About Kakusu — Photo & Video Privacy
Hide faces and backgrounds in photos and videos. Kakusu detects faces in photos and videos and hides them with mosaic, blur, solid fills, or stickers. Review the result and save a new copy on your iPhone or iPad. Your originals stay unchanged. CHOOSE A LOOK FOR EACH FACE Turn masking on or off for individual faces. Adjust coverage while watching the preview, from the face alone to hair and neck. KEEP PEOPLE, HIDE THE BACKGROUND Open Background in the editor to apply mosaic, blur, or a solid fill. Hide faces and the background at the same time. Background masking applies to the entire photo or full video. DRAW A MASK WHERE YOU NEED IT Add a manual mask and adjust its position and size. In videos, set its start and end times or follow a moving subject with tracking. REVIEW BEFORE SAVING Press and hold to compare with the original. Adjust playback speed to review videos, undo edits, and resume your work. Export videos up to 1080p with or without audio. No watermarks. ON-DEVICE PHOTO AND VIDEO PROCESSING Photos and videos are not uploaded to a server for face detection, person segmentation, or editing. No account is required. FREE AND PRO The free version includes ads and has no app-imposed saving duration limit. A one-time Kakusu Pro purchase removes ads and unlocks nine original stickers, including smiles, a flower, a cat, and a bear. Existing Pro owners get these stickers at no extra cost. No subscription. Use Restore Purchases to recover your purchase. BEFORE YOU SHARE Automatic detection and tracking can miss faces or lose their position, and person/background boundaries may be inaccurate. Review the entire photo or video and add manual masks as needed. Text, license plates, and voices are not hidden automatically. Longer videos need more processing time and available storage. Keep the app open while saving videos with background masking.
