Blur & Censor Image
Hide faces, license plates, signatures, and personal details before you share a photo. Drag over any area to pixelate, blur, or black it out — all in your browser, nothing uploaded.
Hide a face, an address, or a signature before you share a screenshot. Image Machine lets you draw over the sensitive parts and blur, pixelate, or black them out right in the browser — no upload, no account. The effect is baked into the exported image — and for true redaction a solid black box removes the pixels entirely — while the original never leaves your device.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I censor part of an image?
Drag to mark the areas you want to hide, then apply a blur or a solid black box. A black box replaces the underlying pixels entirely, while a blur only obscures them — so use a solid box for anything truly sensitive. Either way the effect is flattened into the downloaded image.
Is a blur safe for hiding sensitive text?
A strong blur is fine for casual hiding, but for truly sensitive data like account numbers a solid black box is safer because it removes the pixels entirely rather than just smearing them.
Can the censored area be undone by someone else?
The effect is flattened into the exported pixels, not stored as a removable layer, so there is no hidden layer to switch back on. A solid black box is truly unrecoverable because it replaces the pixels; a heavy blur is far harder to reverse, but for highly sensitive data the black box is the safe choice.
