Is face blurring reversible?

No. Once an image is exported with faces blurred, the original face data is permanently destroyed in the output file. Keep your original if you may need it later.

Does this tool auto-detect faces?

Currently you manually select the areas to blur. This gives you full control over exactly which regions are anonymized.

What blur radius should I use for full anonymization?

A radius of 15 or higher makes faces unrecognizable in most photos. For close-up portraits, use 25-50 for maximum privacy.
