Why use this tool
Made for sensitive material
Sharing images that contain identifiable people or personal information raises privacy concerns. Faces, name badges, location data, and visible IDs can all be used to identify individuals.
Anonymizing an image before publishing or sharing removes that risk. It is standard practice in journalism, research, healthcare, and legal work.
This tool lets you draw over any region of the image and apply Blur, Pixelate, or Black Box with no uploads or accounts required.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does anonymizing an image mean?
Anonymizing an image means removing or obscuring all information that could identify a person, such as their face, name, ID number, or address.
Can I anonymize faces in photos?
Yes. Draw a box over any face in the image to blur, pixelate, or black it out.
Is this suitable for publishing anonymized research images or documents?
This tool provides a practical way to visually anonymize images. For formal research or legal contexts, consult your institutional requirements.
My image is large. Will the tool still work?
Yes. The tool processes the image at its full native resolution in your browser. Very large images may take longer to load.
Does the tool store my anonymized images?
No. All processing happens locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to or stored on any server.
Can I anonymize license plates in photos?
Yes. Draw a selection over any region, including license plates, addresses, faces, or name badges.
What is the difference between anonymization and redaction?
Redaction typically refers to covering text in documents. Anonymization is broader and includes faces, biometrics, and other identifying features.
Can I anonymize multiple people in the same photo?
Yes. Draw a separate box over each face or identifying feature. There is no limit to how many regions you can anonymize in one session.
Will the result look professional?
Pixelate and Blur look natural in journalistic and research contexts. Black Box is common in legal and formal document redaction.
