## What is Lumask?

Every photo you share can reveal more than you intend — a face in the background, a phone number on a delivery box, a license plate, a card on a desk.

Lumask finds personal information in your photos and masks it in seconds, entirely on your device.

AUTOMATIC DETECTION
• Faces
• Phone numbers, email addresses, URLs
• ID numbers and passport MRZ lines (formats from 35+ countries)
• Credit card and bank account numbers (IBAN)
• License plates (Korea, Europe, US, Japan, China and more)
• QR codes and barcodes

Detected items appear as regions you can review — keep what's fine, mask what's not.

Detection coverage keeps growing: new countries and formats are added with regular updates.

MASKING TOOLS
• Pixelate, hexagon pixel, blur, or emoji stickers
• Manual rectangle and brush for anything else
• Per-region style, intensity and size controls
• Undo / redo at every step

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
All detection, masking and saving happen 100% on your device. Your photos are never uploaded. No account, no sign-up. The internet is used only for App Store purchases and, in the free version, ads.

CLEAN METADATA (PRO)
Photos carry hidden metadata — GPS location, capture time, camera details. Lumask Pro strips or edits it on save, so the file itself stops talking about you.

FREE VS PRO
Free: automatic face detection, unlimited manual masking (rectangle, brush, emoji), text watermark, one photo at a time, with ads.
Pro (one-time purchase, yours forever): every automatic detection category, metadata removal and editing, image watermarks, up to 10 photos at once, and no ads.

Your photos have stories. Share only the parts you choose.
