How to Blur Faces in a Video

1. Load video clips to anonymize

Drag and drop video files or use the Add Files toolbar item. Popular formats like MP4, MOV, AVI, MKV, WMV, FLV, MPG, and TS are supported.

2. Choose auto-detection options: Faces, Heads, Bodies, Plates

You can detect and blur faces, heads, full bodies, and car license plates. You can also manually draw rectangles over badges or screens you want to blur. To hide faces, you can use Gaussian blur, pixelation, or solid black blocks.

3. Start blurring faces in batch mode for all videos.

Check the destination folder and start processing. The program uses AI to detect faces and continues to track them even if the AI detection slips. This ensures that faces will not appear unblurred in even a single frame.

Why Records Teams Use Desktop Software to Blur Faces in Videos

Privacy. Keep videos on your device. Do not upload them online.

Blurring faces in videos is used to anonymize individuals for privacy, GDPR, and other compliance reasons. In most cases, teams and individuals handling this data do not want to share the original video with third parties.

Detection, masking, and blurring happen directly on your PC. Sensitive video never reaches a third-party server.
Automatically finds and blurs faces, heads, and license plates in dashcam and CCTV-style clips. You can also draw manual boxes over sensitive regions.
Can be run on a CPU. GPU acceleration is available as well.
