What is EraseID?
EraseID is an AI-powered face anonymizer and editor that automatically changes and replaces faces in existing images based on user inputs. It utilizes generative models to create real-looking synthetic humans that perfectly fit photos, enabling full control over all human identities. The tool is designed to protect privacy while maintaining visual aesthetics, making it ideal for GDPR compliance.
Key features include face replacement to protect privacy, identity generation to create unique AI models, AI face editing to modify features like origin, age, and hairstyle, and consistent identity creation for customized brand personas. Additional capabilities include expression changing, manual masking for partial face generation, handling group photos with multiple faces, and image upscaling to 4,000×4,000 pixels.
EraseID is designed for marketing professionals who need tailored imagery without model releases, privacy protectors requiring GDPR-compliant anonymization, enterprises amplifying image assets, photographers revamping portraits, graphic designers fueling creativity, and educational institutions prioritizing student privacy. The tool also offers API integration for website, app, or workflow integration.

Frequently asked questions about EraseID
Can I freely post images with people on social media?
Posting images with people on social media without their consent could violate their privacy rights. It's essential to always respect individuals' rights and interests. The best approach is to obtain explicit consent or have them sign a release form. An excellent alternative to ensure privacy is to anonymize depicted individuals using EraseID.
What is a model release?
A model release is a legal document that allows for the commercial use of an individual's image. It provides legal protection and helps ensure compliance with laws and regulations such as GDPR. The release specifies usage rights, permissions, and provides identification and contact information. An alternative solution is to anonymize photos using EraseID, which can effectively replace real models with artificial, realistic ones.
Can a generated face look like an existing person?
Our model produces diverse, bias-free synthetic identities. Given the model's vast parameter range, the chance of replicating an existing human's identity is almost nil. While a generated face might have a slim chance of resembling a real person, users should evaluate each similarity individually.
What types of images can I upload?
You can upload JPG or PNG images up to 50 megabytes and a maximum resolution of 7,000 x 7,000 pixels. For higher resolutions or sizes, please contact our office at [email protected] to unlock this option.
How does the anonymization work?
De-identification makes personal data untraceable to individuals. EraseID detects and replaces faces and haircuts with algorithmically generated ones. Effective anonymization might bypass explicit GDPR consent. However, EraseID's users must know and follow all relevant data protection laws.
Do you store my images in the Web application?
We store your generated photos safely on third-party servers in the European Union. We keep them for 24 hours, unless you choose to retain them longer.
Can the original face be retrieved after anonymization?
No, unlike blurring or pixelation, our software removes the original facial data entirely. Replacing the face permanently deletes the original information, ensuring robust privacy with no underlying data left to uncover.
How does the software differ from face blurring or pixelation?
Our software preserves a photo's narrative and aesthetic better than blurring or pixelation. While it conceals identity, expressions remain unchanged. Traditional methods like blurring might diminish the image's quality and prompt curiosity, potentially leading to attempts to recognize the concealed individual.
Does the software work on group photos with multiple faces?
Yes, after uploading to EraseID, it detects all visible faces. Users select faces to anonymize, and the software replaces them with new ones, blending them seamlessly. It can also handle faces close together.
What is the API for?
The API allows you to integrate EraseID software into your website, app, or workflow. It's a simple HTTP-based interface with various options for advanced creative capabilities, adding diversity and GDPR compliance. It's user-friendly and supports multiple languages.
