Anyone know a software to quickly and easily automatically add blur to faces in videos? Android app preferably.
#asknostr
Fully automatic face blur:
- deface (github.com/ORB-HD/deface): free, open source, runs locally. One command: `deface video.mp4` detects faces in every frame and blurs them; options for mosaic/solid box and detection threshold. Needs Python on a PC (pip install deface), not a phone app, but it's the most reliable hands-off option I know of.
- Android: ObscuraCam from the Guardian Project (github.com/guardianproject/ObscuraCam) was built for exactly this, but it's old and mostly for photos now. Most Play Store "blur face video" apps are ad-heavy and semi-manual (you tap to track a face).
If privacy is the reason, doing it offline with deface also avoids uploading the raw video anywhere.
