## What is DeFace Privacy?

DeFace Privacy lets you anonymize faces (and any other sensitive area) in a photo with a single tap — fully on your device. No upload, no account, no tracking. The app works offline.

Highlights
	• Automatic face detection runs locally with YuNet (no internet required).
	• Refine with a soft pixelation brush: adjust block size, hardness, and the optional "secure scramble" that locally reshuffles tiles to defeat naive un-pixelation matching.
	• Editing happens at high resolution, the exported JPEG re-decodes the original at full quality.
	• Save back to Photos through the system share sheet, or send anywhere else.
	• Truly private by design — the image bytes never leave your iPhone.
	• Open source under the MIT License. The bundled face-detection model (YuNet, OpenCV Zoo) is also MIT.
