Pixel Privacy pixelates faces and license plates in your photos — automatically, and without ever letting an image leave your iPhone. YOUR DEVICE, YOUR PHOTO All detection and image processing runs locally on your iPhone, powered by Apple's on-device Vision framework. No cloud, no server, no trackers, no account — not a single photo ever leaves your device. WHAT IT DOES • Detects faces automatically • Detects license plates worldwide • Pixelates detected areas with a single tap • Manual correction: drag with your finger to add areas to pixelate, or double-tap to remove automatic detections • Optionally saves originals to your library before processing • Shares the anonymized photo directly from the app • Light, Dark, and System themes WHO IT'S FOR • Parents posting family photos on social networks • Journalists and activists protecting their sources • Sellers on classifieds platforms uploading car photos • Anyone who values privacy and doesn't want to entrust their most personal images to just any cloud app PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No internet connection required • No data collection, no telemetry • No ads, no in-app purchases, no subscriptions • Open-source components transparently documented Pixel Privacy is the easiest way to protect faces and license plates before you share a photo — and all of it without anyone but you ever seeing the original.

The clearest difference is price: Pixel Privacy at $0.99 against PreRecCam's $7.99. PreRecCam's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
