Help
Quick fixes for the most common issues. Everything runs locally, so most problems are solved by reloading the page.
- The tool says detection failed. What now?
- On the first visit the ~1.5 MB face-detection model is downloaded — check your connection and reload. If it still fails, try a recent Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari.
- A face was not detected. Can I fix it?
- Yes. In the review step, drag across the missed face to add a blur area manually. You can drag any area to move it and pull its corners to resize. The blur is applied at full resolution when you download.
- The AI marked something that is not a face.
- Tap (or click) the highlighted box to remove it, then use Undo/Redo if you change your mind.
- My photo is rejected as unsupported.
- Use JPG or PNG. Extremely large photos (beyond your device's memory) may be skipped — try a smaller export.
- Where does my Lifetime purchase work?
- Lifetime access is linked to your sign-in account (Google, Apple or email link). Sign in with the same account on any device or browser to keep it.
- Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
- No. All processing runs in your browser. See the Privacy page for details.
