Blur faces in photos — protect privacy before sharing

Need to share a photo but hide faces, license plates, or sensitive info? Draw a rectangle over the area you want to blur — right in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Everything happens in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored.

Why blur parts of a photo?

You want to share a photo online — on social media, in a news article, in a report — but there are faces, license plates, or personal information that shouldn't be visible.

You could use Photoshop, but that's expensive and complex. Or you could upload to a random website, but your photos — your family, your home, your documents — shouldn't leave your device.

How it works

1
Open your photo
Drag a file or click to browse. The image opens right in your browser — no upload.
2
Draw blur rectangles
Click and drag over faces, plates, or any sensitive area. Add as many as you need.
3
Download the blurred photo
Adjust blur strength, then download. The sensitive parts are hidden, the rest is clear.

Common questions

Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. Your photo never leaves your device. Turn off your internet after the page loads — it still works.
Can I blur multiple areas?
Yes. Draw as many blur rectangles as you need — faces, license plates, addresses, anything sensitive. Each area can have its own blur strength.
Can I adjust the blur strength?
Yes. Use the blur slider to make the blur subtle or completely opaque. See a live preview before downloading.
