3 photos per day free, 10 per day with a free account · runs entirely in your browser
Most face blur tools ask you to upload your photos to a server. That means your images travel across the internet and sit on someone else's computer while they are processed. Privacy Lens takes a different approach: a compact face-detection model runs inside your browser, on your own hardware.
Because everything happens locally, the tool works on any modern laptop or phone, and your photos never leave your device. You drop a photo, the AI marks the faces it finds, you review and adjust the result, and you download the protected image.
The blur is baked into the exported pixels at full resolution, so the protected file cannot reveal the original face later.
