Why Blur Faces in Videos?
Video footage captures real people in real moments — and that creates real privacy risks. Whether you're recording at a public event, filming street scenes, or sharing a clip from a family gathering, the faces visible in your video can identify individuals without their consent. Blurring faces before you publish is a simple act of digital responsibility. Modern privacy regulations like GDPR in Europe and CCPA in California place legal obligations on anyone who publishes identifiable footage of individuals — especially in commercial or professional contexts.
How It Works: 100% In Your Browser
Unlike cloud video editors that require you to upload your footage to a remote server, this tool processes everything locally using the WebCodecs API and MediaPipe AI — two technologies built directly into your browser. Your video is decoded frame-by-frame on your own device, faces are detected using on-device AI, the blur is applied, and the processed video is assembled — all without a single byte leaving your device. Your footage is never stored, logged, or accessible by anyone other than you.
Works on iPhone, Android, and Desktop
The tool handles the most common recording formats: H.264 MP4 (used by most Android phones, webcams, and screen recorders) and HEVC/H.265 MOV (the default format on iPhone and iPad). If your device or browser doesn't support a particular codec, the tool provides a clear explanation and a simple fix — such as switching iPhone camera settings to Most Compatible to record in H.264.

Frequently Asked Questions

The editing pipeline is designed to decode and process supported video in the browser rather than send the source video to a Blur Face processing server. You can inspect the browser Network panel during a test session.
Support depends on the codec, not only the filename extension. The current workflow targets H.264 video in MP4 or compatible MOV containers; HEVC/H.265 and other codecs may need conversion.
No. Faces can be missed because of motion, pose, occlusion, lighting, scale, or scene changes. Review the full output frame by frame when identification could cause harm.
