About

Blur Group Faces

Features
Read full description

Blur Group Faces finds the faces in your photos and hides them behind a blur, a mosaic, a solid cover or an emoji. Everything happens on your iPhone: nothing is uploaded anywhere and the original stays untouched. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Automatic face detection, with every area you can switch on or off one by one. • Manual areas: draw your own box over plates, documents or details the detector misses. • Four styles: blur, mosaic, solid or emoji, in an oval or rectangle shape. • Irreversible by design: each face is erased before the effect is applied, so no one can reconstruct it from the copy. • Location and metadata are removed from every copy you save or share. • Live result preview: press and hold to compare with the original. • Share directly, or invert the selection to blur everyone except one person. • Saves a copy to your Photos library: the original is never modified. • An in-app collection of the protected photos you have already saved. PRIVACY, NOT PROMISES No backend, no account, no third-party SDKs. Detection uses Apple's Vision and processing uses Core Image, both on device. Photos are never sent to servers or cloud services, and the app collects no analytics and shows no ads.
