Photo Censor
Hide faces, license plates, names, addresses, or any sensitive detail in a photo. Just upload an image, drag a box over each area you want to hide, and choose blur or pixelate. Download the censored result as a PNG — your image never leaves your browser.
Processed locally — your photo never leaves your device
Drag on the image to draw a box over each area to censor.
Blur or Pixelate Anything Sensitive
Before you share a photo online, it's worth hiding the details you don't want public — a bystander's face, a child, a house number, a license plate, an email on a screenshot, or a signature on a document. This tool lets you cover those areas in seconds with a clean blur or a chunky pixelate, right in your browser, with no account and no upload.
How to Use It
- Upload your image (or drag it onto the drop zone).
- Drag a box over each area you want to hide. Add as many boxes as you need.
- Pick a style — Blur for a soft, natural look or Pixelate for the classic "mosaic" censor — and adjust the strength.
- Download the censored PNG at the original resolution.
Blur vs. Pixelate
Blur smooths the region so it's unreadable while blending with the surrounding image — good for a subtle, professional result. Pixelate replaces the area with large blocks of solid color, which reads instantly as "censored" and is preferred for documentary or news-style images. Both are applied at full resolution on export, so the hidden area cannot be sharpened back.
A Note on Privacy & Permanence
The censor is baked into the exported image — there's no hidden original layer to recover, unlike some "blur" features that only mask pixels. For maximum safety with very sensitive material, use a strong setting and a generous box. And because everything runs locally, the photo you upload is never transmitted anywhere.
