When you publish photos online — on a company site, on social media or in an event recap — you are responsible for the likeness of the people in them. Anonymizing faces is the simplest way to avoid trouble and respect privacy.
Cutmoji detects faces and covers them with emoji directly in your browser. The photo never leaves your device, which matters for sensitive material.
▸ STEP BY STEP
How to anonymize a photo
- Open the tool and choose the face-covering mode.
- Upload your photo — faces are detected locally, with no upload.
- Check that everyone is covered; add or move emoji if needed.
- Download the anonymized photo, ready to publish.
Why anonymize photos
- Protecting the likeness and privacy of bystanders (GDPR).
- Safely publishing recaps of events, training sessions and conferences.
- Material for reports, documentation and media without revealing identities.
Privacy in practice
- Face detection happens in the browser — the file never reaches a server.
- Emoji cover-up is permanent: in the exported file the face cannot be recovered.
- No sign-up and no trace — we do not store your photos.
▸ FAQ
QUESTIONS. ANSWERS.
01
Is anonymizing GDPR-compliant?
Covering a face removes an identifying feature. Cutmoji is a tool that makes this easy — always assess compliance for your specific publication yourself.
02
Is the photo stored anywhere?
No. Processing happens locally in your browser and the file is neither uploaded nor stored.
03
Can a covered face be recovered?
No. In the exported file the emoji permanently replaces the face area.
