01
Review every detected face directly on the photograph
See all three fictional faces in context, inspect each editable region, and keep the detection count visible before any privacy treatment is exported.
Face Blur & PixelateImages
Find every visible face, review the regions, then obscure only what should not be shared.
Face Blur & Pixelate detects faces locally, draws reviewable boxes over the real image, and lets you add any missed region by hand. Choose blur or pixelation, tune the strength and padding, then save a flattened PNG while the original stays untouched.

What it does
Detect faces locally and turn approved regions into a new blurred or pixelated image.
Detect multiple visible faces on the Mac without uploading the photograph.
Review every suggested box before export instead of accepting a hidden automatic result.
Draw additional regions manually when a face is missed or another identifying detail needs coverage.
Switch between blur and pixelation and tune the treatment strength.
Add padding around detected faces so hairlines and surrounding identity cues are covered.
Save a flattened PNG copy while preserving the original image.
Detect, review, protect
Treat face detection as a reviewable starting point.
Real local detection, editable regions, blur and pixelation controls, and a flattened output stay connected to the same fictional team photograph.
02
Switch between a soft blur and clear editorial pixelation
Choose the treatment, tune its strength, and add padding around the face while the processed preview updates over the real photograph.
03
Save the approved treatment as a new flattened PNG
Render every reviewed region into a separately named copy, confirm the saved result, and leave the original team photograph untouched.
Why it belongs
Why Face Blur & Pixelate earns a place in the toolbox.
The practical details that make this job faster, clearer, or safer than doing it by hand.
Detection starts the review
Foldout outlines every face it finds directly over the image and reports the count, making the automatic result inspectable rather than final.
Missed regions remain correctable
Draw another box, move or resize any region, delete a false match, and run detection again before committing the pixels.
The treatment matches the context
Pixelation gives a clear editorial privacy treatment, while blur provides a softer result. Strength and face padding remain adjustable for each image.
Export produces a shareable copy
The approved regions are rendered into a separately named PNG, and the unedited source remains available for another pass.

Questions
Before you try Face Blur & Pixelate
Does face detection upload the photo?
No. Detection, preview, and export run locally on the Mac.
What if a face is missed?
Draw an additional region by hand, or run detection again after adjusting the image. Every box remains visible and editable before export.
Can I choose between blur and pixelation?
Yes. Switch treatment at any time and adjust both its strength and the padding around detected faces.
Is the original image changed?
No. Foldout writes a new flattened PNG and leaves the source file untouched.
