Blur Image

Drag boxes over faces, number plates, addresses, names on documents — anything that should not be public — and blur or pixelate just those areas. The rest of the photo stays at full quality. Everything happens in your browser; sensitive photos are exactly the ones you should never upload to a stranger's server.

Blur it properly (a safety note)

Light blur can sometimes be partially reversed by sharpening software, and small pixel blocks can leak shapes. For genuinely sensitive content — ID numbers, faces of children, financial details — use a strong setting (strength near maximum, pixelate with big blocks), check the result at full size, and when in doubt, cover the area with a solid editor instead. Also remember metadata: this tool re-creates the image from pixels, so EXIF location data from the original photo does not carry into the download.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the blur be undone from the downloaded file?

No — the downloaded file contains only the blurred pixels. That is the point. (Your original, untouched, stays on your device.)

Blur or pixelate — which is safer?

Heavy pixelation with large blocks destroys more information. For faces and plates, either at high strength is fine in practice.
