    When you shoot a video for different purposes, whether it's personal social networks or commercial use for a company product or service, it happens that strangers get into the frame. When it comes to the commercial use of video, there is no doubt that you need to hide your face on video when it comes to people who did not give consent to participate in the shooting. It is extremely important to comply with the legal aspect. Then, after the publication of the video, there will be no problems and disputes.

    But it happens that on personal videos it is necessary to preserve the anonymity of some people. Participants in a video may want to maintain their privacy for various reasons– to protect personal data, security, or simply to keep their lives private. Here, too, the function would be useful to hide the face on the video before posting it on social networks.

    Sometimes the goals of video editing can be very different. For example, if you want to make a video funny or interesting with the help of retouching. Here is when the tool will come in handy to hide face emoji on the video. You can choose different funny and bright stickers to cover the faces of the video participants – your social media friends will appreciate such content, and you will get a lot of likes. Or you are a young mother, and you want to publish a video of your child, but to protect his face from unnecessary looks. Also, for you, this can be a way to give the video a mystery, or a special charm – to highlight the primary characters.

    How to hide your face on video with Android or iOS?

    Hide face on video – a fairly simple technology, if you have basic knowledge in the field of video editing and professional software. The main task in this process is to take into account the dynamism of the video and track the movements in the frame of the faces that need to be hidden. To do this, we use tracking: we set a tracker point on one part of the face (it can be the nose or eyes, or the entire head) and the program tracks all its movements. There is no need to draw a map of dots on the face – since we are covering the face with a static image, one dot will suffice. But it is important to make sure that this picture not only repeats the movements of the character's face but does not disappear throughout the entire video.

    How to hide your face with an emoji on your phone in a video?

    The next step is to choose the picture you like, with which we plan to hide the face in the video. It can be a sad or funny smiley, an animal head, a funny picture, or just a mosaic or a blur of faces. We impose this picture on top of the faces of the characters whose faces we plan to cover. With the help of tracking, which we set in the previous step, we transfer the movements of the face to the picture – now our smiley or blur will move synchronously with the movements of the character's face. In the case of such retouching, the picture in the frame will not change but will fulfill its function of hiding the face.

    What programs to use to quickly hide your face on video?

    If you are looking for a way to edit your video as quickly as possible, we recommend using the mobile application. Today, among the variety of mobile tools, there are various ways to hide faces in video apps. We recommend installing the RetouchMe application – with its help, your video will fall into the hands of professional video editors who will edit your video according to your wishes in the shortest possible time.

    Literally a godsend. They are the best at editing when you’re in need of any kind of edit on any photo. I have been using their app for YEARS now and literally will not post a photo without having them edit it first. The best part is - THEY DO ALL THE WORK FOR YOU! They are the absolute BEST! 🙏🏽🤍

    I loved this app and have had it for years. I did take away one star because sometimes there is long wait times for your photo to be edited, and for the first couple of years, it was never more than 15 minutes that you had to wait. Now that it has been a few years of having it there will be wait times for one to two hours if it’s a holiday or you’re in a certain area or it’s a certain time of the day. But overall, it’s a great app!

    I really enjoy this app. It’s very user friendly. However before there used to be an option where you can speed up the Process but I don’t see that option available anymore and sometimes it takes more than an hour to get a picture fixed. I really miss the expedite feature.
