Visit Remove.bg →Parents, coaches, and community managers often need to blur a face in a photo before posting team pictures online. HideShot opens the file in your browser, applies a soft blur inside each box you draw, and lets you download a share-ready PNG.
Faces in profile or three-quarter angles fit easily inside a single rectangle. For tight group shots, draw separate boxes per person. Use Undo if a box is misaligned — you do not have to restart from the original upload.
If identification risk is high (news tips, witness protection), pair blur with careful cropping or switch to Black Box for irreversible coverage. For everyday social posts, blur is usually enough.
Yes. Draw a separate selection for each face. Process them one at a time; each blur is added to the canvas until you download.
It will obscure the area you cover, though reflective glasses may leave highlights. Expand the box slightly past the hairline for better coverage.
Only pixels inside your boxes are altered. Resolution and sharpness outside the selections stay the same.
PNG, JPG, WebP, and GIF uploads are supported. Export is always PNG for maximum compatibility.
