Syntonym

Syntonym provides anonymization for camera and video data. Its flagship Lossless Anonymization uses generative AI to replace faces and license plates with synthetic versions, preserving attributes such as gaze, head pose, facial expressions, age group and gender for analytics and AI models. Syntonym Blur provides automatic blurring of faces, license plates and other data the customer chooses to protect.

Products are offered as a Cloud API, as a private cloud or on-premise deployment, and as an Edge SDK for real-time processing. Licensing is enterprise-based, annual or per-device, with volume-based or unlimited options, and the Cloud API is offered on a pay-as-you-go basis. Stated customer areas include automotive and mobility, robotics and physical AI, smart devices, and vision language model development.

Syntonym was founded in 2021 by AI researchers and computer vision engineers and is headquartered in London, UK. The company is a graduate of the Creative Destruction Lab HEC Paris AI programme, a winner of the European Startup Prize for Mobility, and received a 2025 Research & Development Excellence Award from the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology in Qatar.
