🌫️ Blur Part of Image

Blur, pixelate or redact part of a photo

1. Upload your image.
2. Choose a shape — rectangle, ellipse/circle, or a freehand brush.
3. Choose a style — a soft gaussian blur, a pixelate mosaic, or a solid redaction fill (a clean black box censor, in any color you like).
4. Drag over anything you want to hide, repeat as needed, then download the result as a PNG.

Great for protecting privacy

Use it to blur faces before posting photos, pixelate a home address or license plate, draw a black box to censor names and account numbers in screenshots, or redact anything sensitive. The ellipse shape is handy for circling a single face, while brush mode lets you paint blur freehand along any path. Everything happens in your browser, so the original image is never uploaded anywhere.

Blur vs. pixelate vs. solid redaction

Blur softly smears a region and is great for a natural look. Pixelate turns the area into a chunky mosaic — a familiar censor effect. Solid drops a flat color box over the area for the strongest, most unrecoverable redaction. Made a mistake? Undo removes the last shape or brush stroke.

Need the whole background gone instead?

If you want to cut the subject out entirely rather than blur, use the background remover.
