HAPPY IMGBlurring and pixelating a face both reduce identification, but they create different visual signals and suit different kinds of images.
Blur face
Use Blur Face when you want a softer, less aggressive privacy treatment. It works well when the image should still feel natural and editorial.
Face pixelator
Use Face Pixelator when you want the concealment to look more explicit. Pixelation makes it obvious that the face was intentionally hidden.
Main difference
- blur: softer and less disruptive
- pixelation: stronger privacy signal
Quick rule
If the image is casual and the concealment can stay subtle, blur works. If the privacy edit should be unmistakable, pixelation is the better choice.
