§ PHOTO PRIVACY

Hide faces in a photo in under a minute

The bot finds the faces on its own and covers them with blur, pixels or a rectangle. Each face is adjusted separately — no Photoshop, no hand-drawn masks and no fiddling with one face at a time.

Promo access unlocks every Flowmark tool for 30 days. Right inside Telegram and MAX.

The same shot in different modes: pixels, blur and a rectangle — your choice, the whole face or just the eyes.
§ 01 · How it works

Anonymize a photo in four steps

No need to open an editor: it all happens in the chat with the bot.

  1. Send the photo

    Forward the shot to the Flowmark bot in Telegram or MAX.

  2. Tap "Hide faces"

    The bot finds the faces in the frame and sends back a numbered preview.

  3. Pick a mode and tweak the areas

    Blur, pixels or a rectangle; if needed, move and resize any area by hand.

  4. Get a safe-to-share file

    The finished photo with the faces hidden comes back to the same chat.

§ 02 · Every face on its own

Three ways to hide, plus precise tuning

The bot sends the detected faces as a numbered preview — then you decide what to do with each one.

Pixels, blur, rectangle

Three modes to choose from. For blur — a soft feathered edge with no harsh frame; for the rectangle — your choice of color.

The whole face or just the eyes

Sometimes covering the eye area is enough to make a person unrecognizable — that's a separate mode too.

Move and resize

If the detector was a little off, an area can be moved and resized by hand. Extra faces can be excluded from processing.

§ 03 · Finding faces

The bot finds faces, but lets you fix the result

The automation kicks in immediately: Flowmark applies several algorithms in sequence — precise neural detection, models for rotated and partially occluded faces, and a classic detector as a safety net. So a face in profile, at an angle or in poor light is found just as reliably as a regular front-on portrait.

But if something comes out wrong on a tricky shot, you're not stuck: any area can be moved by hand, resized, a missed face added, or an extra one excluded.

§ 04 · When you need it

When faces are better hidden

Before publishing in the open

If passers-by, children or event attendees ended up in the frame, faces are better hidden before publication.

Journalism

Protecting sources and people in sensitive stories — the face is hidden before publication.

Sharing within a team

Before sending a photo to a group chat, a contractor or a client, you can quickly anonymize the people in the frame.

§ 05 · Common questions

The essentials, in brief

Does the bot find the faces by itself?

Yes. A cascade of several algorithms: precise neural detection, models for rotated faces and a classic detector as a safety net.

How can a face be hidden?

With pixelation, blur or a colored rectangle. You can cover the whole face or just the eyes, adjust the strength, and for blur, feather the edge.

What if a face wasn't found or the area shifted?

Each face is adjusted separately: an area can be moved and resized by hand, and extra faces excluded from processing.

Can faces in video be hidden too?

Right now face hiding works for photos. For video this tool isn't available yet.

Is it free?

There's a free plan, and the promo link opens 30 days of extended access.
