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 sensitive text in an image

Hide sensitive text in a screenshot or photo — names, account numbers, addresses. Drag over it to blur, pixelate or black it out, right in your browser.

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

Screenshots are full of secrets

Names, emails, account numbers, API keys, order IDs — screenshots carry them constantly, and posting one to a forum or bug tracker publishes whatever you forgot to hide. Dragging a blur over sensitive lines takes seconds and runs entirely in your browser, where a screenshot of your accounts arguably belongs.

An honest note on blurring text

Weakly blurred text can sometimes be reconstructed — researchers have done it. This tool’s blur destroys data by downsampling (not a cosmetic filter), but for truly critical strings the gold standard is the solid black bar, available as the Redact mode on the same selection. When in doubt, redact rather than blur.
