Frequently Asked Questions

How much blur do I need to hide faces?

For effective face anonymization, use a blur amount of 10px or higher. The higher the blur value, the less recognizable the face becomes.

Can I blur only part of an image?

Yes. Choose Custom area and drag directly on the After image, or enter precise X, Y, width, and height percentages.

What type of blur does this tool use?

We use Gaussian blur, which creates a smooth, natural-looking blur effect similar to looking through frosted glass.
