Blur and Redact Images — Hide Personal Information Before You Share
Before you post a screenshot, share a document photo or send an image to support, hide what should not be seen. Drop in your picture (or paste it from the clipboard), pick a style — a solid black box, pixelation, blur or a white box — and drag a rectangle over each face, name, phone number, card number, address or email. Add as many areas as you need, adjust the strength, undo the last one and download the result at full resolution.
Everything happens in your browser, so the original never leaves your device. The download is a brand-new flattened image: the hidden pixels are permanently replaced and no metadata such as GPS location or camera details is carried over. For anything truly sensitive — passwords, card numbers, ID numbers — use the black box, because blur and pixelate can sometimes be partly reversed.

Tips for the best results

- Cover a little more than the text — leave no edges.
- Zoom out and re-check the whole image before sharing.
- Do not share the original file alongside the redacted one.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Blurring tiny text lightly, which may stay readable or be reversed.
- Forgetting a second copy of the same detail elsewhere in the image.

Frequently asked questions
Is blur safe for hiding text?
Not always. Strong blur or pixelation on large text is usually fine, but a solid black box is the only method that cannot be reversed.
Is my image uploaded?
No. It is edited and saved entirely in your browser.
Does the download contain the original?
No. It is a new flattened image; the hidden areas are permanently replaced.
Is GPS or camera data removed?
Yes. The new image has no metadata.
Can it detect faces automatically?
Not yet. You draw the areas yourself, which gives you full control.
What formats can I open and save?
Open JPG, PNG, WebP and GIF; save as PNG, JPG or WebP.
