Blur faces in many photos

Select a set of photos and choose once what every covering has to destroy. Each face the on-device finder proposes is covered to that floor, and each row reports what was measured on the file it wrote.

Drop a picture in,

Select several photos at once, or drop a selection here. Each one is opened, covered and measured in this tab, one after another.

Every face the finder proposes is covered to the same floor, and every row reports what was measured on the file it wrote.

One floor, measured per file

On one picture you choose a covering and look at it. Across forty, nobody looks — so the choice here is the floor every covering must reach without being watched, and the report is what was measured on each file after it was written: the size of the cells, the detail left inside them, whether each face box sat fully inside its covering, and what metadata came out.

Pressing the button fetches the face finder once — 224 KB — and then it runs on this device for every photo. No photo leaves the tab.

How a run goes

  • Choose the photos, then the floor: Solid fill, or Mosaic with a number of blocks across each face.
  • Choose the shape (ellipse or rectangle) and the format to save as.
  • Press Cover. Each photo is opened, its faces found and covered, the file written and then read back.
  • Save the ones you want one at a time, or all of them as a ZIP.

When another mode is better

For one photo, or anything other than faces — plates, text, documents — open it on the photo redactor, where you can see and correct every region. For a single group photo, blur face in a photo lets you check each proposal before saving.

Limits, stated plainly

  • Faces only. Plates and text are not found in a folder run.
  • There is no per-photo review step yet: check any photo where the row says nothing was found.
  • Small, turned or half-hidden faces are the ones the finder misses.

Questions about blurring faces in many photos

How many photos can I do at once?
As many as you select. They are opened one after another in this tab, so a long list takes longer rather than failing; a file the browser cannot read becomes one line in the list and the rest carry on.
What is the floor?
The least the covering has to achieve on every face, chosen once for the whole set: a solid fill, which leaves nothing, or a mosaic with at least the number of blocks across each face that you set. The block size is solved per face, in that photo's own pixels, so a small face and a large one get the same protection.
What if the finder misses a face?
Then that face is not covered, and the row says the finder proposed nothing or fewer faces than you expect. A folder run cannot look at every picture for you: open any photo it is unsure about on its own, on the face page, and draw over what it missed.
Does it remove the location from every photo?
Yes. Each photo is drawn again from its pixels, which leaves every metadata block behind. Each row lists what the original carried and what the same reader found in the output.
