How to blur faces and number plates in a photo

1 November 2026

Before you post a photo of a street, a crowd or a car for sale, you may want to hide faces and number plates.

Steps

  • Open Blur Face and add your photo.
  • Drag over each face or plate. In some browsers, Find faces marks faces for you.
  • Choose Blur or Pixelate and the strength, then check the preview.
  • Download the blurred picture.

Tips

  • Pixelate hides detail more strongly than blur. Use a high strength on small plates.
  • Blurred areas are changed in the saved file, so the detail cannot be brought back from it.
  • Keep your original photo in a safe place in case you need it.
