Frequently Asked Questions

What is a face blur and pixelate tool?

A face blur tool covers faces, license plates, and sensitive details with blur or pixelation to protect identity. It suits YouTube thumbnails, screenshots, and street photos where the rest of the image must stay clear.

How do I blur part of an image?

Upload a photo, choose blur or pixelate, then brush or drag a box over faces, plates, or text. Adjust strength and size, preview the result, and download the protected copy locally in your browser.

Can I blur license plates and sensitive info?

Yes. Paint over the plate or document area with the selective brush, raise intensity until text is unreadable, then download. Use it for car listings, delivery screenshots, and dashboards before posting publicly.

Why use selective blur instead of cropping?

Selective blur keeps context while hiding only sensitive parts. Cropping can ruin composition or remove proof details. Brushed blur preserves layout for thumbnails, evidence, tutorials, and social posts.

Is my image uploaded or stored?

No. All images stay on your device and are edited locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or tracked, so personal and client screenshots stay private without an account.

Can I blur profile backgrounds and screenshots?

Yes. Use soft background blur for profile pictures and strong pixelation for names, balances, or chats. Adjust brush size for edges, preview at full zoom, then export a clean share-ready image.

How to Use

Upload image

Select or drag a JPG, PNG or WebP photo to edit locally.

Choose blur or pixelate

Pick soft blur for faces and backgrounds or pixelate for plates and text.

Brush the sensitive area

Paint with the brush or drag a box, adjusting size and intensity until unreadable.

Preview and download

Zoom to check edges, then download the privacy-safe copy for sharing.

How to Calculate

Selective blur applies Gaussian blur or mosaic pixelation inside the mask only. Blurred pixels average neighbors by radius while pixelated blocks average color per cell size, leaving pixels outside the mask original.
