Deface finds and blurs every face in your videos and photos automatically — in one tap, 100% on your device.
No uploads. No account. No tracking. Your media never leaves your phone.
WHY DEFACE
• One-tap auto detection — AI finds every face, even small, distant, angled, or partially hidden ones
• Works on videos AND photos in one app
• 100% offline — processing runs on your iPhone's Neural Engine
• Fast: seconds, not minutes, with full-quality export
CHOOSE HOW YOU CENSOR
• Gaussian blur, pixelate/mosaic, or solid color
• Emoji covers for a lighter touch
• Per-face control — tap any face to keep specific people visible
• Custom censor boxes for license plates, screens, documents, tattoos, or anything else
• Adjustable blur strength and region size
MADE FOR
• Parents hiding kids' faces before posting
• Sellers photographing items at home
• Teachers, nurses, and coworkers sharing workplace moments
• Vloggers and creators anonymizing bystanders
• Journalists and researchers protecting sources
• Dashcam, traffic, and real-estate footage (plates and faces)

I paid for the year membership which luckily wasn’t very expensive, but it doesn’t work at all how I expected. The “blur bubbles” that are supposed to capture faces just pop up all over the screen if the faces are not completely still…which they never are. Until this app gets some major updates I would not spend any money on it.
Developer Response
Thank you for the review. An update is already live that focuses on face tracking and censor stability, which have been substantially improved, so the bubbles should behave far better on moving faces than they did in the version you tried.If you update and it still doesn't hold up on your footage, please write to me at contact@pinnedapps.com and tell me about the scenario you're shooting, so we can continue make more improvements
Wont Export
Richrbrtsn
Purchased the monthly subscription but it wont let me export the video after it finishes analyzing it.
Developer Response
Sorry about this, two things that often clear it up: open Settings in the app and tap Restore Purchases, which re-syncs the subscription if it didn't register on this device. If the export still won't go through, try the share button (the arrow next to Export) instead of saving — if that one works, it's a Photos permission issue, fixable in iOS Settings → Privacy → Photos → Deface.If neither helps, please email us at contact@pinnedapps.com with what you see when you try to export.
