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.
