Blur Before Share
Hide faces, names, addresses, and license plates with blur, mosaic, or black before you share a photo. Everything runs on your device.
Overview
Blur Before Share hides faces, names, addresses, license plates, and anything else you do not want to show, right before you share a photo. Draw with your finger over the parts to hide, pick an effect, and save or share the result. Your original photo is never changed.
Pick the effect that fits what you are hiding: blur to softly hide faces and backgrounds, mosaic with large pixel blocks that keep the photo looking natural, or a solid black cover, the surest choice for text. You can mix all three in one photo. When you open a photo, Cover Faces finds faces on your device and covers them automatically; tap the × to uncover any one of them.
The copy you save or share is re-rendered from scratch, so it carries no location (GPS) or camera metadata from the original. There is no account, no upload, and no ads. Every tool is free, and you can save or share up to 3 blurred photos a day for free. Blur Before Share Pro removes the daily limit. The app is available in 25 languages.
