Real faces are replaced before export, so public images do not show the original child.
Safer school storytelling
Share what makes your school special without putting children at risk.
Anonemo helps schools prepare photos for websites, newsletters and social channels by replacing real faces with synthetic alternatives before anything is published.
No cloud upload. No external image processing. Everything stays on the school device.
Your team stays in control of review, approval and export from start to finish.
Important: synthetic faces reduce identification risk dramatically, but schools should still review names, uniforms and context before publishing.
Coming soon
Anonemo is currently being prepared for launch. This page is here to explain exactly what the app is, how it works, and why the privacy model matters.

Staff-approved export
Built for schools
Privacy first, not promotion first.
Schools should be able to celebrate learning, trips, performances and student life without exposing children's identities more than necessary.
No hidden dependency
Runs on your device, on your terms.
Anonemo is designed as a local tool, not a SaaS platform. Images are reviewed and processed by your team in-house.
How it works
A simple review flow for busy school staff
The process is built to feel clear and practical: import, review, approve, export, then clean up.
Import locally
Bring in a single image or a whole folder from a school-owned device.
Review detections
Staff check the suggested faces, remove false positives, and add any face the model missed.
Generate safer versions
Synthetic replacement faces are created offline, while the original scene and story stay intact.
Approve and export
Only reviewed images are exported. Temporary working data can then be deleted straight away.
Why schools choose it
Made for schools that want to show real school life responsibly
Protect children in public spaces
Reduce the chance of faces being scraped, reused or recognised by strangers online.
Keep everything in-house
No handing pupil images to a remote AI service just to prepare a marketing photo.
Support staff review
The app helps people review carefully instead of pretending automation alone is enough.
Fit existing workflows
Use it before uploading to your website, prospectus, newsletter or social media channel.
Reduce metadata risk
Export options can strip EXIF and other image metadata before anything goes public.
Keep the story, not the exposure
The classroom, event or achievement still comes through, without publishing real children's faces.
What Anonemo is
A privacy-first publishing tool
Anonemo is not a social platform, not a cloud image service, and not a hidden AI pipeline. It is a school-controlled publishing review tool built for public-facing photo workflows.
What Anonemo is not
Not a replacement for judgement
Staff should still check visible name labels, uniforms, event context and other identifying details. The goal is safer publishing, not careless publishing.
FAQ
Clear answers for school leaders, safeguarding teams and comms staff
What is Anonemo?
Anonemo is a desktop app that helps schools prepare photos for public sharing by replacing real faces with synthetic alternatives while keeping the image review process under staff control.
Does it upload our images to the cloud?
No. Anonemo is designed to work offline on the school device. Photos are not sent to a remote AI image service for processing.
Why say "100% anonymous faces"?
Because the exported image is intended to contain synthetic replacement faces rather than the original child's real face. That said, schools should still review other identifying details such as names, uniforms and context before publishing.
Is it really 100% in-house?
Yes. The workflow is built for school staff to run internally on a school-managed device, with local review and local export.
What happens to temporary files?
Temporary previews, masks and working files are kept in local app storage during review and can be deleted after export so the app does not keep unnecessary leftovers.
Can staff correct mistakes?
Yes. Staff can review detected faces, remove anything that is not a face, add missed faces, and reroll replacements if something does not look right.
Who is this for?
It is especially suited to schools, trusts, safeguarding leads, admissions teams and marketing teams who want to show everyday school life more responsibly.
Does this remove the need for human review?
No. Human review remains essential. Anonemo is there to reduce identification risk and support a safer workflow, not to replace school judgement.
