Blur & Pixelate Photo
Rub over a photo to hide faces, names, phone and card numbers with a mosaic or blur, then save it as a JPG.

FAQ
Does it find faces or text automatically?
No. You paint over the area yourself; there is no face or text detection. Check the whole picture for anything left uncovered before you save.
Mosaic or blur — which is safer?
Use Mosaic for anything that must be unreadable, such as text, numbers or faces. A weak blur can leave outlines that are still legible, so raise the strength either way and check the result before saving.
Can I undo a covered area?
Before saving, Undo steps back through the last 8 strokes and Reset clears everything. A saved JPG already has the cover baked into its pixels, so it cannot be turned back into the original.
What size and format is the saved photo?
A photo whose long side is over 1,600 px is scaled down to 1,600 px for editing and saving. The format is JPG (quality 92%); transparent areas are filled with white.
Is location data in the photo removed?
The saved JPG is a newly drawn image, so EXIF metadata such as shooting location or camera model is not included. Your original file is not changed.
Can I process several photos at once?
One photo at a time. Use the Another photo button to switch.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Rub over the area with your finger. A bigger brush covers wide areas quickly; a smaller one lets you cover a single line of text precisely.
Are my settings remembered?
The mode, brush size and strength are stored in this browser and return next time. Add the photo again after reopening the page.
