Face Blur

Face Blur

Track, blur and pixelate any faces and objects in your videos

Easy, fast, inexpensive. Pick three.

Face Blur automatically detects, blurs and pixelates any human faces in your video. Multiple faces can be detected at once in your video:

Multiple faces being tracked

Face Blur can blur or pixelate all of them simultaneously, or limit the effect to a specific face:

Blurring the fourth face

The relative size and tilt angle of each face is tracked independently, guaranteeing a consistent output when people are moving closer or further away from the camera.

More than meets the eye

Use your own graphic file as the shape mask. Bright areas in the graphic are used to define the visible portions of your mask. All popular file formats are supported:

Invert the output to create vignette effects that automatically adjust to the location of all faces:

The same features are available in all supported video apps. Explore advanced features through 14 built-in presets. Easily share your own presets across video apps or with other users.

If your videos are low-resolution or too noisy for automatic face detection, the included Object Blur plug-in let you track and blur any faces or objects across the frame.

What if automatic face detection doesn't work? Can I blur objects too?

Face Blur includes Object Blur, a handy alternative when face detection fails to make reliable predictions.

Object Blur uses object tracking, so you can use it to track and conceal just about anything in your videos. Object Blur offers identical presets and effect configuration so you can mix and match both plug-ins on the same timeline and deliver consistent output.
