Use case
A photojournalist or event organizer, after shooting protests or gatherings containing strangers' faces, needs to redact those images before publishing or delivering them, producing shareable files.
Manually blurring each image in Photoshop or similar software, or using online redaction services that require uploading the photos.
Publishing identifiable faces creates privacy and safety risk; manual per-image blurring is slow and error-prone, while uploading originals to cloud tools means handing over sensitive material.
xOcto's call
Demand is evidenced
Trend: privacy redaction is moving from cloud services to local in-browser inference, so people handling sensitive imagery no longer hand originals to a third party. Entry: start from the image publishing step of newsrooms and nonprofits, charging per organization or per batch; but this is currently a personal experiment with no pricing or customer evidence, so watch whether newsrooms actually adopt it.
Reason to use it
Why users would choose it
Compared with manual per-image selection and blurring, it does face detection, blurring and metadata removal in one local browser pass, removing the per-image selection step and the upload step, so journalists and organizers handling sensitive photos would choose it before publishing; this is inference from product capability, not supported by user feedback.
