Upload your photo
Any photo from your phone or computer. It goes straight into memory and is never saved on our hard drives.
How it works
No blurring. No black bars. No stickers over your face. We add a faint pattern that confuses face-recognition software and leaves the picture looking like itself.
We add the protection
One click and it is done in a few seconds. You can adjust how strong it is, or just leave the recommended setting alone.
Download and post that copy
Share the protected version instead of the original. Upload it as-is and do not re-edit it, or you may undo the protection.
Your protection
What it protects you from
The everyday ways a public photo gets used against you.
Being recognised
Face-search tools stop matching your protected photo to the other pictures of you online. In our testing this worked on about 9 out of 10 photos.
Being connected across sites
Your protected photo no longer acts as a link between your different accounts and profiles.
Having no say in it
You choose how much protection to apply to each photo, and you can see the result before you share anything.
Why not just blur your face?
Blurring ruins the photo
Blur, pixels and black bars destroy the picture — and they shout that something is being hidden. You cannot post a holiday photo with a grey box where your face was.
We leave the photo alone
The change we make is faint and spread across the whole picture. To a person it still looks like you. To face-recognition software it looks like somebody else entirely.

Your options
Two shields to choose from
Both work the same way from your side — upload, click, download.
Everyday Shield
Recommended for most photos
- Worked on 9 out of 10 photos in our testing
- Your photo still looks like your photo
- Ready in a few seconds
Pick this if you just want it to work. Start here.
Portrait Shield
Best when picture quality matters most
- Slightly better results than Everyday Shield
- Keeps the picture a little cleaner
- Adds a second layer of protection
Pick this if the photo really matters — profile pictures, portraits, anything people will look at closely.
Being straight with you
This is a strong lock, not an invisibility cloak. We tested against one major face-recognition system and it worked on about 9 out of 10 photos — we cannot promise it defeats every service in the world, and heavy re-compression by a website can weaken it.
