    Getting a good result

    Hiding things in screenshots

    Email addresses, account numbers, names in a chat, a face in the background. Draw the box a little larger than the text, so no edges of letters show outside it.

    Blur is not always enough

    A light blur or coarse pixels over large, high-contrast text can sometimes still be read. For anything that matters, such as a password, a card number or an address, use the black box. It replaces the pixels, so there is nothing left to recover.

    It never leaves your device

    This matters most for exactly the images you would want to redact. The picture is opened and changed by your browser and is not sent anywhere.

    00:40Questions

    Blur image: common questions

    Is my image uploaded?

    No.

    Can I blur the whole image?

    Yes. Set Cover to The whole image.

    Can a blur be removed from the saved image?

    No. The saved file holds only the blurred pixels. The risk is a blur too light to hide its content in the first place.

    Can it blur a background and keep the person sharp?

    No. It covers the rectangles you draw.
