Classified is a privacy photo editor that hides faces, text, and anything you want in your pictures — fast and at full resolution. One tap AI auto-detect The Vision framework finds faces and recognizable text in your photo and masks them automatically. Tap to refine, add, or remove a mask. No manual outlining needed. Four masking styles - Mosaic pixelation, from fine to coarse. - Gaussian blur, from soft to heavy. - Solid black, white, or gold brush to cover license plates, QR codes, and IDs. - Eraser to fine-tune any mask edge. Real camera or your album Shoot inside the app or import any photo. The original aspect ratio is always preserved, so a portrait stays a portrait and a landscape stays a landscape. Zoom in to edit small details like a name on a badge. Full-resolution output No downscaling, no watermarks. The saved image keeps the original size of your camera or imported file. Pro editing tools Brush size slider, intensity slider, two-finger zoom and pan, undo and redo with haptics, and a separate eraser layer so you never destroy the original. Every step is reversible. New appearance mode Switch between light, dark, and auto with one tap, right on the camera screen. The whole interface follows your choice.

About

Snap Censor

Features
Read full description

Snap Censor is a minimal, privacy-first screenshot censoring tool. iOS Markup has no real mosaic — hiding private info means painting over it crudely. Snap Censor does it in two steps: box or brush over the area, then save. CORE FEATURES • Censor: drag a box, or use Brush to paint over anything and Eraser to wipe it back. Mosaic or solid block, adjustable strength and brush size, undo/redo. Long images scroll and zoom with two fingers while you censor. • Stitch long screenshots: multi-select screenshots, mark the fixed bars at the top and bottom, and overlaps are detected and removed into one clean long image. Choose which to include, reorder, and fine-tune any seam by hand. • Recording → Long Image: iOS doesn't let third-party apps auto-scroll other apps, so you scroll while screen-recording. Start recording from the app, tap the notification to come back when you stop, pick the clip, and the long image is built — works with any app. • Share extension: censor right from the system share sheet, then Save & Close to save to Photos. • Export: save to Photos, copy, or share — EXIF/GPS metadata is stripped automatically. PRIVACY FIRST • Everything is processed on your device. The app requests no network access. • No data is collected or uploaded. • Uses heavy pixelation or solid blocks only (not light blur that can be reversed). • Notifications are only used to bring you back when a recording finishes. They are generated on-device; no server is involved. Available in English, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese.
