How to blur a face or remove a spot

  1. Drop the photo
  2. Pick Blur area or Pixelate area and drag a box over the face, plate or screen (oval looks natural on faces)

  4. Tap Undo if a step looks wrong
  5. Download the JPG or PNG

Good to know

  • Privacy: blurring kids’ faces or strangers before posting is the main use, and nothing leaves your device.
  • Spot remover: it fills the painted area from its surroundings, so it is great for small things on skin, sky, walls or grass, and poor for large objects in busy scenes.
  • Pixelate hides better than blur for text like number plates.

Frequently asked questions

Small objects yes; a whole person in a detailed scene no. That needs a large inpainting model, which is on our list for when phones can run it.

Is the face blur reversible?

Not from the saved file. Keep your original.

Is it free?

Yes.
