Blur faces in a video without CapCut or Premiere
Video editors can blur a moving face, but they mean installing software and manually tracking each face across the timeline, slow, and your footage often has to be uploaded. Here, faces are detected and tracked automatically, frame by frame, and the whole thing runs in your browser. It’s closer to a one-click “blur faces in video online” tool, minus the upload.
Tips for a clean video blur
- Use a well-lit clip, faces that are clear on screen track best.
- For maximum privacy, choose Whole face rather than just the eyes.
- Turn up the strength for small or distant faces.
- Multiple faces are handled at once, up to five per frame.
