Blur
Blur, pixelate or hide part of a photo.
What it does
Hides part of a photo, such as a face, a license plate or a name on a screenshot, then exports the whole image.
How
- Open an image (or drop it on the frame), then draw a zone on it with your finger or the mouse. Draw as many as you need.
- Drag a zone to move it, drag its corners to resize it. Delete (or the Delete key) removes the chosen zone.
- Shape: rectangle or ellipse. Effect: Blur, Pixelate, or Black box. Strength sets how much it is blurred or how big the blocks are. These settings change the chosen zone and the next ones.
- Export the image in PNG (lossless) or JPEG at 100 % (lighter).
Good to know
To really hide something (a plate, a document), use the black box, or a strong blur or big blocks: a light blur can sometimes still be read. In PNG, nothing changes outside the zones. The exported file does not keep the photo’s metadata (camera, GPS). Above about 16 megapixels on iPhone, the image has to be reduced (a message says so). Everything stays on your device.
