Blur a license plate or number plate in car photos online for free. Plates are found automatically, in one photo or a whole batch, and every box can be moved or added by hand.

Plates are found for you. Tap or drag across any plate that was missed. Drag a corner onto the plate's corner to follow an angle, the round arrow turns it, the red cross removes it.
Every other pixel of the picture is left exactly as it was: only the inside of each box is changed.
A license plate is public on the road, but a photo posted online is something else: it ties the car, and often a house, a street or a parking spot in the same picture, to one registration anyone can copy. Sellers blur the plate in car listings, owners blur it on forum and social posts, and people posting dashcam clips or street photos blur the plates of other drivers who never agreed to be in them. Copied plates are also used on cloned cars. Blurring the number plate takes a few seconds and costs the photo nothing - the car, the colour and the condition are all still there.
The plates are found by a small detection model that runs inside your browser, trained on photos of real license plates from many countries: US and Canadian plates, the long European and UK number plate, square motorcycle plates. It looks at the whole photo and then at a grid of closer views, so a plate on a car across a parking lot is found as well as the one in front of the camera.
It is very good but not perfect. A plate that is only a few pixels wide, half hidden, or seen almost edge-on can be missed, and now and then a sign with big letters is taken for a plate. That is why every photo is shown to you before you save it and every box stays editable: look over each photo, tap any plate that is still readable, and remove any box you do not want.
Blur is the default: it smears the plate into a soft patch that blends with the paint around it, which looks natural in a listing or a post. Pixelate turns the plate into large flat blocks for the familiar censored look. Solid covers the plate with one colour of your choice - black by default - for a cover nothing can be read back from. Blur and pixelate are measured against the plate itself, not in pixels, so a plate in a huge photo is hidden as thoroughly as one in a small photo, and what you see on the screen is exactly what the downloaded file carries.
The Strength slider starts high enough that the characters are gone rather than softened: at the default every point is averaged with the plate around it out to about a quarter of the plate's height, and nothing of the letters or digits is left to read back even at full resolution. Lower it only for a gentler look where the plate is already small and far away.
Select or drop as many photos as you like, or add more later with Add photos. Each photo keeps its own boxes, and Download ZIP saves all of them with their plates covered, each named after the original file. In one photo there is no limit on the number of plates, and each box keeps its own shape, so a US car and a European one each get a box of the right proportions. Plates on cars parked at an angle are rarely rectangles in the photo - pin the four corners to the plate's four corners and the blur covers exactly that shape.
This page is for plates. To hide faces, names or text in a picture, censor image covers any area with a bar, a blur, a mosaic or an emoji, and blur face finds the faces for you.
A photo of your car is a photo of your registration, often of your driveway too. It never leaves your device here: the photos are opened, searched, blurred and saved inside your browser, with no upload, no account and no watermark. The detection model is downloaded once and then runs on your device like the rest of the page.
Open the photo on this page. The plate is found and blurred automatically; if it was missed, tap the plate or drag across it. Then download the photo at its original size.
It is your choice, and a common one whenever the photo is public: a sale listing, a social post, a forum thread. The plate links the car to its owner's records and can be copied onto another car. Blurring it removes that link without hiding anything a buyer or reader needs.
Mostly for privacy: a plate can be used to look up or follow a car, to tie it to a home address in the same photo, or to make a cloned plate for another car. People also blur the plates of other drivers in dashcam and street photos, since those drivers never agreed to be posted.
A light blur or a fine mosaic can sometimes be read back, especially by software that knows what plate fonts look like. The default strength here is set against the plate's height so that the character shapes themselves are removed from the file, not just softened. Keep it at the default or higher, or use Solid, for anything that matters.
Yes. A detection model runs in your browser on every photo you open and puts a box on each plate it finds. Check each photo before you save it: a very small, blurry or half-hidden plate can be missed, and a missed plate takes one tap to add.
Yes. Select or drop all of them together; every photo is searched in turn, the thumbnail strip shows the count for each, and Download ZIP saves every photo with its plates blurred.
Drag each white corner dot onto the matching corner of the plate. The box becomes the same four-sided shape as the plate in the photo, and the blur fills exactly that shape.
No. The photos are processed by your browser on your device, and the downloads are created there too.
