How to blur an image in three steps

1. 1

   Open your image

   Pick a photo or screenshot from your phone or computer, or paste one on desktop. The file stays in this browser tab — it is never uploaded.

2. 2

   Blur the part you want hidden

   Blur is already selected. Drag a box over a face or a name, or switch to Draw to brush around an odd shape. Use Black bar for emails, phone numbers, and card digits.

3. 3

   Download the PNG

   Save redacted.png and share that copy instead of the original. Clear image, or just closing the tab, drops your photo from memory.
