What's the difference between solid, pixelate, and soft blur?

Solid fills each face with a flat dark color across every frame — strongest privacy, zero detail. Pixelate applies a tracking mosaic. Soft blur is the gentlest — face shape stays recognizable but features are obscured. Solid is the default for journalism / GDPR use; pixelate is the classic 'TV documentary' look.

How long can the video be?

Up to 10 seconds for free users. Pro plans extend this limit. The AI tracker maintains face identity across frames within a 10-second window; longer clips are processed in chunks.

What if a face turns away or gets occluded mid-clip?

Our video tracker handles brief profile turns and partial occlusion. If a face disappears entirely (walks out of frame) and comes back, it may be picked up as a new instance — still redacted, just with a fresh tracking ID.

Is the audio preserved?

Yes — the original audio track is muxed back into the output video.

Blur Faces in Video

AI tracks every face across all frames and blurs them throughout the video. Privacy-safe anonymization with no manual rotoscoping.

Blurring faces in a video hides identifying features across every frame, so you can share interviews, protest footage, or vlogs without exposing anyone. EditClips.online tracks each face automatically and applies a solid bar, pixelation, or soft blur with audio preserved. Upload your clip, pick the privacy strength, and download the anonymized MP4. No rotoscoping, no sign-up.
