facing or semi-profile faces. Very small, tightly profiled, or heavily obscured faces can be missed — always check the result before sharing the photo.

What if it detects no faces?

Try a photo where the face is clearer and better lit. If the problem persists, this tool isn't reliable for that kind of image.
