Face Blur AI: Blur Faces in Photos with One API Call

When privacy matters, manual editing won’t cut it.

That’s why we created Face Blur AI — an API that automatically detects all faces in a photo and blurs them with high accuracy. It works in real-time, supports multiple faces, and gives you full control over blur strength.

What Makes It Great?

  • Ultra-fast response time (<1s)
  • blur_strength from 1–10
  • Handles front, side, cropped, and partial faces
  • GDPR-compliant (no image stored)
  • Easy to test with Postman or code

Use this API in your apps for:

  • Social platform moderation
  • Dataset anonymization
  • Photo censorship
  • Child protection tools

The example image to compare the blur effect at different levels (1–10):


curl --request POST 
    --url https://face-blur-ai.p.rapidapi.com/api/v1/blur_face 
    --header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' 
    --header 'x-rapidapi-host: face-blur-ai.p.rapidapi.com' 
    --header 'x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY' 
    --form 'image=image.jpg' 
    --form blur_strength=10
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
