Redact Photo Online Free—Blur Faces, License Plates & Text

Short answer: Upload a photo, draw blur, pixelate, or solid black boxes over faces, license plates (number plates), IDs, or text, then download. This free image redaction tool runs in your browser—nothing is uploaded—and exports strip EXIF/GPS.

Hide faces, license plates, IDs, screenshots, and private text before sharing. Use pixelation or solid blocks for stronger privacy than soft blur. Files stay on your device, and EXIF/GPS is removed on export.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Will my images be uploaded?

No. All redaction runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Solid vs Pixelate – what's the difference?

Solid covers the area with a black block (irreversible). Pixelate creates mosaic blocks to hide details while preserving rough shapes.

How strong is pixelation and how to adjust it?

Use Strength: Strong, Stronger, or Extreme. Extreme applies the strongest pixelation for best privacy. For critical areas (eyes, ID), apply multiple boxes or switch to Solid.

Are EXIF/GPS and metadata removed?

Yes. Exporting re-encodes the image and removes EXIF/GPS metadata by default.

How do I import/export redaction presets?

Use Export JSON to save current boxes as relative coordinates. Use Import JSON to load and apply a preset on any image.

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Space toggles Solid/Pixelate. Delete/Backspace undo the last action.

What's next?

After masking sensitive areas, strip metadata and shrink the file before sharing.
