How do I blur part of a picture?
Choose the image, drag a box over the area you want to hide, pick blur or pixelate and set the strength, then press Apply. Drag another box for each extra area. When everything private is covered, download the edited image. No account is needed, and nothing is uploaded.
Is blurred text really hidden?
A strong blur or large pixel blocks hide text and faces well. A light blur on small text can sometimes be partly recovered, so use a high strength for card numbers, Aadhaar numbers and other IDs. When it truly matters, cropping the area out entirely is safest.
Can I hide several areas?
Yes. Apply the effect to one box, then drag another and apply again, as many times as you need. Use Undo to reverse your last three steps if you blur the wrong spot. Download only when you've checked the whole picture. Each box can have its own strength.
Does the saved image still contain the hidden detail?
No. The effect changes the actual pixels of the saved file, so the original detail isn't hidden underneath. Your original picture on your device is untouched, so keep that safe or delete it if you no longer need the unblurred version. Share only the blurred copy.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It's edited in your browser and never sent to our servers. That's essential for a tool used to hide private information, because the unblurred image never leaves your device. After the page loads, it works offline too. Nothing is stored afterwards, and no account is needed.
Should I blur or pixelate?
Both hide details when set strongly. Pixelation with large blocks is very hard to reverse and looks deliberate. Blur looks smoother and more natural for faces in photos. For text such as account numbers, use strong pixelation or a high blur. Test both and compare the results.
How do I hide information in a payment screenshot?
Open the screenshot, drag boxes over the account numbers, UPI IDs, phone numbers or names you don't want to share, and apply a strong effect to each. Check the whole screenshot before downloading, because transaction IDs and names often appear more than once. Zoom in to check every spot.
Can I blur faces in a group photo?
Yes. Draw a box around each face you want to hide and apply blur. It's good practice before posting photos of customers, children or bystanders on social media, especially when you don't have their permission to show their faces. Blur generously around each face, not just the eyes.
Can I blur a vehicle number plate?
Yes. Draw a box tightly around the plate and apply a strong blur or pixelation. Number plates are small, so use a high strength to be sure the characters can't be read. Zoom in on the result before posting. Check every vehicle in the frame.
Can I undo a blur?
Undo reverses your last three steps while you're still editing. Once downloaded, the blurred image can't be unblurred, which is the point. If you need to start again, choose the original image again and redo the boxes. Keep the original safe, or delete it if it's sensitive.
Will the rest of the image lose quality?
Only the areas you blur are changed. JPG and WebP files are saved again on download, which can lose a tiny amount of detail overall. Choose PNG if you want the untouched areas to stay exactly as they were. Most people won't notice any difference.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes, in modern mobile browsers. Drag boxes with your finger and apply the effect. It's handy for hiding details in a screenshot before forwarding it on WhatsApp, which is when most accidental sharing of personal data happens. No app or account is needed for any of it.
Is blurring enough for legal or official documents?
For casual sharing, a strong blur is usually fine. For legal, financial or official documents, cropping out the information or using proper redaction is safer. When in doubt, share the minimum: send only the part of the document that's actually needed. Less shared means less risk.
Can I blur the background of a photo?
You can blur rectangular areas, including large parts of the background. It isn't an automatic portrait-mode blur that follows the outline of a person. For a simple effect, blur the areas around your subject in several boxes. For natural portrait blur, a phone's portrait mode works better.
Is it free?
Yes. Blurring and pixelating images is free, with no sign-up and no watermark. It's one of the free privacy-friendly image tools from Marketiism, which all run in your browser so your pictures stay on your device. Nothing is added to your images, and business use is fine.
