Frequently Asked Questions
What is "sharenting" and why is it a privacy concern?
Sharenting refers to parents sharing photos and personal details of their children online. Once posted publicly, photos can be downloaded, indexed by facial recognition scrapers, or used to train commercial AI image models without the child’s future consent.
Can I choose which faces to mask and which to keep visible?
Yes. You can use the Full Face or Eyes toggle to mask all faces automatically, and use the interactive brush to fine-tune coverage or stamp specific areas.
Are emoji masks safe from AI unmasking?
Yes. When MaskMyBody exports your image, the pixels underneath the emoji are completely overwritten. There are no residual facial pixels beneath the emoji for algorithms to reconstruct.
Can other parents use this for school sports day photos?
Yes. MaskMyBody is free for single-photo use without creating an account, making it ideal for sharing sports day, birthday party, and playground pictures respectfully.
