# Blur faces & license plates in photos (GDPR/LGPD)

**Use case:** 

Upload photo links and get them back with every face and license plate blurred and all EXIF/GPS metadata removed. Ready-made setup for real estate listings, street photos, events and AI datasets that must comply with GDPR or LGPD. Just replace the example image URL with yours and run. $5 per 1,000 images; failed images are free.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/adorable_partial/image-anonymizer.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
