About FaceGuard: Hide Faces
FaceGuard is a photo editing app for hiding faces in your photos. It automatically detects face regions and lets you edit them with mosaic, blur, emoji, or eye line. You can also manually add, delete, move, and resize detected regions as needed. Key Features - Take a photo / choose a photo - Automatic human face detection - Switch between blur / mosaic / emoji / eye line - Adjust blur/mosaic intensity and eye line color/thickness - Apply the same style to all regions at once - Save to device / iCloud Drive / share - On-screen guide shown the first time you open the editor Specifications - Requires iOS 17 or later - Still images only (video not supported) - Supported formats: JPEG / PNG - Detects human faces only - Region shape: ellipse only - Up to 30 regions per image - Up to 30 saved emoji presets About Privacy - Image editing (face detection, mosaic processing, etc.) is performed on-device.
