Questions

How does it find faces without uploading my photo?

It uses YuNet, a small open face detector (MIT licence) that runs inside your browser. The first time, it downloads from this site together with the AI engine that runs it; after that it’s stored in your browser and works offline. You can remove it again with the link under the model.

Will it find every face?

Most clear faces, including small ones in group photos. Faces turned far away, covered, very blurry or tiny can be missed, so look over the result: drag a box over any face it missed, and choose “Look harder” to find more (at the price of the odd box on something that isn’t a face).

Blur, pixelate or solid: which should I use?

Strong blur or pixelation hides faces well. Solid can’t be reversed at all, so it’s the safest choice when the photo must not identify anyone. The effect is baked into the saved file; your original is never changed.

Does it recognize who people are?

No. It only finds where faces are, to cover them. It doesn’t identify, compare or remember anyone, and nothing about the photo is sent anywhere.

Does the saved photo keep its location data?

No. The saved image carries no EXIF data: no GPS location, camera details or dates.

Is it free? Do I need an account?

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
