- What's the difference between solid, pixelate, and soft blur?
- Solid fills each face with a flat dark fill — zero detail leaks through, strongest privacy. Pixelate replaces each face with mosaic blocks — destroys identity while retaining a sense of head shape. Soft blur applies a Gaussian blur — face shape stays recognizable, but features are obscured. Solid is the default because it's the safest for GDPR / journalism use cases.
- How does the detection work?
- Our AI vision model detects every face and returns a precise pixel mask per face. Whichever mode you pick is applied per-face — small faces get tightly-scaled redaction, large faces get proportionally larger coverage, so every face is unrecognizable regardless of size in the frame.
- Will my non-face content stay sharp?
- Yes. The AI only modifies the detected face regions; everything else — clothing, background, scene — stays byte-identical.
- What if no faces are detected?
- If the AI finds no faces (rare on clear photos but can happen on heavy profile / occluded shots), the original image is returned unchanged and we don't charge any credits.
