Private redaction
Blur & redact sensitive parts of an image
Find faces and common sensitive text automatically, add precise manual covers, then download a permanently flattened image — entirely on your device.
Frequently asked questions
Does Blur & redact upload my image?
No. Face detection, OCR, manual redaction, and export all run in your browser. The image is not uploaded for this tool.
What can it find automatically?
It detects faces plus OCR-readable email addresses, phone numbers, IBAN-like values, payment-card-like number runs, and IP addresses. Always inspect the selected regions before exporting.
Can I cover a licence plate?
Yes. Automatic plate detection is not part of this version, but the rectangle and brush tools let you cover any plate or other sensitive area manually.
Can a redacted image be reversed?
The downloaded PNG permanently flattens its selected regions. Blur and pixelate use enforced minimum strengths; a solid bar is the strongest visual cover. Keep the original separately if you may need it.
