Load the photo
Choose the clearest original so small and background faces remain visible during review.
Photo privacy
Blur a face in a photo before sharing it.
Import the photo locally, cover every identifiable face, then export a new PNG. MaskBeforeShare keeps the normal editing workflow in your browser and lets you correct anything automatic detection misses.
Free. No signup. No image upload.
The image is processed in your browser. Review every mask, export fresh pixels, and share the cleaned copy instead of the original.
Detect and correct
Run face detection where supported, then add, resize or remove masks manually.
Export and inspect
Open the exported PNG at full size and verify faces in reflections, screens and the background.
Before sharing
A complete face review includes the background.
Automatic detection is a starting point, not proof that every person has been hidden.
- Check mirrors, windows and screens.
- Use blackout when identification risk is high.
- Share only the newly exported copy.
Can I blur a face without uploading the photo?
Yes. Supported photos are processed locally in the browser.
Does face detection find everyone?
No. Angled, small, covered or reflected faces can be missed, so manual review is required.
Is blur or blackout safer?
Blackout provides stronger concealment. Blur can look more natural but must be strong enough to prevent recognition.
