Blur faces in your photo
Posting a crowd shot, a protest photo, or a picture with kids or bystanders in it? Their faces don't need to travel with it. MetaMarshal detects faces on your device and lets you blur, pixelate or black them out permanently — the change is burned into the pixels, so it can't be reversed by downloading the file. Nothing is uploaded, so the original never leaves your browser.

Processed on your device — nothing is uploaded unless you tap the optional AI estimate.
Nothing leaves your device to clean a photo — the only exception is the optional AI location estimate, which sends a downscaled copy off-device, and only after you tap to confirm.
How it works
1
Drop a photo above — faces are detected in your browser, so the image is never sent anywhere.
2
Accept the detected faces or draw your own regions over anyone the detector missed, plus screens, plates or documents.
3
Choose blur, pixelate or a solid block, then confirm — the redaction is baked into the pixels, not an overlay.
4
Download the protected copy, which also strips the photo's metadata before you share it.
