In implementations of systems for generating and propagating personal masking edits, a computing device implements a mask system to detect a face of a person depicted in a digital image displayed in a user interface of an application for editing digital content. The mask system determines an identifier for the person based on an identifier for the face. Edit data is received describing properties of an editing operation and a type of mask used to modify a particular portion of the person depicted in the digital image. The mask system edits an additional digital image identified based on the identifier of the person using the type of mask and the properties of the editing operation to modify the particular portion of the person as depicted in the additional digital image.
