Auto Video Blur is an iPhone app that uses AI to automatically detect faces, eyes, mouths, people (full body) and text in your videos, then blurs or pixelates them. Just pick a video and tap what to hide, with no need to mark areas frame by frame. Blur kids' faces, censor strangers who wander into the shot, and hide name tags or addresses before posting to social media or video sites. The core features are free. All detection and editing happens on your iPhone, and your videos are never uploaded to a server. Saved videos have no logo or watermark. GREAT FOR • Blurring other kids' faces in videos from field day or a dance recital before sharing them online • Blurring the faces of people who prefer not to be shown (Pro) • Blurring strangers' faces in travel vlogs and street footage • Hiding text caught on camera, like name tags, house numbers, addresses, license plates and signs • Hiding names and messages in screen recordings • Blurring only the background so people stand out (Pro) • Covering faces with cute emoji stickers KEY FEATURES ■ What the AI detects automatically • Face • Eyes (cover just the eyes) • Mouth • People (full body) • Text (signs, license plates, on-screen text) • All (apply a filter to the whole video) Detection runs on every frame, so the blur follows its target even when people or the camera move. ■ Choose People to Hide Blur selected faces and keep others visible. Confirm the same person in other scenes as needed. Scenes awaiting review keep all detected faces blurred. Try selection and preview for free; saving requires Pro. ■ 30 ways to hide (filters) Pixelate, Blur, Sparkle, Monochrome, Motion H, Motion V, Motion D, Zoom, Crystallize, Hexagonal, Triangle, Pointillize, Halftone, Dither, CRT, VHS, Holo, Sketch, Painting, Woodcut, Edges, Rain Glass, Liquid, Prism, Chromatic Aberration, Double, Saturation, Sepia, Posterize, Duotone.

Stickers move with each face, and you can resize them. ■ Manually select blur area Drag on the preview to draw a box, and that area stays hidden from start to finish. A handy backup for anything auto-detection misses. ■ Fine-tuning • Padding: enlarge the hidden area so nothing peeks out • Edge blur: soften the border of the hidden area • Invert area: hide everything except what was detected (Pro) • Multiple targets at once, e.g. faces and text together (Pro) ■ Editing and saving • Trim: keep only the part you need • Audio on/off • Quality: 720p / 1080p / 4K (4K is Pro).

Are my videos sent over the internet? A. No. Detection and editing happen on your iPhone. Q. What if something isn't hidden automatically? A. Add a box with "Manually select blur area" to hide it on top of auto-detection. Faces in profile, small faces and dark scenes are harder to detect, so check the preview first. Q. Can it hide license plates and text on signs? A. Yes. Choose "Text" as the target. To hide text together with faces, turn on "Also blur text". REQUIREMENTS iPhone with iOS 17 or later
