How it works

Upload your photo

Drop your image into EditThisPic. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB. Works with any photo containing faces - portraits, groups, crowd shots, or street photography.

Expect: Single face blur: 10-15 seconds. Multiple faces or crowd: 15-25 seconds.
Describe which faces to blur

Type 'blur all faces' for everyone, 'blur faces in the background' for specific areas, or 'blur the person on the right' for individuals. The AI automatically detects faces - no manual marking needed unless you want to be very specific.

Tip: For selective blurring, use positions: 'blur the two people on the left' or 'blur everyone except the person in front'

If something looks off

AI blurred the wrong person or missed a face

Why: The AI might not distinguish between people correctly when they're overlapping or descriptions are ambiguous.

Try: Tap a marker directly on the specific face you want blurred, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers are perfect for targeting specific faces when 'left' and 'right' descriptions aren't precise enough.

Blur is too weak or faces are still recognizable

Why: The default blur strength balances privacy with maintaining the photo's overall composition.

Try: Add 'heavily' to your prompt: 'heavily blur all faces' for stronger privacy protection

Try This →

Tip: Heavy blur makes recognition impossible but may look more obvious in the photo.

Blur extended beyond the face to hair or shoulders

Why: The AI's face detection region includes some surrounding area to ensure full coverage.

Try: Request precise blur: 'blur only the facial features, not the hair' for tighter masking

Try This →

Tip: Face-only blur looks more natural but requires clear face detection.

AI changed the wrong area or something I didn't want changed

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from description alone. This happens with ambiguous requests.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to change, then regenerate with the same prompt

Try This →

Tip: Markers tell the AI 'I mean THIS one specifically.' Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Quick answers

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.

Is there a free face blur tool that doesn't require signup?

Yes - EditThisPic's Face Blur tool is completely free to try with no account needed. Upload your photo, describe which faces to blur, and download your privacy-protected image in seconds. No watermarks, no registration.

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.
