How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload a clear, front-facing portrait. Good lighting on the face and visible facial features give the AI the best foundation for face editing. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Single face: 15-20 seconds. Multiple faces or specific selection: may need one refinement.

  2. Describe which face to blur

    Type your instruction: 'blur the face in this photo' for a single face, or 'blur the face of the person on the right' for groups. The AI understands positions like 'left,' 'right,' 'background,' and descriptions like 'the person in the red shirt.'

    Tip: Specify blur intensity if it matters: 'apply a strong blur' for complete anonymity or 'apply a subtle blur' to obscure while keeping context.

    Try This →
    Heavy blur for complete anonymity apply a strong heavy blur to the face making it completely unrecognizable, no features visible
    Try This →

  3. Generate and review

    Tap generate and check that the correct face is blurred. Verify the blur looks natural and covers the entire face including distinctive features like hair near the face.

  4. Use markers if the AI picked the wrong face

    If the wrong face got blurred in a group photo, tap a marker directly on the face you want blurred and regenerate. Markers help when descriptions alone are ambiguous.

    Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS face specifically.' Use them for group photos where position descriptions might be unclear.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Privacy & Compliance

Blur face to protect privacy, comply with regulations, and keep sensitive information safe before sharing photos.

Common Scenarios

  • Blurring face in photos before posting to social media or a public website
  • Protecting face in images shared in legal, medical, or educational contexts
  • Meeting GDPR or privacy requirements by obscuring face in published content

Best Practices

  • Mark the face precisely — a tight selection gives a cleaner blur than a broad one
  • Use a Gaussian-style blur for a natural look rather than pixelation, which can look dated
  • Double-check the result at full zoom to confirm face is completely unreadable
Blur face in this photo so it's completely unreadable while the rest stays sharp
Apply a natural-looking blur to face for privacy protection

Content Creation & Publishing

Prepare photos for blogs, news articles, and social media by blurring face that shouldn't be identifiable.

Common Scenarios

  • Blurring face in street photography before publishing in an article or portfolio
  • Obscuring face in screenshots or photos for a tutorial or how-to guide
  • Protecting face in event photos shared on a company blog or newsletter

Best Practices

  • Apply just enough blur to anonymize without making the photo look obviously censored
  • If multiple face instances appear, mark and blur each one individually for best results
  • For editorial use, a softer blur looks more professional than heavy pixelation
Blur every face in this photo for an article — keep the rest of the image crisp and editorial

Real Estate & Business

Blur face in property listings, business photos, and commercial imagery for security and professionalism.

Common Scenarios

  • Obscuring face in property listing photos to protect homeowner privacy
  • Blurring face in office or storefront photos before publishing online
  • Protecting face in construction or project documentation shared with clients

Best Practices

  • Process all listing photos consistently — the same blur strength and style across the set
  • Blur face thoroughly — real estate photos are scrutinized closely by potential buyers
  • Run a final check by downloading the full-res image to confirm the blur holds at all zoom levels

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area or blurred the wrong face

Why: With multiple faces, the AI may not correctly identify which one you meant from description alone. Positional words can be ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the face you want blurred, then regenerate with 'blur this marked face'
Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS face specifically.' Use them for any group photo where position descriptions might be unclear.

Blur looks unnatural or pixelated

Why: The AI applied a different blur style than expected. Some blur types look more artificial than others.

Try: blur the face with a smooth natural gaussian blur, soft edges blending into surrounding area
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'gaussian' and 'smooth' produces the most natural-looking privacy blur.

Face not fully covered—features still recognizable

Why: The blur wasn't strong enough or didn't extend to hair and ears which can be identifying.

Try: apply a strong heavy blur covering the entire face including hairline and ears, completely unrecognizable
Try This →

Tip: For true anonymity, specify 'completely unrecognizable' to ensure adequate coverage.

Blur extends beyond the face onto background

Why: The AI included too much area around the face. This happens when the face boundary isn't clear.

Try: blur only the face itself with precise edges, keep the background and hair sharp
Try This →

Tip: Adding 'precise edges' tells the AI to be careful about where the blur stops.

Quick answers

How specific should my prompt be to get a good AI Face Blurrer result on the first try?

One sentence is usually enough: 'Blur face — describe what you want in the prompt.' If the first result is off, refine with details — color, position, lighting, or what to keep. Each pass takes 20-45 seconds and runs separately, so you can compare. Free first edit per week, no signup.

Can I blur multiple faces at once?

Yes. Type 'blur all faces in this photo' to blur everyone. To blur specific people, describe them: 'blur the faces of the two people in the background.' For complex selections, you may need to make multiple passes or use markers on each face you want blurred.

Will this blur meet GDPR or privacy law requirements?

EditThisPic applies a strong visual blur that makes faces unrecognizable. For legal compliance, use 'completely unrecognizable' in your prompt and verify the result at full resolution. Legal requirements vary by jurisdiction—consult a legal professional for specific compliance questions.

Can I blur just the eyes instead of the whole face?

Yes. Type 'blur only the eyes, keeping the rest of the face visible' or 'add a black bar over the eyes.' The AI understands partial face concealment and can target specific features while leaving others clear.

Is EditThisPic's AI face blurrer really free?

Yes — you get 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $4.99/month for 15 edits.

Can I blur face on my phone?

Yes. EditThisPic works in any mobile browser — iPhone, Android, tablet. No app download needed.

What photo formats does the AI face blurrer support?

JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Upload any common photo format and EditThisPic handles the rest.

How long does it take to blur face?

Usually 15-30 seconds. Upload your photo, describe what you want, and the AI delivers the result.

How much does EditThisPic cost?

You get 1 free edit per week — no account needed. After that, credit packs start at $1.99 for 3 edits. Monthly plans start at $4.99/mo for 15 edits with unused credits rolling over. All edits are full resolution with no watermark.
