Drag on the picture to draw a box. Tap a box to select it - drag to move, a corner handle to resize, the red cross to remove. The effect and colour apply to the selected box, or to the next one you draw.
Drag a box over the part of a picture that should not be seen - a face, a name on a form, a licence plate, a phone number on a screenshot, an address - and it is covered at once: with a black censor bar, a blur, a pixelated mosaic or an emoji. Draw as many boxes as the picture needs, each with its own effect and colour, move and resize them with the handles, and download the censored image at the original resolution. The cover is painted into the pixels, so it cannot be peeled off later the way a layer or a low-opacity overlay can. Everything happens in your browser; the picture is never uploaded. It works the same on photos, screenshots, scans, memes and a censor drawing - any pictures the browser can open.
The black bar is the surest cover: the pixels underneath are replaced by flat colour and nothing can be recovered from it. A blur or a mosaic looks gentler in a photo, but a light blur over text can sometimes be read back, so use a strong setting for anything that matters or use the bar. Pixelate at a high strength is a good middle ground - the blocks are large averages that keep the shape of a face or a sign without its details. The emoji cover suits faces in casual photos; the glyph is drawn with your system's emoji font at the size of the box.
For a screenshot of a chat or a form, draw a bar over each line of private text; boxes snap to nothing, so line them up by eye or make one tall box. For a photo of a crowd, blur or pixelate each face, or let the blur face tool find the faces for you first. For a car, cover the plate with a bar. For a document to be shared, the bar in black is the standard redaction look.
The picture stays on your device: the boxes are painted onto the original pixels in the browser and the download is the full-size result. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on the number of areas. To blur a whole picture rather than a part, the blur image tool does that; to pixelate all of it, pixelate image.
Not from the downloaded file: the bar, blur, mosaic or emoji replaces the pixels. A very light blur over text can be partly read back by eye or by software, so for sensitive text use the bar or a strong pixelate.
Yes. Each box keeps its own effect and colour. Select a box and change the setting to change that box alone.
Draw a box over the face and pick Blur, Pixelate or an emoji. To find every face in a group photo automatically, the blur face tool does that and hands you the same boxes to adjust.
Yes. With Bar selected, pick black, white, grey or red, or open the custom colour picker for any colour.
Yes. Paste the screenshot straight into the page and draw bars over the lines to hide.
No. The picture is processed in your browser and the download is built on your device.
