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.

Censor an image

Hide anything sensitive in an image — faces, names, numbers — by blurring, pixelating or blacking it out. The original never leaves your browser.

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

Three censoring styles, one selection

Different content calls for different treatment: blur for faces and backgrounds (soft, natural), pixelation for identities where the redaction should be visible, solid black for text and numbers where nothing may survive. Here they are modes of the same tool — draw a region, pick its style, mix styles freely across one image.

Censoring that can’t be un-censored

Every mode destroys or replaces the underlying pixels before export — there is no layer to peel off afterwards. Adjust strength per your needs, undo mistakes while editing, and export as PNG, JPG or WebP. The uncensored original stays on your device from first click to final download.
