Auto blur faces in photos & videos before you share. Kloak runs entirely on your iPhone: private, on-device, nothing uploaded. Blur, pixelate, stickers + more in seconds.
Kloak hides faces in your videos — on your device, in your control.
No uploads. No servers. No traces.
Pick a video, pick an effect, share with confidence.
Whether you're a creator protecting bystanders, a parent sharing family clips, a journalist shielding sources, or just someone who cares who's recognizable in your footage, Kloak makes face redaction fast, flexible, and honest.
— PRIVACY-GRADE BY DEFAULT —
Most "blur" tools can be reversed by AI face-restoration models. Kloak labels every effect clearly. Privacy-grade effects — Mosaic, Pixelate, Bloom, and Emoji — irreversibly destroy face pixels so they stay hidden. Stylistic effects (like Gaussian blur) are tagged so you know exactly what protects you and what just looks nice.
— PER-PERSON CONTROL —
Kloak auto-detects every face in your video. Tap any person to apply a specific effect, leave them visible, or swap their face for an emoji. Different effects for different people in the same clip — your call, every time.
— FEATURES —
• Auto face detection across the full timeline
• Mosaic, Pixelate, Bloom — irreversible privacy-grade effects
• Emoji overlays
• Gaussian blur for stylistic softening
• Freeform drawing tool for custom regions
• Live preview before you commit
• Quick actions
• Re-open and re-edit any processed video later
• Real-time progress with time estimates
— ON-DEVICE, ALWAYS —
Every frame is processed locally on your iPhone. Your videos never leave your device. No account, no cloud, no telemetry, no network required.
Made for people who believe consent matters in video.

I am a full time parenting content creator who does not show my kids’ faces online. Suffice to say, it has been very difficult and time consuming to cover their faces with emojis, especially if they’re moving around in the video, and this app has already saved me so much time! Plus, the Kloaks you can choose from are adorable. Highly recommend!
Good Idea But Still Needs A Lot Of Work

A friend sent me an ad for this app and I thought “wow, this is just what I have been looking for.” Unfortunately, the app is very glitchy and is not as easy or seamless to use as other reviewers have mentioned. One example is when it auto-blurs it has soft edges, if I add a new blur Kloak now it’s this rough, ugly looking square. Sometimes when I go add a new Kloak the app freezes. If you split a blur and then delete the part you don’t want, it deletes the whole blur. One time I spent about 2 hours fixing the auto-blurs, and when I got to the last few frames the app crashed. When I got back in it said the video file didn’t exist and I had to start all over. If the subscription were cheaper I could maybe overlook these issues, but at $8 a month for it not to be a super easy, and user-friendly app, it’s just not worth it.

Hello beyondmyfence, This is an awful experience and I'm honestly shocked with your generosity of rating it 3 stars with the experience you had in the app 🫣. I'm sorry, that sounds truly frustrating . I do see you wrote this review while on version 1.1 and I wanted to let you know if you update the app today, you will see a lot of your frustrations should be resolved. Bugs we fixed that you brought up in your review that are now fixed: 1. The "Add Kloak" has feathered edges now 🪶2. We got rid of the ugly square 🥳3. You can draw a custom Kloak Mask OR add an oval shape 4. The bug where you wanted to delete only part of the layer would result to the entire layer being deleted is fixed. ✅Could you please email me at hello@kloakapp.com? I want to ensure that this isn't a crappy experience for you after your update & I have a small something as a thank you for the feedback. - Sarah
Slow app and almost ineffective
RachelMomolina
I’ve been trying to use this app since i found it as it went viral, and I’m trying sooo hard to love it but I can’t. It’s slow, and it takes sooo long just to add a ‘Kloak” onto a person. I thought it would automatically Kloak a person for the whole video, but for whatever reason it only does part of the video - leaving you to do the manual hard work and 99% the time I want to give up because that’s how timely it is. There should be a feature BEFORE uploading and rendering the whole video to eleven WHO you want to Kloak. I feel like this could potentially speed up the process of using this app if we could choose. So all in all, I love this concept, but there’s a lot of work to be done.
Developer Response
Hi RachelMomolina, Really appreciate this feedback, thank you. I see you were on version 1.2 when you wrote this review. We have since released 2 new updates that should help with the issues you're having. Specifically, there is a "manual" button on the bottom right that will import the video instantly into the editor. From there you can select which faces you'd like the app to track and cover instead of waiting for Kloak to cover them all initially.I would love to stay in touch and get this experience to 5 stars for you. Can you please reach out to me at hello@kloakapp.com? I'm ready to do the work 🤝 - Sarah
I’m obsessed!!!

I love sharing videos but I don’t like putting my son’s face online. This is so much better than blurring his face using other tools, which takes forever. This is literally going to save so much time. Thank you!!!
Developer Response
HI madisonfaith12, thank you so much for the review, really appreciate it. I've released an update inside the app since you left this review, so the app will be more accurate and faster now too. :) - Sarah
Critical bug fix where horizontal videos were not accurately Kloaking faces & overall accuracy updates. Please send in your feedback and suggestions via the Settings section inside Kloak. :) - Sarah
