Processing

Waiting

Blur is useful for quick privacy edits, but it may not be secure redaction. For highly sensitive data, crop it out or cover it fully before sharing.

Local canvas editing

Images are processed in the browser using canvas. No backend upload is added.

Area blur and pixelation

Use selected-area tools for faces, addresses, plates, screenshots, and usernames.

Export ready

Preview the edited image and download it as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Current blur strength is 12px, which is a soft blur setting.
Review the edited image before sharing it publicly.
For highly sensitive information, cover or crop the area instead of relying only on blur.

How Image Blur Works

Blur reduces visual detail by blending nearby pixels.
Stronger blur spreads pixels over a wider radius.
Full-image blur applies the effect everywhere.
Selected-area blur applies the effect only to chosen regions.
Pixelation hides detail by enlarging blocky pixel groups.

Full-Image Blur, Area Blur, and Pixelation Explained

Full-image blur is useful for soft backgrounds or privacy previews.
Area blur hides only a selected part of an image.
Pixelation creates blocky redaction-style areas.
Feathering softens the edge between blurred and unblurred regions.
High blur strength can make images look less sharp.
Area tools are best for faces, addresses, plates, usernames, and private data.

Privacy, Redaction, and Image-Sharing Notes

Blur is useful but not always secure redaction.
Some blurred information may still be guessed from context.
Sensitive text should often be covered with a solid block or cropped out.
Faces, addresses, license plates, documents, and screens may reveal private data.
Review the whole image before sharing.
Remove metadata separately if privacy matters.
Use local processing for private images where possible.
