PixelBlocker censors NSFW images and videos in real time, in Safari and in its own built-in browser, before they ever load fully on screen. Every detection runs on your iPhone. Your images and videos are never uploaded. No account, no tracking. NEW IN 1.6 • A built-in browser with the censor built in • Media Studio: censors your photos and videos for you • Full-body silhouettes from our own newly trained body model • Eye bars that turn with the face • A newly trained model, with new switches for hands, each eye, nose and mouth • Censoring that stays locked to images while you scroll • Up to 54 detections a second on iPhone 17 Pro WHAT IT DOES • Scans every image and video on the pages you open • 25 filter targets, from body parts to whole-body silhouettes • 18 censor styles • Censor entire media: any detection covers the whole photo or video, not just the detected area (Premium) • Reverse censor: blur the whole screen and see through only the regions it detects, with optional borders (Premium) • Videos the filter cannot read are fully covered instead of playing clear • Blocks navigation to NSFW domains entirely (editing the list needs Basic) MEDIA STUDIO • Censor a photo or video from your library. Nothing is uploaded and your original is never changed • Reads the whole clip first, so the boxes never trail behind • Fills the gaps when detection blinks and cleans up stray boxes • Fine-tune by hand: drag, resize or turn any box, draw one it missed, or change the look partway through • Photos are free. Video and Review and edit need Premium HOW YOU CONFIGURE IT • Pick what to filter: lower body, chest, buttocks, anus, faces, midriff, feet, underarms, eyes (one bar or each eye), nose, mouth, hands, whole body, and covered variants • Choose the look: Pixelated, Blur and Solid, plus Color Fill, Invert, Glitch, TV Static, Scanline, Spotlight, Cinema, Buffering, CRT, Dither, Chroma, ASCII, No Signal, BSOD and Frosted (Basic) • Custom text overlays per target (Basic) • Border style and padding per target (some border styles need Basic) • Save your favourite configurations as named presets (Basic) ADVANCED SAFETY FEATURES • Partner lock (Premium): a person you trust holds the key. Your settings lock the moment you turn it on, and switching it off needs a one-time code sent to their email, never yours. Their address is never stored, and a 7-day emergency reset covers you if they become unreachable. • Self-lock (Basic): password-protect Settings so you can't disable the filter on impulse • Challenge Mode (Basic): answer a trivia question to reveal a censored region briefly, refreshed daily • Only-Once Mode (Basic): any image you've blocked stays blocked forever, even if the detector misses it next time • 24-hour reset countdown if you forget the password, no shortcut LANGUAGES PixelBlocker is available in 10 languages.
