24 alternatives to FaceBlurify

Hi HN, I built a free website that automatically detects faces in the browser and lets you blur/pixelate them client‑side. Short videos stream to a server for FFmpeg + FD model processing and are deleted later. * Privacy first * No sign‑up * PWA/offline once cached * Multi‑language UI (i18n‑next) I’m looking for feedback on perf/UX, and also validate the need (If any...) before adding a Pro tier (longer videos, batch...). Happy to dive into the code/design.

    The effect renders a 3D avatar model on top of the user's face. Tracks one face at a time. It uses MediaPipe's GPU delegate (WebGL2) when available, with automatic fallback to a WASM CPU delegate. MediaPipe's FaceLandmarker runs inside a Web Worker that the SDK spawns. The worker dynamically imports MediaPipe, its WASM, and the 3D model. The avatar requirements: a 3D mesh with Apple ARKit Facial Blendshapes in GLB file format. I welcome everyone who tries it and posts a feedback here!

    We blurred, pixelated and redacted sensitive text at 10 strengths and tried to get it back. Light blur came back 92-100% of the time. One method leaked nothing.

    Hey everyone! i built this free tool that basically let you appear as literally anyone in video calls. it uses the latest tech in audio driven portrait animation. Would love to have some people test this out and let me know what you think! It's currently available on ubuntu systems. it works best with 4070 or 3080 gpus and up! basically anything with about 30TFLOPS on fp16. It runs totally on your device for 100% privacy too. Just looking for people to test this out and let me know what they think! You can download it at https://www.phazr.ai/

    I built a live video privacy filter that helps smart glasses app developers handle privacy automatically. How it works: You can replace a raw camera feed with the filtered stream in your app. The filter processes a live video stream, applies privacy protections, and outputs a privacy-compliant stream in real time. You can use this processed stream for AI apps, social apps, or anything else. Features: Currently, the filter blurs all faces except those who have given consent. Consent can be granted verbally by saying something like "I consent to be captured" to the camera. I'll be adding more…

    This is something fun I’ve been hacking on recently: ridiculously simple group chat. Go to http://faces.io and then get your friends to do the same. That’s it! :-D Currently works best in Chrome. It’s definitely beta status at best. Audio can get weird—be ready to mute. ;-) Let me know what you think!
