Overview
Send an image URL and the service detects faces (and, if you ask, license plates) and blurs each one. Faces are blurred by default; set detect_lp to true to blur license plates as well. You get back a URL to the processed image. This is a synchronous service — the blurred image comes back in a single response, with no polling required.
Key capabilities
Choose what to blur
Faces are blurred by default. Set detect_lp to true to also blur license plates, or turn faces off to blur plates only.
Privacy in one call
Anonymize an image with a single request — ideal for compliance and user-upload pipelines.
Synchronous response
The blurred image URL comes back in the same response. No job polling required.
When to use it
Privacy compliance
Anonymize faces in photos before publishing to comply with GDPR and other privacy regulations.
Dataset anonymization
Blur faces and plates in training datasets or public-facing sample images.
Content moderation pipeline
Add automatic face blurring to user-uploaded photo pipelines before display.
License plate protection
Blur license plates in real estate, street, or delivery photos.

Guides & tips
How it works
- The service detects faces and (when detect_lp=true) license plates in your image.
- Each detected region is blurred; everything else in the image is left untouched.
- You get back a URL to the processed PNG, ready to download or serve.
