Watermarkly is an AI-powered tool designed to blur faces, license plates and other sensitive objects in images for the purpose of privacy protection. You can import multiple images at once and the application will automatically detect and blur faces and license plates.
The tool is versatile, allowing you to manually adjust the level of blur, and choose which objects or faces to blur or leave unblurred. This feature enables you to manage your privacy while still keeping your images presentable.
In addition, the tool allows changing the shape of the blurred area between oval and rectangular and adjusting the size, position, and shape of the blurred area to fit specific needs.
Furthermore, the tool smooths the borders of blurred areas for a neat and seamless look. Watermarkly also has customizable export settings, letting you choose the size and format for the blurred images.
Its user-friendly interface allows even those without experience with face-blurring tools to achieve their desired result in a few clicks.

How this was decided
Not an editorial call. The URL on file failed three consecutive
checks, with a confirmation re-probe before the streak counted (a
bot-wall response never counts as one), and the 3-miss rule marks the listing
discontinued automatically. If the URL responds again, the
registry restores it on its own: warn first, then
active. Both directions are recorded as events.
