Built for organizations that take data privacy seriously

Whether you're handling CCTV footage, research datasets, or customer imagery — SmartBlur gives you full control over your data pipeline.

Your data never leaves your server

SmartBlur runs the entire detection and blur pipeline on your own hardware. No API calls to external services, no telemetry, no cloud dependency.

Works without internet

Process classified footage in air-gapped environments or offline deployments. Once licensed, SmartBlur needs no network connection to operate.

Compliance-ready by design

Supports GDPR Article 25 (Privacy by Design), PDPA, and HIPAA data minimization workflows. Anonymize at the source before any sharing or storage.

Everything you need to protect face privacy at scale

From a single photo to thousands of video frames — SmartBlur handles it automatically so you don't have to redact faces by hand.

Automatic head & face detection

Robust neural-network detection finds every face and head in a scene — front-facing, profile, tilted, partially occluded, or in dense crowds. No manual marking required.

Images & Video

Three professional blur modes

Choose pixelated mosaic for a classic censorship look, gaussian softening for a natural appearance, or overlay a custom sticker — emoji, logo, or solid block.

Pixelated · Gaussian · Overlay

Video processing with temporal tracking

Process MP4 and WEBM files frame-by-frame. Temporal consistency tracking ensures blur stays locked to each person across the entire video — no flicker, no misses.

MP4 · WEBM · MOV

Selective blur & manual exclusions

Click to exclude specific detected faces from blurring — protect your VIPs, presenters, or subjects who have given consent while anonymizing the background crowd.

Enterprise Feature

Privacy protection in three steps

SmartBlur's workflow is designed to get out of your way. Open a file, configure once, export.

Open your media

Drag and drop any image or video directly into SmartBlur. Supports JPG, PNG, WEBP, MP4, WEBM, and MOV.

Detection runs instantly

Neural-network detection finds every face and head automatically. Review results on the canvas, exclude any individuals if needed.

Export & deploy

Download the processed file. All blur is rendered into the output — no metadata, no layers, completely anonymized.

See SmartBlur in action — no account needed

Upload any image and we'll automatically detect and blur every face. Runs on our server, completely free.

Detecting and blurring faces…

Face-blurred result image
Online demo limitations: processes images only (no video), blurs all detected faces (no selective exclusions), no overlay mode. Your image is processed server-side and deleted immediately after — no storage, no logging. The full desktop version adds video processing, overlay presets, selective face exclusions, and fully offline local execution.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, completely. Once your license is activated, SmartBlur requires no internet connection to run. All face detection and blur processing happens on your local machine using on-device neural networks. You can process sensitive footage in fully air-gapped or offline environments.
SmartBlur is available for Windows 10/11, macOS 12+, and Linux (Ubuntu 20.04+). All platforms are included in a single license — install on any machine you own. GPU acceleration is supported on NVIDIA cards (CUDA) and Apple Silicon (Metal).
Both are perpetual licenses — you keep the software forever and it never stops working. The difference is updates: 1-Year Updates gives you all releases published in the 12 months after purchase. Lifetime Updates means you receive every new version we ever release — today, next year, and beyond — at no extra cost. We recommend Lifetime if you expect to use SmartBlur long-term.
SmartBlur is designed to support GDPR, PDPA, and HIPAA data minimization requirements. Since all processing happens locally on your server, no personal data (face images) ever leaves your infrastructure. The software anonymizes individuals at the source before any further sharing or storage. We recommend consulting your legal team for your specific compliance requirements.
No artificial limits. SmartBlur processes files of any length and size — the only constraint is your machine's available storage and VRAM. For large video batches, processing speed scales with your GPU. There are no watermarks, usage quotas, or per-file fees.
Yes. SmartBlur includes a REST API server mode, letting you integrate face blur directly into your existing data pipeline. Drop files via API call and retrieve anonymized outputs programmatically — ideal for CCTV archival workflows, research data pipelines, or media production automation. Enterprise licensing (multi-seat, server deployment) is available — contact us.
