Blur Face in Photo — Free Online Face Blur Tool
Need to blur a face for privacy, hide sensitive information, or anonymize a screenshot? CompressEazy's face blur tool lets you select any area of an image and apply a strong blur effect — entirely in your browser, with no upload to any server.
Draw to Select the Blur Area
Click and drag on the image to draw a rectangle over the area you want to blur. The selection highlights in red so you can see exactly what will be affected. Adjust the blur radius with the slider to control how strong the blur is.
Blur Faces for Privacy & Compliance
Whether you're preparing photos for social media, blog posts, real estate listings, or legal documents, blurring faces helps you comply with privacy regulations like GDPR. Anonymize bystanders in street photography or protect children's identities in school event photos.
Blur Sensitive Information
This tool isn't limited to faces — blur licence plates, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, or any text in a screenshot. Perfect for redacting personal data before sharing images publicly.
100 % Client-Side Processing
Your images are never uploaded. The blur effect is applied using the Canvas API in your browser, which means confidential or sensitive images stay completely private on your device.
