What Blur Image does
Use Blur Image when you need to blur names, addresses, screens, or license plates before sharing a screenshot or photo.
When to use it
- Blur names, addresses, screens, or license plates before sharing a screenshot or photo.
- Soften a background behind text or annotations.
- Create quick anonymized visuals for documentation.
How to use it
- Add the image and choose the blur strength.
- Apply blur to the whole image or selected area where supported.
- Export and zoom in to confirm sensitive details are not readable.
What to check
- Blur is visual masking, not cryptographic redaction.
- For highly sensitive data, crop or cover details instead of relying only on blur.
