What is Blur Faces?
Blur Faces is an AI photo privacy preset that hides visible human faces while keeping the rest of the photo intact.
Use it before posting travel photos, event photos, workplace pictures, classroom-style scenes, street photos, marketplace images, or any image where people in the background should not be identifiable. The preset focuses on face areas and asks the AI to preserve the body, pose, clothing, background, lighting, color, and image framing.
When should you use Blur Faces?
Use Blur Faces when the photo is useful, but one or more faces should not be recognizable in the published image.
It is a better fit than a normal object remover when you want to keep the people in the scene but hide identity. Removing people may change the story of the photo. Blurring faces keeps the context while reducing visible identity details.
What photos work best?
Use a sharp photo where faces are visible and not heavily covered by shadows, sunglasses, masks, or extreme motion blur. Faces near the edge of the frame or very tiny background faces can need a second pass.
For best results, avoid asking the same pass to remove objects, change backgrounds, or retouch skin. Start with face blur, then make other edits separately if needed.
Blur Faces vs Privacy Blur
Use Blur Faces when the main target is human faces.
Use Privacy Blur when the photo also contains sensitive details such as license plates, badges, addresses, phone numbers, screens, shipping labels, or private documents.
FAQ
Can I blur faces in a photo online?
Yes. Upload the image and ClearCrowds opens the editor with Blur Faces selected so you can generate a version with visible faces hidden.
Will it remove the people?
No. The preset asks the AI to keep people, clothing, pose, and scene context while blurring only visible face areas.
Does it blur background faces too?
The prompt targets foreground faces, background faces, reflections, thumbnails, posters, and small partial faces when they are visible.
Can it blur faces in group photos?
Yes. It is useful for group photos, street scenes, event photos, and public-space images where multiple faces need to be hidden.
What if one face is still recognizable?
Run another pass or use a more targeted manual selection if the editor supports it. Very small, angled, or partially covered faces can need extra review.
