About This Tool
Full image blur or selective area blur — both free
Fotor, BeFunky, and Canva lock selective (regional) blur behind paid plans — their free tiers only blur the whole image. This tool gives you both modes free. Draw as many rectangles as you need — faces, license plates, addresses, screen content — and download in one click.
Everything runs locally in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. After blurring, you can compress your image or add a watermark.
Selective Blur
Draw rectangles to blur only specific areas — face, plate, address. Fotor charges for this.
Full Image Blur
3 presets + custom radius slider from 0 to 50px.
Multiple Regions
Add as many blur areas as needed. Delete any region individually.
100% Private
No upload — all processing runs locally in your browser.

Redact Document Screenshots
Blur account numbers, addresses, tax IDs, or email addresses in screenshots before attaching to emails or support tickets.
Hide Usernames in Screenshots

Frequently Asked Questions
Upload your image and switch to 'Select Area' mode. Click and drag on the image to draw a rectangle over any area you want to blur — a face, license plate, address, or any region. Set the blur intensity with the slider and download. You can add multiple regions. Fotor and BeFunky charge for this feature — here it's free.
Upload the photo, switch to Select Area mode, click and drag a rectangle over the face, set intensity to Heavy (25px) or higher, then click Download. The canvas clip-and-blur technique makes the face unrecognizable at 20–50px radius.
Yes. In Select Area mode, each drag creates a new region. Draw as many as you need — all regions are listed below the image, and each can be removed individually. All regions use the same blur radius, which you can adjust with the slider.
No. All processing happens in your browser using the Canvas API. The image never leaves your device — you can disconnect from the internet and it still works.
JPG, PNG, WEBP, and GIF. The download preserves your original format.
For faces or license plates, use at least 20–25px (Heavy preset). At 25px, features become unrecognizable. For documents (account numbers, addresses), 10–15px is usually enough. Use the slider to go up to 50px for maximum effect.
