How do I blur faces in photos for free?

Upload your photo to BlurMe, right in your browser with nothing to install. Free exports are watermarked; watermark-free results need a paid plan.

Yes. AI finds every face in a photo and blurs them together. Processing many photos at once (batch) is available on Pro and higher plans.

Can I unblur a face if needed?

Yes. Click any face found by AI to exclude it, and only that face goes back to the original.

Yes. Open BlurMe in your phone's browser; there is no app to install, and free exports work the same as on PC.

Can I pixelate a face instead of blurring it?
