Before and after
How it works
The AI finds the person in every frame. Your original video is blurred and the sharp person is placed back on top, so the blur follows the subject as they move.

FAQ
Can I choose the blur strength?
Not yet. The blur scales with the size of the video.
Does it blur faces in the background?
It blurs everything that is not the main person, which also softens people behind them. For reliable face anonymization use a dedicated face-blur tool.
Is the audio kept?
Yes.
