Blur Every Face in One Tap

Tap Blur All Faces and every face the tool finds gets blurred at once, from the friend next to you to the strangers in the back. Tap any face to unblur it, so you can keep yourself and your friends clear while everyone else stays hidden. Prefer blocks? Switch the faces to Pixelate. For faces turned to the side or very small in the frame, add a box by hand so none slip through.

Blur Part of an Image and Leave the Rest Sharp

Most photos only have one or two things to hide. Drag a rectangle over a license plate, an ellipse over a face, or brush over a name tag on a tilted shirt. Only the marked area changes. Everything outside it stays exactly as sharp as the original.

Black Out Names and Numbers in a Screenshot

For text, a solid bar is the safest choice. Switch an area to Solid Block and it paints over the original pixels in black, white, or any color you pick. Use it on phone numbers, email addresses, account names, and order numbers before you post a screenshot or attach it to a support ticket.

Redact an Image Before You Send It

Sending a photo of an ID, a bill, a contract, or a prescription? Redact the parts the other person does not need, like the ID number, the address, or the account details, and send the rest. You can mark as many areas as you need in one pass and download a single clean image.

Blur, Pixelate, or Solid Block: Which Is Safest?

Light blur preserves the shape underneath, so text and faces can sometimes be guessed. Small pixel blocks over short text can also be guessed by special tools. Strong blur and larger blocks hide more detail, but neither guarantees anonymity. For passwords, card numbers, ID numbers, and addresses, use a solid block that fully covers the information. The covered source pixels are absent from the flattened export; keep your original file private.

When People Censor a Photo

Strangers in the Background of a Trip Photo

You want to post a street or beach photo, but a dozen people walked through the frame. Blur their faces and keep your shot.

Kids' Faces in School and Sports Photos

Many parents hide their children's faces, or other kids' faces, before sharing team and class photos online.

Screenshots for a Bug Report or Support Ticket

A screenshot of an app or a chat often shows emails, user names, or API keys. Black them out before the screenshot goes to a public forum or a support team.

Car and Home Photos for a Listing

Selling a car or renting out a room? Censor the license plate and the house number so the photo cannot be traced back to you.

Group Chat Screenshots You Want to Share

A funny chat is worth sharing, but the names and profile photos in it are not yours to post. Blur them and share the joke.

Censor Image FAQ

Can a blurred face be unblurred?

A light blur can sometimes be sharpened enough to guess a face, especially if the person is well known. A strong blur makes that much harder. If someone really must not be recognized, use a solid block over the face instead.

Does Blur All Faces find every face?

It finds most clear, front-facing faces. Very small faces, faces turned to the side, and faces partly covered by hats or hands can be missed, so check the result and add a box by hand for any it skipped.

Can I censor an image on my phone?

Yes. Open the page in your mobile browser, upload the photo, and tap Blur All Faces or drag over an area with your finger.

Is it safe to censor sensitive photos online?

Your photo is processed inside your browser and is never uploaded to a server. Inspect every sensitive area before sharing, use solid coverage for private information, and keep the original private.

Can I censor a PDF or a video?

Not yet. The tool works on images: JPG, PNG, and WebP. For a PDF, take a screenshot of the page first and censor the screenshot.

Does censoring lower the quality of the rest of the photo?

Only marked areas change, and export preserves the original width and height. PNG keeps unmarked pixels unchanged; JPG and WebP can introduce compression changes across the image.

Does the download remove EXIF and GPS location metadata?

Yes. JPG, PNG, and WebP downloads are newly encoded from the edited pixels and do not carry over the original photo’s EXIF or GPS metadata. Any address, landmark, or other private information visible in the image still needs to be covered. Keep the original file private.

What if I want to pixelate a whole photo for a retro look?

Use the pixelate image tool instead. It turns the whole picture into big, even pixel blocks.

Want the Whole Photo to Look Blurry?

Use Make Image Blurry for soft focus, motion streaks, radial zoom, spin, and blurry meme effects across the whole picture.
