Step-by-Step: How to Black Out a Face with BlurIt

1.Upload Your File
Add your video or image to BlurIt, select the option to hide faces, and choose the “blackout” masking effect.

2.Processing step

BlurIt will analyze your file, detecting faces automatically. The processing time will depend on factors like resolution, file size, and frame rate.
