For anything truly private, use a solid black bar - strong pixelation is safe for faces, but a light blur on large text can sometimes still be read.

Hide Private Details Before You Share

Screenshots and photos often show more than you intend: a phone number in a chat, an Aadhaar or card number, a home address, a child's face, a car number plate. This tool hides chosen areas by pixelating, blurring or covering them with a black bar - in your browser, so the original never leaves your device.

How to Use It

Choose an image.
Pick Pixelate, Blur or Solid black bar, and the strength.
Drag over each area to hide. Use Undo Last Area to remove a mistake.
Or tick Apply to the whole image for a blurred background or preview.
Click Download Image.

Which Effect Is Safe?

Solid black bar is the only effect that removes the information completely. Use it for numbers, passwords and anything truly private.
Pixelate at medium or high strength is fine for faces and small text.
Blur looks softer, but a light blur on large, clear text can sometimes still be read - turn the strength up.

Limitations

Only the areas you mark are hidden, so check the whole picture, including reflections and small print. The saved file is a new image without the original's hidden details, but if you have already shared the original, it cannot be taken back. Photos can also carry location data; the downloaded copy does not include it, which you can confirm with the Image Metadata Viewer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choose the photo, select "Solid black bar", drag over the number and download. A black bar removes the digits completely, unlike a light blur.

Choose Pixelate or Blur, set the strength above the middle, and drag over the face. Repeat for each face you want to hide.

The downloaded image contains only the hidden version. A strong pixelation or a black bar cannot be reversed; a light blur on large text may still be readable, so use enough strength.
