Is my image uploaded to blur it?

No. The blurring happens entirely in your browser. The original, unredacted image never leaves your device — which is the whole point of a privacy tool.

Can the blur be reversed?

No. Blur, pixelation and redaction are baked into the exported image’s pixels. The hidden information cannot be recovered from the downloaded file.

What is the difference between blur, pixelate and redact?

Blur softens the area, pixelate replaces it with coarse blocks, and redact covers it with solid black. For maximum certainty on text (like account numbers), redaction is the safest choice.

Can I adjust a region after drawing it?

Yes. Click any region to select it, then drag to move it, use the handles to resize, or press Delete to remove it. Ctrl+Z undoes your last change.

Blur part of an image

Blur exactly the part of an image you choose — a face, a name, a screen, a background detail. Drag a rectangle over it and it’s blurred on the spot, entirely in your browser.

Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.

Blur the region, keep the picture

Most of the time you don’t want a blurry photo — you want a sharp photo with one thing made unreadable: the stranger in the background, the address on a parcel, the monitor behind a colleague, the document left on the desk. Drawing a blur over just that region hides what needs hiding while the rest of the image stays untouched and fully usable.

As many regions as you need

Draw one rectangle or a dozen; each region stays movable and resizable until export, and each can use its own style — soft blur, pixelated mosaic, or a solid black bar for text that must not survive. Strength is adjustable per region, and Ctrl+Z undoes a misplaced selection. Everything is baked permanently into the exported pixels.

Blurred on your device, not on a server

An image you need to partially hide is, almost by definition, an image containing something sensitive. Uploading it to a stranger’s server to blur it defeats the purpose. Here the file is opened, blurred and exported locally in your browser — the unblurred original is never transmitted anywhere.
