We Never Upload Your Photos or Videos — Proof
Blur Face processes everything in your browser. Your files never leave your device. Here is how to verify it yourself in 30 seconds.
We Never Upload Your Photos or Videos
Don't trust us — prove it yourself in 30 seconds.
The 30-Second Proof
Here is the simplest, most convincing way to verify that your files stay on your device:
Open blur-face.com in your browser and wait for the page to fully load (about 5 seconds).
Turn off your Wi-Fi or unplug your ethernet cable. You are now offline.
Drop any photo or video onto the tool.
Watch it detect and blur faces — with zero internet connection.
If we were uploading your files to a server, this would fail. It doesn't. That is your proof.
How It Actually Works
When you first visit blur-face.com, your browser downloads a small AI model (about 6 MB) — the same way it downloads any other file on a webpage. This is the only network request related to the tool itself.
After that, everything runs inside your browser using a technology called WebAssembly (WASM). Your photo or video is loaded directly into your browser's memory and never touches our servers.
When you click Download, the processed image is saved straight to your device — again, no server involved.
What the Network Tab Shows
For the technically curious: open your browser's Developer Tools (F12), go to the Network tab, and filter by 'Fetch/XHR'. Process an image. You will see the AI model files loading — but zero requests carrying your image data.
The only outbound requests are:
- The AI model weights (downloaded once, then cached)
- Google Analytics page-view data (we track visits, not your images)
- Nothing else
An Honest Note About Analytics
We use Google Analytics to understand how many people visit the site and which tools they use. This tracks page-view behavior — not your photos, not your files, not any personal data from the images you process.
Your images are never part of any analytics payload. Ever.
Why We Built It This Way
Most online tools process your files on their servers because it's easier to build and lets them charge for API usage. We made the harder technical choice because we believe privacy tools should actually be private.
When you are blurring faces — whether to protect a child's identity, a journalist's source, a patient's medical record, or a witness's face — the last thing you should have to worry about is whether your sensitive file is sitting on someone else's server.
It isn't. And now you can prove it.
