Image Face Blur | Fast Image Editing API

AI Image Face Blur

AI Image Face Blur automatically detects and blurs all faces in an image in one click. Upload a photo and get back a privacy-protected version with every face smoothly obscured — no manual selection or editing required.

How to Use

Upload your image — provide the photo via URL or drag-and-drop.
Submit — AI detects and blurs all faces automatically.
Download your privacy-protected image.

Pricing

Just $0.001 per image.

Best Use Cases

Privacy protection — Blur faces before publishing photos of crowds, events, or public spaces.
Content compliance — Anonymize images for GDPR, research, and data privacy requirements.
Social media — Share group photos without exposing unintended participants.
Security & surveillance — Redact faces from footage stills before sharing or reporting.

Notes

image is the only required field.
All detected faces in the image are blurred automatically — individual face selection is not supported.
Ensure image URLs are publicly accessible if using a link rather than a direct upload.
Please ensure your content complies with WaveSpeed AI's usage policies.

Image Face Blur API — Quick start

Grab a WaveSpeedAI API key, then call POST https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur with your input as JSON. The endpoint returns a prediction id; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to completed, then read the output URL from data.outputs[0]. Examples for Image Face Blur below.

HTTP example

# Submit the prediction
curl -X POST "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY" \
  -d '{
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}'

# Response includes a prediction id. Poll for the result:
curl -X GET "https://api.wavespeed.ai/api/v3/predictions/{request_id}/result" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $WAVESPEED_API_KEY"

# When status is "completed", read the output from data.outputs[0].

Node.js example

// npm install wavespeed
const WaveSpeed = require('wavespeed');

const client = new WaveSpeed(); // reads WAVESPEED_API_KEY from env

const result = await client.run("wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur", {
        "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
});

console.log(result.outputs[0]); // → URL of the generated output

Python example

# pip install wavespeed
import wavespeed

output = wavespeed.run(
    "wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur",
    {
    "image": "https://example.com/your-input.jpg"
}
)

print(output["outputs"][0])  # → URL of the generated output

Image Face Blur API — Frequently asked questions

What is the Image Face Blur API?

Image Face Blur is a WaveSpeedAI model for image editing, exposed as a REST API on WaveSpeedAI. AI Image Face Blur automatically detects and blurs faces in images for privacy protection. Upload an image and get a result with all faces blurred. Ready-to-use REST inference API, no coldstarts, affordable pricing. You can call it programmatically or try it from the playground above.

How do I call the Image Face Blur API?

POST your input parameters to the model's REST endpoint (shown in the API tab of this playground) with your WaveSpeedAI API key in the Authorization header. Submission returns a prediction ID; poll the prediction endpoint until status flips to "completed", then read the output URL from the result. The playground generates a ready-to-paste code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for whatever inputs you've set. Full request/response shape is documented at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur.

How much does Image Face Blur cost per run?

Image Face Blur starts at $0.001 per run. That figure is the base price — the final charge scales with the parameters you set in the form (output size, length, count, references, or whatever knobs this model exposes), so a higher-quality or larger output costs more than a minimal one. The exact cost for your current input is shown live next to the Generate button before you submit, and the actual per-call charge is recorded on the prediction afterwards.

What inputs does Image Face Blur accept?

Key inputs: `image`. The full JSON schema (types, defaults, allowed values) is rendered above the Generate button and mirrored in the API reference at https://wavespeed.ai/docs/docs-api/wavespeed-ai/image-face-blur.

How do I get started with the Image Face Blur API?

Sign up for a free WaveSpeedAI account to claim starter credits, copy your API key from /accesskey, then call the endpoint shown in the API tab of the playground. The playground also auto-generates a code sample in Python, JavaScript, or cURL for the parameters you've set.

Can I use Image Face Blur outputs commercially?

Commercial usage rights depend on the model's license, set by its provider (WaveSpeedAI). The license summary appears on the model card above; see WaveSpeedAI's Terms of Service for platform-level conditions.
