## What is Blur Guard?

Control what stays visible in your videos. Import from Photos or Files, add blur regions and place them over the areas you want to hide. Adjust each region’s shape, size, strength and time range.

Follow a subject with local tracking, then review the timeline and move or resize the blur to correct its path. Play the whole video to check the result. Projects save your edits automatically so you can return and refine them. Help and a six-step tutorial explain the real editor.

Editing and preview are free. Pro is a one-time purchase that unlocks final video export, saving and sharing. Already purchased Pro? Use Restore Purchases with the Apple Account used for your purchase. Always review the full result before sharing.

### 1/5 — Rubbish

*2021-08-17, version 3.1.12*

I paid for the pro version and every time I click create project, it crashes. I went to click Provide Feedback and guess what… it crashes. The contact form the website isn’t secure so I give up on this. Don’t waste your money.

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2021-07-31, version 3.1.12*

DO NOT!! Download this app it’s downloads the video and stuff and imports it but when you click on create project it just boots you out of the app completely I don’t don’t if this just happened to me or other people have this problem as well but in my opinion it’s not worth it waste of time do not download

## Frequently asked questions about Blur Guard

### What does Blur Video Spot do?

Blur Video Spot allows you to create projects to blur moving objects within your videos. It automatically calculates the movement speed between points, enabling you to hide faces, license plates, or other sensitive information. You can then save and share your edited videos.

### How do I use the app to blur a video?

To use the app, play your video to the desired position, touch the area you want to blur, and choose the blur type and size. Let the video play, and reposition the blur as needed when the object moves out of the blurred area. Repeat this process and then preview and save your final video.

### Is Blur Video Spot free to use?

The app is free to download and use, but it offers a Pro version via an in-app purchase. The Pro version removes watermarks and allows you to import video clips up to 5 minutes long.

### What kind of videos work best with this app?

For the best results, it is recommended to import videos that were recorded with your device's camera. Videos from other sources may sometimes lead to unexpected results due to variations in video encoding or quality.

### What are the main benefits of using this app?

The primary benefits include protecting the identity of children or individuals, hiding license plates on vehicles, and generally censoring any information you wish to keep private in your video content. It offers a straightforward way to add blur effects to moving elements.
