Privacy Blur
Detect faces and licence plates only on request, correct every region, and apply blur or pixelation without turning an empty result into guessed boxes.
Privacy Blur follows a detect, review, then apply workflow. Detection proposes editable boxes; it never changes pixels by itself.
Detection and first-use assets
Select face detection, licence-plate detection, or both, then press Detect selected categories. Faces can fetch approximately 15 MB on first use: about 10.6 MB of MediaPipe WASM, 0.3 MB of JavaScript, and the 3.76 MB face task. Licence plates add an approximately 81 MB pinned RT-DETRv2 ONNX model and may also need uncached shared ONNX Runtime assets. The browser caches these files. Drawing manual regions requires no detector download.
A successful scan that finds nothing stays empty and reports Nothing was detected. It does not fall through to a skin-tone or high-contrast heuristic that invents boxes. If a detector is unavailable, a clearly labelled classical fallback may propose regions, and those proposals still require review.
Correct every region
Drag to add or edit a box, remove a proposal, or enter exact x, y, width, and height values. Exact fields are also the keyboard-operable alternative to pointer editing. Check reflections, small background faces, angled plates, screenshots, names, badges, and any other identifying detail the automatic categories do not cover.
Blur versus pixelation
Blur softens local pixels; pixelation replaces them with larger blocks. Neither setting guarantees anonymity at a weak strength. Inspect the actual delivery size, because a region that looks hidden in a fitted preview can reveal structure when enlarged.
Press Apply reviewed regions only after the complete set is correct. The image editor records the result as one strict undo operation. If the undo snapshot cannot be encoded, the tool refuses the change.
Video privacy
The same tool is available under AI Tools in the Video Editor. Video regions can be tracked and corrected before rendering, and the output preserves audio. Tracking can drift after fast motion, occlusion, or a scene cut, so review the whole timeline rather than only the first frame.
Privacy limits
Faces and plates are only part of identity. Clothing, tattoos, voices, reflections, location context, and embedded metadata can remain identifying. Use Metadata Remover where appropriate and review every exported image or frame.
