Free tool
Hide faces and plates before you share
Cover faces, number plates, addresses and screens with a blur, big pixels or a solid box. The copy you download has no location and no hidden preview — and the photo never leaves this page.
Your photos never leave your device
Drag across the photo to cover something. Click an area to select it, then drag it or its handles; Delete removes it and the arrow keys nudge it.
For text and number plates, a solid box is safest: a light blur or big pixels can sometimes be partly undone.
Everything happens inside this page. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is sent anywhere — once the page has loaded, it even works offline.
How it works
Hidden for good, not just covered
Burn in
The effect is applied to the full-size photo: blocks are averaged, the blur is wide and strong, a solid box replaces what was there. What was under it is gone from the copy.
Save clean
The photo is saved again from scratch — a new JPEG, or a PNG for a PNG — with no details stored in the file at all.
What changes
Exactly what changes
Changed
The areas you marked, for good, in the copy. Your original photo is never touched.
Removed
Everything stored in the file: the GPS location, the date, the camera — and the small preview many phones hide inside, which plenty of blur tools leave unblurred.
Safest for text
Use a solid box for text and number plates. Pixels and light blur can sometimes be partly reversed; a solid box can’t.
