Image Blur — Hide Faces, Plates and Sensitive Details
Blur out faces, license plates, credit-card numbers, or any part of an image you don't want shared. The blur strength is adjustable so you can go from a subtle softening to a solid unrecognizable smear.
When light blur is not enough
Weak blurs can sometimes be reversed by AI. If you're hiding something that must stay hidden — someone's face, personal data on a screenshot — use maximum blur or a solid black bar.
Local processing keeps sensitive data local
The photo you're trying to redact never leaves your browser, so nothing sensitive gets logged on a remote server.
Typical uses for a blurred image
Turning a photo into a soft background for a website, slide or wallpaper, creating a blurred placeholder image, or making the details of a whole picture unreadable before sharing it.
Blurring only part of an image
This tool blurs the entire image. To hide one area such as a face or a number plate, crop that region with Image Crop, blur it here, and place it back over the original in Photo Editor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I select just a region to blur?
Full-image blur only in this tool. To blur just a face, crop it, blur, and composite back — or use Photo Editor with a mask.
Is blurred text ever readable?
At high blur radius, no. At low radius, screen-reader tools can sometimes recover characters — err on the side of more blur.
What formats work?
JPG, PNG, WebP — anything a browser can load.
Is my original photo changed?
No. The blurred image is downloaded as a new file; the original stays on your device unchanged.
Does blurring change the image dimensions?
No. The output has the same width and height as the original; only the sharpness changes.
Does it work on phones?
Yes. The tool runs in mobile browsers, so you can blur a photo straight from your camera roll.
