How to blur a face in a photo
- Choose or drop a photo. The Censor tool is ready.
- Under Hide with, choose Pixel blocks, Blur or Black bar.
- Drag a box over each face, number plate or line of text, then save from Export.
Good to know
- For text such as addresses or card numbers, a black bar is the safest choice: light blur can sometimes be partly reversed.
- Zoom in with the scroll wheel or a pinch to cover small details precisely.
- Saved files carry no location data, so the place where the photo was taken is not given away either.
Questions
Why does it matter that nothing is uploaded?
The photo you are censoring is private by definition. Phixit never sends it anywhere, so no copy ends up on someone else's server.
Can a pixelated face be un-pixelated?
Large pixel blocks remove the detail for good. For text, the black bar is the safest option.
Does it find faces automatically?
No. You choose exactly what to hide, so nothing is missed and nothing is hidden by mistake.
