How to pixelate faces in a video

  1. Upload your video

    One MP4, MOV or MKV, up to 5 GB and six hours.

  2. Choose what to pixelate

    Faces or Whole people, and License plates if they need to go too. Mosaic is preselected.

  3. Make a free preview

    Six five-second clips from across your video come back censored, before you pay.

  4. Pay $10

    One card payment. The download link is emailed to you and works for two days.

A mosaic that fully covers

Blocks of one flat color replace the face rather than softening it. The blocks scale with the picture, about 20 pixels across at 1280 wide and 60 at 4K.

What it can miss

A face that is very small or turned well away. If one shows through in the preview, try Whole people.

Questions about pixelating faces

Is pixelating or blurring better for hiding a face?
A coarse mosaic hides more than a light blur, which can leave enough to recognize someone. Mosaic is the default here.
Can a pixelated face be unblurred?
The blocks replace the face in the finished file, so the detail is not in it. Keep the original private if that matters.
