How to pixelate faces

  1. Drop the photo.
  2. Pick the block size.
  3. Press Pixelate and download.

What happens to your file

YuNet finds every face; each box, widened for hair and chin, is shrunk to blocks of the size you chose and scaled back with hard edges — the mosaic television uses. The rest of the picture is untouched and the format is kept.

A missed face stays visible; the metadata reports the count, and the box tool on Pixelate part of an image covers what was missed.

Questions

Blur or pixelate?

Pixelation is the more obviously deliberate; blur reads more naturally. Neither can be undone from the picture.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "image.faces",
    "options": {
      "effect": "pixelate",
      "strength": 12
    }
  }'

The same operation, image.faces — Every face YuNet finds, blurred or pixelated (`effect`, `strength`, `margin`); the count and boxes in the metadata, and the picture unchanged when it finds none. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
