Blur faces, people and anything else in your videos, automatically, on your iPhone. Nothing is uploaded. TrackBlur finds faces with on-device AI and keeps the blur locked on as people and the camera move. You check everything on a timeline before a single frame is rendered. BLUR THAT FOLLOWS • Face blur: blur every face, or pick which people to hide and keep the rest visible • Motion tracking: draw a box around a logo, license plate, screen or username and it follows on its own • Keyframed regions: animate a blur path exactly where you want it • Privacy-first tracking: leans toward blurring a little too much rather than missing a frame • Blur, Pixelate, Cover or Highlight, in rectangle or oval shapes, set per track AUDIO & SUBTITLES • Auto subtitles: on-device transcription with a word-by-word karaoke highlight • Mute words: type the words to hide. TrackBlur finds them in the speech, mutes or beeps them, and masks them in the subtitles • Mute, beep or lower the volume on any part of the timeline TEXT & STICKERS • Text and stickers that follow a moving person or object • Text behind a person: titles sit between the subject and the background • Turn any photo into a sticker with one-tap background removal EDITOR • Multi-track timeline, frame-by-frame scrubbing and trimming • Animated zoom and speed changes • Full-resolution export, with HDR kept when you want it • Built for iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo: two-pane editing on the inner display, and a small editing desk in tabletop pose PRIVATE BY DESIGN All detection, transcription and rendering happens on your device. No account, no cloud, no ads, no analytics. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: all blur tools, subtitles, zoom and speed. Up to 3 exports a day, at up to 1080p, with a small watermark. Premium: unlimited exports at full resolution with no watermark, plus text, sticker tracking and effects, text behind a person, and audio censoring. Terms of use: https://trackblur.app/termsofuse
