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 personal information in an image

Hide personal information in a photo or scanned document — names, addresses, dates of birth, account and ID numbers — by blurring, pixelating or blacking it out. Nothing leaves your browser.

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

What counts as personal information in an image

More than you’d expect: the name and address on a letter or parcel, the number plate in a driveway photo, a date of birth on an ID, an IBAN on a statement, a signature on a contract, a child’s school logo on a uniform. Any of it can identify, locate or impersonate someone once the image is shared — and images travel further than intended.

Match the treatment to the data

Blur handles faces and incidental background details naturally. For printed personal data — numbers, addresses, names — prefer the solid black Redact bar: weakly blurred text can sometimes be reconstructed, while a solid bar replaces the pixels outright. Both are modes of the same selection here, and both are baked permanently into the export. Pair with EXIF removal, since metadata can leak location even after the pixels are cleaned.

Sensitive data stays on your device

A document containing personal information is the last file to upload to an anonymous service. Here the image is loaded, cleaned and exported without a single byte leaving your browser — verifiable in your network tab.
