How to use the face blur

Open Face blur. You should not see See this look, Waiting Ns, or Get the HD, no watermark. Those belong to looks. If a credit price is on the screen, you opened a hairstyle or a face edit by mistake.

/looks/photo-privacy/face-blur/face-blur-help-desktop.webp is the desktop screenshot of the working blur tool: a local photo with pixel blocks on the faces, rectangle handles, and a download control, with no upload progress to a server. /looks/photo-privacy/face-blur/face-blur-help-mobile.webp is the same tool at 390 pixels wide, blocks and the drag handles stacked so a phone can still reach a second face. These screenshots of the interface were captured from the working page. They are not a cloud before-and-after.

The file picker reads JPEG, PNG, or WebP into the page. HEIC is converted in the browser to JPEG for the canvas, still without an upload. Nothing is posted, so the 8 MB look limit and the 256-pixel server check are not a billing gate here. A very large file can still fail to decode in the tab. Export a smaller JPEG if the canvas stays blank. That failure costs nothing because nothing was charged.

There is no "This is me and I am 18 or older" step and no model confirm. If the browser has FaceDetector, it may draft rectangles. Treat them as a draft. Otherwise drag a rectangle from hairline to chin, ear to ear, glasses included. Group photos need several boxes. The blur itself is the run: pixel blocks on the regions you commit. There is no Waiting Ns status, because no job was queued.

There is no watermarked 800-pixel proof and no diagonal EASYFACE mark on this result. The canvas is the result. Zoom it. If you can still name the person, the blocks are too fine or the box missed the mouth. Hair can remain. A soft cinematic blur is not what this tool draws. Adding another box does not spend a look credit.

There is no HD paywall. Download writes the blurred image from the browser onto the device. Do not look for Get the HD, no watermark. Prices on Pricing apply to looks, not to this canvas. Nothing was generated remotely, so a failure here does not refund a credit. It also does not delete a server copy. The photo was never stored. Look retention for actual looks is described in How photos are handled. Post the downloaded blurred file, not the original still sitting in the camera roll.

The detector misses profiles, small faces, and people looking down. Draw the missing box. A box that stops at the eyebrows leaves a recognizable mouth. If the image will not decode, it is a local memory or format problem, not a model-key failure and not a declined card. Reload from a smaller JPEG. Count heads at the edges before you trust the download. Looks you still want, such as a haircut, stay on their own pages and still follow the adult checkbox when you run them.
