How to Blur Children's Faces in a Video
Before you post a video of children, you can cover their faces. FaceBlur applies one cover to every face it finds, so you can protect bystanders as well.

When this helps
- School events, sports days, and recitals where not every family agreed to be shared.
- Family clips that include other people's children.
- Playground or classroom footage shared with a group.
Steps
- Choose the video in FaceBlur.
- Check that each child has a mask, including children at the edge of the frame.
- Use solid cover or a strong mosaic, and raise the margin so hair and chins are covered.
- Remove the audio if names are spoken.
- Export, then watch the full video before sharing.
What a face cover does not hide
- Voices and names spoken aloud.
- Clothing, school logos, and name tags.
- Locations, signs, and captions.
One missed frame can matter. Faces that are small, turned away, or fast-moving can be missed. If a child must not be identified, review every frame or use a full video editor. Check the rules that apply to your school or event.
