What is Face Blur Tool?
Sometimes you want to share a photo but one part of it should not be visible. It could be a face in the background, a car plate, a home address on a document, or someone's name on a form. This tool lets you cover those areas quickly without any software to install.
Upload your photo, draw a box or oval over the area you want to hide, and choose how you want it covered. Blur gives a soft, out-of-focus look. Pixelate turns the area into large blocks. Solid fill covers it with a flat color like black or white. You can add as many regions as you need, adjust the strength of each one separately, and move them around if needed.
Everything runs in your browser. Your photos are never sent anywhere. Once you are happy with the result, download the image as PNG, JPG, or WebP, or copy it straight to your clipboard to paste elsewhere.
