Privacy Editor: Pixelate, Blur, and Hide
Three editing tools: Pixelate, Blur, Solid Cover
Automatic face detection with AI (TinyFaceDetector)
100% local processing - your photos never leave the browser
No watermarks, no limits, completely free
# Digital Privacy: How to Protect Your Visual Data
In the era of social media, sharing photos without control can expose sensitive personal data. Our tool allowed you to hide critical information (faces, license plates, names, addresses) before uploading them to the Internet, ensuring that your privacy remains under your full control. 3 Hiding Methods
100% Local Privacy
AI Face Detection
# Three Hiding Methods Explained
Pixelate
Divides the area into squares, impossible to recognize
- Maximum irreversible obfuscation
- More secure against facial recognition
- Visible, clear that something was hidden
- Ideal: faces in public photos
Blur
Gaussian Smoothing - more natural look
- More elegant visual appearance
- Maintains some tone coherence
- Mathematically reversible (theoretically)
- Ideal: less sensitive information
Solid Cover
Opaque color block - maximum privacy
- Visible, obvious hiding
- Maximum legal security/privacy
- Changes visual composition
- Ideal: documents, sensitive data
# Automatic Face Detection with AI
Our tool uses TinyFaceDetector, a compact neural network that runs directly in your browser to identify faces automatically:- 100% Local: The AI model runs on your GPU/CPU, not on remote servers.
- No Internet: After the initial download, it works completely offline.
- Privacy Guaranteed: No one sees the faces: not Google, not OpenAI, nor us.
- Automatic One-Click: Detects faces and lets you choose to hide with one click.
Privacy by Design
By processing images using your browser's local GPU and CPU, we guarantee that original photos never leave your device. Even if you change your mind, nothing was transmitted. This is the maximum standard of digital privacy.
# Privacy Use Cases
| Sensitive Information | Recommended Method | Urgency |
|---|---|---|
| People's faces | Pixelate or Blur | Critical |
| Vehicle license plates | Pixelate (irreversible) | Critical |
| Identity documents | Solid Cover or Pixelate | Critical |
| Written names/addresses | Solid Cover or Pixelate | High |
| Phone numbers | Pixelate or Cover | High |
| Medical information | Solid Cover | Critical |
| Visible WiFi signals | Pixelate | Medium |
Advantages
- Total privacy: 100% local processing, no servers, no storage
- Automatic face detection saves manual time
- Three methods allow choosing security vs aesthetics
- Completely free, no advertising, no limits
Limitations
- Requires modern browser with Canvas and WebGL support
- AI is not perfect - profile or partial faces may not be detected
- No advanced options (smart warp, context fill)
- Not equivalent to professional software like Photoshop
Warning: Blurring is NOT 100% Secure
Gaussian blur is mathematically reversible through sophisticated inverse algorithms. If information is CRITICAL (legal documents, identity), use Pixelate or Solid Cover. Blur is aesthetically better but less secure.
- Pixelation
- Reducing resolution by dividing area into uniform color blocks. Irreversible. Maximum security against AI facial recognition.
- Gaussian Blur
- Mathematical smoothing based on normal distribution. Theoretically reversible through deconvolution, but practically very difficult.
- Solid Cover
- Opaque block of uniform color. Maximum security, maximum legal privacy, less visually elegant.
- TinyFaceDetector
- Lightweight convolutional neural network (CNN) for detecting faces. Runs locally in browser without needing an external server.
- Privacy by Design (PbD)
- Approach where privacy is integrated starting from system design, not added later. Our local approach is Privacy by Design.
Privacy in Your Control
We do not store or process your photos on remote servers. There are no tracking cookies. No editing histories. We don't know what you hide because we never see your images. Full control, full privacy, full freedom.
