Protect privacy in your videos effortlessly with our powerful editing tool. Import videos directly from your Photo Library or Files and let the app automatically detect and hide sensitive areas. Whether it's faces, full bodies, feet, text, or even backgrounds, you stay in full control with flexible filtering options. Every face is tracked through the video, so you choose who stays visible. Hide license plates, phone numbers, emails, card numbers or any other text. For anything else, draw a box over a fixed area like a logo, or let it follow a moving object. Apply pixelation or blur effects, or cover each face with its own emoji. Fine-tune the intensity, and even choose specific time ranges within your video to apply filters—perfect for precise editing without affecting the entire clip. All processing is done entirely on your device, ensuring your data stays private and secure. Export your videos in the same high quality as the original, including Full HD. Exports keep the original's file format, HDR, Spatial Audio and Cinematic mode, and you choose whether to keep the creation date, location and camera details.

About

Simple Video Blur

Read full description

Simple Video Blur hides what you don't want to show in a video, and lets you add your own mark where you do want it seen. Cover a face, a license plate, a screen or a passer-by, let tracking follow the subject, and export a clean video ready to share. Everything runs on your device. No account, no uploads, no servers touching your video. HIDE ANYTHING • Up to 10 zones per video, in 10 shapes: ellipse, rectangle, rounded rectangle, capsule, diamond, triangle, hexagon, octagon, star and heart. • Four effects: smooth blur, pixelate, emoji, or a solid color to fully redact. • Open Detect, choose Faces or Plates, and cover them in the current frame in one step. Plate detection is a helper, so check the result before exporting. • Blur the background and keep people sharp, using on-device person detection. • Adjust intensity, opacity and edge softness. Add fade in and fade out, invert a zone, duplicate it, rename it or hide it. TRACK MOVEMENT • Tracking follows a moving subject and keeps the zone on it. • Keyframes give you full control. Move or resize a zone and a keyframe is created automatically. • Keyframe preview jumps from one keyframe to the next so you can check the motion without playing the whole clip. YOUR OWN WATERMARK (PRO) • Add text or an image on top of the video. • Text options: fonts, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, color, opacity, outline, shadow, tiling and mirroring. • Place it in front of everything, behind people, or behind any foreground subject. • Move, resize and track it like any other zone. AUDIO (PRO) • Change the track volume, or split it into segments. • Give each segment its own volume, mute and fade in/out. • Muting the whole track is free on every plan. A TIMELINE MADE FOR THIS • Video thumbnails, audio waveform, one track per zone with handles for start and end. • Trim a zone or the background blur exactly at the playhead. • Undo and redo, and your project is saved automatically. EXPORT • Original, 1080p or 720p. High quality H.264 MP4, and vertical videos stay vertical. • Save to Photos or Files, or share directly. • Export continues in the background on iPad with an M3 chip or newer, with progress on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Processing happens on your device with Apple's Vision, Core Image and AVFoundation frameworks. • No ads, no analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs. AVAILABLE IN 16 LANGUAGES English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Português (Brasil), Italiano, 日本語, 한국어, 简体中文, 繁體中文, Türkçe, Nederlands, Polski, Bahasa Indonesia, Tiếng Việt and हिन्दी.
