How to blur or redact part of a photo
- Add your image.
- Drag a box over the face, license plate or text you want to hide.
- Choose blur, pixelate or a solid black bar, then download.
Why blur or redact a photo?
Before sharing a screenshot or photo, you often need to hide a face, an address, a license plate or private text. Redacting keeps the rest of the image while permanently covering the sensitive parts.

Frequently asked questions
Can the blur be undone by someone else?
No — the blurred or blacked-out area is baked into the saved image. The original detail is gone.
What can I hide?
Faces, license plates, addresses, names, account numbers — anything you draw a box over.
Blur, pixelate or black bar — which is safest?
A solid black bar is the most secure. Heavy pixelate or blur also works for most cases.
Are my photos uploaded?
No — redacting happens entirely in your browser.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, no watermark.
