Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between BGBlur and BlurMe (blur.me)?

BlurMe centers on fast AI face detection and letting you choose which faces stay sharp. BGBlur is optimized when you also need license plates, backgrounds, or arbitrary regions tracked through a clip—common for automotive, news, and operations footage.

When should teams evaluate brighter AI instead of BGBlur?

Choose brighter AI for large regulated camera programs that need Precision Blur, synthetic anonymization, or dedicated edge appliances. Choose BGBlur when marketing, creators, or lean teams need immediate web uploads and credits without a multi-month vendor cycle.
