Blur faces in a video before sharing

Before an internal share or a social post, hide only the faces of people who happen to be in the shot, without sending the video anywhere.

Drop a video and start

Steps

  1. Drop the video on "Hide faces or backgrounds". The first time, the face model is fetched once into this browser.
  2. Press "Detect & obscure faces". Every face found is covered with mosaic or blur.
  3. Watch the result from start to end. The AI can miss a face, so tick "I have reviewed" only after that.
  4. Save. The original stays as it is; the protected video is saved separately.

Questions

Is the video uploaded?
No. Detection and blurring run on your computer; press "Network" in the bar to see for yourself.
Are small or side-on faces found?
Some can be missed depending on size and angle. Where a face is lost, the tool covers the whole frame to stay on the safe side. Always watch the result through before sharing.
