Blur image
A Gaussian blur across the frame: a backdrop, a placeholder, a hidden detail.

What happens to your file
A Gaussian blur whose radius is a per cent of the shorter side, so “medium” looks the same on a phone photo and a poster. The whole picture is blurred; the report says the radius in pixels.
Blurring one region — a face, a plate — is a separate tool. A heavy blur of a photo makes a good backdrop for a slide or a site header.
Questions
Is a blurred face safe to share?
Only at the heaviest setting, and even then not against every method. Pixelate at a coarse setting removes more.
Do it once, not on every form
A form that wants a square JPEG under 240 KB says so on the page. The Fylane extension reads that, fits your photo to it, and puts it in the field — without you working out what 240 KB looks like.
And it keeps the result. The next application that asks for a résumé, a cover letter and a photo fills all three from one tap, each one refitted to what that site accepts.
Your files stay in the browser, encrypted, on your machine. Nothing is uploaded to keep them and nothing is sent anywhere to fill a form.
