What is Privacy-First Blur Tool?
Image Blur Tool lets you hide sensitive parts of an image by dragging boxes over them, then export a redacted PNG. Choose blur, pixelate, or a solid black box for each region, and stack as many as you need. Because the whole thing runs on a canvas in your browser, the picture is never uploaded — ideal for redacting anything private before you share it.
How to use Privacy-First Blur Tool
3 simple steps to complete your task directly in your browser:
Add your image
Drag a PNG, JPEG, or WebP onto the drop zone, or click to browse. It loads onto the editing canvas at full resolution.
Pick a redaction mode
Choose Blur, Pixelate, or Black box. For blur and pixelate, set the strength with the radius or pixel-size slider. New boxes use the current settings, and each box keeps whatever settings it was drawn with.
Drag boxes over what to hide
Drag across the image to draw a box. The region is redacted the moment you release, so faces, names, addresses, and account numbers disappear instantly.
