Automatic trackingPixelate or blurDirectML acceleration
Pixelate or blur
Use block pixelation or adjustable multi-pass blur, with padding to cover more of the area around each face.
Select who is hidden
Hide every detected face, only selected face IDs, or everyone except the IDs you choose.
CPU or GPU
Choose the tracking processor.
Run the bundled YuNet detector on the CPU, or use SCRFD‑500M through DirectML on a compatible NVIDIA, AMD or Intel GPU. If GPU inference fails, the filter falls back to CPU detection.
Supported sources
Video Capture Device and Media Source. Scene, Browser Source, Game Capture and Display Capture are not supported in this version.

Options
Crowd mode raises detection resolution and lowers the confidence threshold to find smaller faces, at a higher processing cost. An extra mirrored detection pass helps with faces seen from the side. Optional diagnostic boxes show tracking IDs while you configure the filter.
