How it works for faces.

  1. Drop the photo

    JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC — up to 20 MB. Sent directly to encrypted storage, never to a third-party server.

  2. Faces appear, outlined

    AWS Rekognition finds every face with a tight bounding box. You see them as outlined regions on the canvas. Toggle any off.

  3. Choose your blur, export

    Gaussian, pixelate, solid fill, or color overlay. Live preview. Download with EXIF and GPS metadata stripped.

Questions, honestly answered.

How accurate is the face detection?
Very. AWS Rekognition's DetectFaces returns a tight bounding box and 27 landmarks per face with confidence usually >99% on clear front-facing portraits. Side profiles and crowd scenes are weaker — the editor lets you draw a region manually when that happens.
Can I use this for kids' photos before posting?
That's one of the most common use cases. Drop the photo, every face is highlighted, blur the ones you want hidden, leave the rest, export. No account, no record of the photo after an hour.
Does Blurify store the faces it detects?
No. We never store face descriptors, embeddings, or any biometric data. The bounding boxes live in your browser tab only. The image itself is auto-deleted from S3 within an hour.
Will the blur survive screenshot un-blurring tools?
Yes — we apply a destructive Sharp-pixel blur to the final JPG, not a reversible CSS filter. Once exported, the original pixels in the blurred region are mathematically replaced.

Try it. Your photo never leaves your hand.

Free, anonymous, deleted within an hour. No account to sign up for.
