Choose people with face references

Standard supports individual face choices in one photo. Pro adds identity matching for photos, videos, batches, and live sources. Matching is a suggestion to review, not proof of identity.

Draw manual regions

Cover details automatic detection does not classify: a screen, document, name tag, or missed face. Manual rectangles and ellipses work alongside detected regions.

Overlays, hats, glasses & masks

Choose a full-face graphic, a custom image, or a stack of built-in accessories. Placement follows detected facial landmarks and needs review on difficult faces.

Accuracy, 360° & difficult faces

Detection finds the region; the chosen effect hides it. Model, confidence, target, and padding solve different problems. Increasing blur strength does not improve detection.

Webcam, streaming & RTSP

Activate, renew & move a license

Website keys work with supported Windows and Mac website builds. A normal desktop license allows one active device. Paid licenses last one year and do not renew automatically.
