Why use this tool
Made for sensitive material
Screenshots almost always contain more private information than you intend to share: notification banners, open browser tabs, visible names in chat histories, or account details in the corner of a UI.
This tool is optimized for screenshots specifically. You can blur passwords, emails, usernames, phone numbers, or any other visible text before sending the image anywhere.
All processing happens in your browser. Your screenshot never leaves your device. Download the blurred version and share that instead of the original.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
How strong is the blur effect?
The blur is strong enough to make text unreadable. If you need maximum certainty, use Black Box instead.
Can I blur specific words without affecting the rest?
Yes. Drag a tight box around only the text you want to blur. You can be as precise as needed.
Will the blur look natural or obvious?
The blur creates a smooth frosted-glass effect. It is clear that something is hidden while the rest of the image remains readable.
Can I blur multiple areas?
Yes. Each drag adds a new blurred region. You can add as many as you need.
Does this work with screenshots from any app?
Yes. Screenshots from browsers, chat apps, emails, documents, and other interfaces all work.
What is the difference between blurring text in a screenshot versus a photo?
There is no difference from the tool's perspective. It works on screenshots, photos, scanned documents, and other image types.
Can I blur a username or handle visible in a screenshot?
Yes. Draw a selection over usernames, handles, email addresses, real names, or any other text you want to hide.
Does blurring reduce the image quality?
Only the selected area is affected. The rest of the screenshot remains at full quality. The downloaded PNG is lossless.
Can I blur the same area multiple times for a stronger effect?
One pass is usually enough. For absolute certainty, switch to Black Box mode which replaces the area with solid black.
