Blur It hides faces in your photos and videos in one tap β€” and nothing ever leaves your iPhone. No account, no cloud, no upload. Every frame is processed on device, so your private moments stay private. WHAT YOU CAN DO - Auto face blur β€” AI finds every face in a photo or video and covers it instantly - Mosaic, pixelate or soft blur β€” pick the look you want - Emoji and sticker covers β€” playful instead of censored - Manual brush β€” trace over anything you want gone - Shape tools β€” rectangle and oval for precise censoring - Object tracking β€” follow a moving subject through the whole clip - Hide license plates, ID cards, addresses and chat names - Redact text in documents and screenshots before you share - Adjust blur strength and pixel size to taste BUILT FOR SHARING Export up to 4K in MP4 or MOV with metadata stripped, so location and device data never travel with your file. Share straight to Instagram, TikTok, Messages or anywhere else. PRIVACY, NOT JUST A PROMISE Most blur tools send your media to a server to process it. Blur It never does. There is no upload step, so there is nothing to leak β€” it even works in airplane mode. HOW IT WORKS 1. Pick a photo or video 2. Faces are detected automatically 3. Choose mosaic, blur or emoji 4.
