Blurify Faces

Read full description

Some photos are worth sharing β€” but not everyone in them wants to be seen. Blurify Faces detects faces in your photos and blurs the ones you choose, right on your iPhone. Your photos come out clean β€” no watermark, no logo, no corner badge. Pick a photo, and the app scans it there on your device. Each face it detects shows up as a thumbnail you can toggle: blur this one, leave that one visible. Blur all of them at once when you're in a hurry. Then save the result to your gallery, or share it straight from the app. NO INTERNET CONNECTION REQUIRED Face detection runs on your device with a local model, so the app has everything it needs to work offline. Airplane mode, a basement with no signal, a mountain trail β€” it makes no difference. There's no account to create and no sign-in either; open the app and start. YOU DECIDE WHICH FACES Detected faces appear as a row of thumbnails. Tap one to blur it, tap again to bring it back. Blur all the detected faces with a single button, or keep your friends visible and blur the strangers behind them. BUILT FOR MORE THAN ONE PHOTO Add several photos at once and swipe between them. Each one is scanned in the background while you work on the others, so a batch of holiday pictures is ready in seconds. Export the one you're looking at, or all of them together. ABOUT DETECTION Detection is automatic, and like any face detector it can miss someone β€” a face turned away, half in shadow, or far back in a crowd. The result is always shown to you before anything is saved, so take a look, and use Scan again if you'd like another pass. Please check the preview before you share. ALSO INSIDE β€’ Scan again to run detection over a photo a second time β€’ Save to Photos or share to any app β€’ Multiple languages β€” the app follows your system language, or you can pick one in Settings Blurify Faces is for parents posting a school event, teachers sharing a class trip, anyone putting a crowded street photo online, and everyone who'd rather do this on their phone than in a browser tab.
