Sometimes, you want to share a photo but need to protect the privacy of those in it. Pixelating faces is a simple way to blur out identities while still preserving the essence of the image. Here’s how to do it quickly on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac:
On iPhone and iPad:
Open the Photos app and select the photo.
Tap the “Edit” button.
Select the “Markup” tool (the icon with a pencil and a square).
Tap the “Pixelate” tool (the icon with a pixelated square).
Drag your finger over the face you want to pixelate. Adjust the size of the pixelated area as needed.
Tap “Done” to save the edited photo.
On Mac:
Open the “Photos” app and select the photo.
Click the “Edit” button.
Select the “Markup” tool from the toolbar.
Choose the “Pixelate” tool from the Markup toolbar.
Drag your cursor over the face you want to pixelate. Resize the pixelated area as necessary.
Click “Done” to save the edited photo.
With these simple steps, you can quickly and easily pixelate faces in your photos, safeguarding privacy while still sharing the essence of the image. Remember, blurring faces is a simple way to protect people’s identities, and you can also use the “Redact” tool in the Markup tool to blur out other sensitive information like text or logos.
