Why blur parts of a photo?
Photos often show more than you intend: bystanders’ faces, license plates, house numbers, documents on a desk or a name on a screen. Blurring them lets you share the picture while protecting people’s privacy — including your own.
Blur or pixelate?
Blur looks soft and natural. Pixelate turns the area into large blocks and is easy to recognize as censorship. Both hide the details; for very sensitive text such as numbers or addresses, use a high strength so nothing can be read.
You stay in control
This tool does not guess where faces are — you draw the areas yourself, so nothing is missed or wrongly blurred, and no face data is ever analysed or sent anywhere. Use the oval shape for faces and the rectangle for plates and text. Undo the last area or clear everything at any time.
Do it right
- Cover a slightly larger area than the object itself.
- Check every part of the picture, including reflections and the background.
- Remove location data too with Remove EXIF.
- Keep the original safe — the blurred copy cannot be un-blurred.
