## Description

MaskerAid is a Chrome extension that automatically detects faces in photos and obscures them with emoji, delivering a fast, privacy-first editing workflow. It also strips hidden metadata from shared images to protect your location, device, and other sensitive details. Everything is designed to be simple and fast for quick sharing.

With intuitive gestures you can move, resize, and rotate emojis to place them perfectly. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks thousands of emoji options. Your images aren’t collected; you can save to your Camera Roll or share via other apps, and MaskerAid was created by Casey Liss, known from the Accidental Tech Podcast (ATP) and Relay FM.
