- Canvas PNG export strips original EXIF/GPS; the page warns light Gaussian blur may be partially reversible.
Field notes
The page says detection uses Apache MediaPipe FaceDetector with WebAssembly and a BlazeFace model served from its own /mediapipe/ path; it also describes a content security policy blocking outbound Google telemetry hosts. Users can add manual regions for missed faces, plates, text, or badges, and skip detections before export. Canvas re-encodes downloads as PNG and strips original EXIF/GPS, while the FAQ cautions that weak Gaussian blur can sometimes be partly reversed.
