Blur a photo before you share it
or drop it anywhere, or paste with CtrlV
Your image never leaves this device. Downloads drop EXIF data like GPS location.
How it works
Open an image
Choose a file, drop it anywhere on the page or paste a screenshot. Your browser opens it on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
Cover what matters
Pick the brush, a rectangle or an ellipse, then Blur, Pixelate or Solid. Undo and redo work as far back as you need.
Copy or download
Copy it straight into a chat, or download a PNG, JPEG or WebP at full size. The new file carries no EXIF data.
What each effect protects
There is no automatic face or text detection. You choose what to cover, and each effect has limits worth knowing.
- Solid
- The safe choice for text: account numbers, names, addresses, codes. It replaces the pixels with one color, so there is nothing left to recover. A solid box also stays on top of any blur drawn over it later.
- Pixelate
- Good for faces and license plates. On small text, the blocks can sometimes be matched back to the original characters, so use Solid there.
- Blur
- The softest look, good for faces and backgrounds. Light blur on small text can sometimes be reversed or guessed. Turn the strength up, or use Solid for text.
Questions
No. Your browser opens and edits the image on your device. There is no server that receives it and no account. Once the page has loaded, you can even go offline and keep working.
No. The download is a new file drawn from the canvas, so EXIF metadata such as GPS location, camera model and capture date is not copied into it. The photo's rotation is applied first, so it still faces the right way.
iPhones save photos as HEIC by default, and some browsers can't read HEIC. Set Settings > Camera > Formats to Most Compatible, or share the photo as a JPEG first, then open it here. Safari on recent iOS and macOS usually opens HEIC directly.
Not always. Light blur or pixelate on small text can sometimes be reversed or guessed, especially numbers. Use Solid for anything that must not leak, like account numbers, passwords or addresses.
Editing does. Once the page is open, opening, covering, copying and downloading all happen without a connection. Reloading the page needs one, because it isn't installed as an offline app.
Images up to 16.7 megapixels (4096 × 4096) are edited at full size. Larger ones are scaled down to that limit so they work on phones too, and you'll see a note when that happens.
