Do I need to mark faces before blurring them?
No! Just describe which faces to blur: 'blur all faces' or 'blur the person on the left.' The AI automatically detects faces and applies blur. Only use markers if you need to target a specific face that's hard to describe by position.
Can I blur some faces while keeping others clear?
Absolutely. Use selective descriptions like 'blur all faces except the person in the center' or 'blur the two people on the left, keep the right person clear.' The AI understands positional instructions.
Is the face blur permanent or can it be reversed?
The blur is permanent in the downloaded image. Once faces are blurred, the original facial details cannot be recovered from the blurred photo. This ensures genuine privacy protection for public sharing.
Is EditThisPic's AI face blurrer really free?
Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. For unlimited edits, plans start at $3.99/month.
Can I blur face on my phone?
Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.
Is my photo kept private when I blur face?
Yes. Your photo is processed in real-time by the AI and is not stored on our servers after editing. No account is required to use the tool, and we don't collect or share your images. Your original file stays on your device.
How does EditThisPic compare to FaceApp for blurring face?
EditThisPic uses AI that understands natural language, so you describe the edit you want instead of using complex tools. It works instantly in your browser with no software to install or learn. For blurring face, you simply type what you want and the AI handles the rest in 20-45 seconds.
What's the most common use case for blurring face?
Most users blur face for social media content, professional work, or personal projects. The AI handles both simple and creative edits, so whether you need a quick fix or an artistic transformation, you can describe exactly what you want in plain English.
Can I blur face for multiple photos at once?
Currently, EditThisPic processes one photo at a time for the best AI results. Upload each photo individually and use the same prompt — the process takes about 20-45 seconds per image. For large batches, a paid plan gives you unlimited edits without waiting.
What makes a good photo for blurring face?
Well-lit photos with clear subjects produce the best results. Avoid heavily compressed or very small images. Front-facing angles typically work better than extreme side angles. The AI can work with most photos, but higher quality input means higher quality output.
What types of photos work best with this tool?
JPG, PNG, and WebP photos up to 7MB work best. The AI handles photos from any camera or phone. High-resolution images with good lighting produce the best results. Extremely dark, heavily compressed, or very small images may produce less precise edits.
Can I also smooth the skin in the same edit?
Yes! You can combine multiple edits in one prompt. For example, ask to blur face and smooth the skin at the same time. The AI understands complex multi-step instructions. For very different changes, separate prompts may give better control over each edit.
