Stickers versus blur and mosaic
There are three ways to cover a face on this site. Blur and mosaic both work from the pixels that are already there — they mix or flatten them. The outline of the head, the hair colour and which way the person was facing all survive that. The photo keeps its texture, and somebody who knows the person is left with something to go on.
A sticker is drawn on top instead. It does not use the original pixels as material, so wherever the sticker is opaque, what gets saved is the sticker. The trade is that a face becomes a bear, and the photo stops looking like a straight photograph. Which one is right depends on where the picture is going: something formal, like a company group shot, usually wants a blur, while a sticker suits a casual photo where a drawing over the face is not out of place.
Where the stickers land and how big they are
When a sticker is placed automatically its width is 1.4× the width of the detected face box. Sizing it to the box exactly would leave hair, ears and the jawline sticking out, and those are recognisable too, so it is deliberately generous.
It also sits 26% of the box height above the centre rather than in the middle of it. A detection box covers roughly the eyes, nose and mouth, which means the forehead and the top of the head fall outside it. Centre the sticker on the box and you cover the chin while leaving the forehead bare.
A sticker you place yourself by tapping an empty spot starts at 18% of the photo's long edge — there is no face box to measure, so the size comes from the photo. Larger scales by 1.18× per press and Smaller by 0.85×. However far you push it, a sticker will not grow past 70% of the photo's short edge, and will not shrink below 4% of the long edge.
Saving gives you a PNG if you started from a PNG, and a JPG at quality 94 for JPG and WebP originals, at the same dimensions as the original. Photos open up to 10MB, 6,000px on the long edge and 25 megapixels.
Where people get caught out
Detection finds every face
Profiles are missed. The detector is built for front-facing faces at a reasonable size, so a head turned well to the side or a face half cut off at the frame edge gets skipped, and candidates scoring below 0.4 are discarded. On photos over 900px on the long edge it makes a second pass over four overlapping tiles at 60% scale to catch smaller faces — it still will not get them all. Place stickers on the rest yourself.
A sticker appeared, so everyone is covered
Count the people before you save. Below the editor it tells you how many stickers are placed. If that number is lower than the number of faces in the photo, something is uncovered. Two faces whose boxes overlap by more than 30% are merged into one, so people sitting close together can end up sharing a single sticker.
A sticker erases what is underneath
It covers, it does not erase. The downloaded file contains the drawn sticker and not the pixels beneath it, but your original photo is still on your device — check which file you attach. Note also that refreshing or closing the tab discards whatever you were editing.
