## What is PlateGuard?

Hide license plates, faces, QR codes and addresses in one tap — before you post.

PlateGuard auto-detects license plates, faces, QR/barcodes and sensitive text (phone numbers, addresses, tracking codes) in your photos and lets you mask them with fill, blur, mosaic, emoji stamp, or a stylish "PRIVATE" plate replacement — a free photo editor designed for the moments before you list or share.

Marketplace listings (Mercari, eBay, Yahoo Auctions, Facebook Marketplace), social car shots (Instagram, X, TikTok), YouTube thumbnails, dealer inventory pages, blog reviews — the "one extra step before posting" should never be a chore again.

■ What it does
• Auto-detects plates, faces, QR/barcodes, and sensitive text
• 5 mask modes — fill, blur, mosaic, emoji stamp, PRIVATE plate replace
• Different mask per region (e.g. blur the face, replace the plate)
• Guide box appears even when auto-detect fails — just drag it
• Tap-to-refine, drag corners, re-detect, delete false positives
• Batch process multiple photos at once (rewarded-ad unlock)
• Strips GPS and other EXIF metadata on save
• Post-save audit report so nothing slips through

■ Use cases
• Hide plates before listing on Mercari, eBay, Facebook Marketplace
• Post car photos on Instagram or X without revealing the plate
• Send shipping labels or QR-coded tickets to friends
• Mask other cars and faces that crept into family photos
• Bulk-process YouTube/blog material in one go
• Pre-share check on rental viewing photos with visible addresses

■ Why PlateGuard
• 100% on-device — your photos never leave your iPhone
• GPS metadata stripped automatically on save
• Free, no signup, no tracking
• One app for plates AND faces AND QR AND addresses

Everything runs on your iPhone. No uploads. No accounts. No tracking.


## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 2.2.0 — 2026-05-09

Version 2.2.0 — Faster, less guesswork

• When auto-detect can't find a plate, the editor now centres a guide box and walks you through dragging it into place on first use.
• Save button is pinned to the bottom of the screen — always one tap away, no matter how far you've scrolled the controls.
• Fixed photo library permission edge cases that left some users staring at a blank picker.
• Sharper internal funnel telemetry (no change to our on-device-only privacy promise).

### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-24

■ Auto Photo Scan
  Your recent photos are automatically checked for license plates — no manual work needed.

  ■ Privacy Alerts
  Get notified when new photos contain plates, so you can act before sharing on social media.

  ■ Dedicated Album
  Saved photos are organized in a "PlateGuard" album in your library for easy access.

  ■ Smoother Workflow
  The app returns to the home screen after saving or sharing, so you can quickly move on to the next photo.

### 1.1.0 — 2026-03-20

• Adjustable blur strength slider — from subtle to strong
  • Undo & Redo — edit with confidence
  • Fine-tune plate coverage by dragging the 4 corner handles
  • PlateGuard branding on saved photos

  Didn't detect the plate correctly? Just drag the corners to adjust manually. Works great for angled plates too.
