or choose a file. MP4, MOV or WebM, up to 10 minutes. Split longer footage first. Videos larger than 1080p are made smaller to 1080p.

Stays on your device

Your video stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. The page has no server code. The YuNet face model and Mediabunny run in your browser.

Long footage

The limit is 10 minutes for each video. Split longer footage into parts of 10 minutes or less, and add each part. Videos larger than 1080p are made smaller to 1080p.

Check before release

Check every frame of the new video before release. The tool can miss a face for a moment, and it hides faces only. Names, license plates, screens and voices stay.

What does this tool do?

A body cam records everyone near the person who wears it, and bystanders did not choose to be in the recording. This tool finds each face in a clip, tracks it from frame to frame, and hides it with a blur, large pixels or a black box. All faces are hidden at the start. In the People list, click a person to show their face. The example video is a meeting, not body cam footage.

Long clips

Each video can be up to 10 minutes long. Split longer footage into parts of 10 minutes or less in a video editor, and add one part at a time. Videos larger than 1080p are made smaller to 1080p.

Check every frame before release

No automatic tool finds every face, and body cam footage is often dark and unsteady. Check every frame of the downloaded file before release, in a video player that can move forward one frame at a time. The tool hides faces only, so also look for names, license plates, screens and text that the camera draws in the picture. If a face still shows, cover it in a video editor or cut those frames.

Where does your footage stay?

Your video stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. To check, open the Network tab in your browser's developer tools while you use the tool. The browser downloads the face model and the code that runs it, and sends a page visit count to our analytics service. It does not send your video. Read our privacy policy for the details.

Other tools

For other videos, use Video Face Blur. For one photo or one still frame, use Face Blur.

Frequently asked questions

Can I blur a complete body cam clip for free?

Yes. A clip of up to 10 minutes is free from start to end, with no account and no watermark. Some online tools limit free exports to a few seconds, or add a watermark.

Does my footage go to a server?

No. Your video stays on your device or secure network and never touches our servers. Detection, tracking and the new video all happen in your browser. The browser downloads the face model and the code that runs it, and these downloads contain no data from your video.

My footage is longer than 10 minutes. What do I do?

Split the footage into parts of 10 minutes or less in a video editor, and then add each part to this page. The tool makes one new MP4 file for each part and does not join them. Each part has its own scan, so choose who to hide again for each part.

What happens to footage larger than 1080p?

The new video is made smaller to 1080p. A video that is 1080p or smaller keeps its size. The new video is always an MP4 file. Your original file does not change, so you still have the full-size footage.

Can I hide the bystanders and keep one person visible?

Yes. After the scan, all faces are hidden, and the People list shows a picture of each person that the tool found. Click a person to show their face in the whole clip. The same person can show in the list more than one time, for example after they leave the picture and come back. Click each entry for that person.

Does the tool find every face in the footage?

No. Faces that are very small, turned away or moving fast can be missed for a moment. Body cam footage is often dark and unsteady, so these parts need the most attention. Check every frame before release.

What does the tool not hide?

The tool hides faces only. It does not hide names, badges, license plates, house numbers, screens, documents or tattoos. Text that the camera draws in the picture, such as the time or a device number, stays. Voices stay in the sound, unless you turn off "Keep audio".

Is the new video ready for release after the download?

Not until a person checks it. The tool does not decide what you can release, and it does not check the footage against any rule. It only hides the faces that it finds. Watch the new file and check every frame before release.

What do I do if the tool misses a face?

This tool cannot add a box by hand. Cover the face in a video editor or cut those frames, and then check the file again.
