Photo Scrubber — local face blur & metadata removal
Simon Willison released Photo Scrubber, a local browser tool that blurs faces and strips photo metadata.
Simon Willison released Photo Scrubber, an experimental in-browser tool that detects and blurs faces before photographs of strangers are shared. It uses Google MediaPipe compiled to WebAssembly and the BlazeFace detection model, and it also removes photo metadata. He said GPT-6 Astra helped build the tool, and processing stays local in the browser.
