Photo Censor

About Photo Censor

Photo Censor lets you quickly obscure specific areas of an image before sharing it. In the digital age, sharing screenshots, photos, and documents is part of daily life — but these often contain personal information that shouldn't be made public: faces, names, phone numbers, addresses, account details, and more. Photo Censor lets you drag to select the area to hide directly in the browser, then apply mosaic or blur in one click to protect privacy.

All image processing happens locally in your browser — photos are never sent to any server. You can select multiple areas in a single image, each with its own effect, and download the complete censored image when done.

Two Censoring Effects

• Mosaic (pixelate): Divides the selected area into visible blocks, creating the classic pixelated mosaic effect. Best for situations where you want to clearly signal "this area is censored," such as news articles or social media posts
• Blur (Gaussian blur): Applies a Gaussian blur to the selected area for a more natural visual effect. Best when you prefer not to draw attention to the censoring

Common Use Cases

Tech support staff redact usernames, emails, or API keys visible in bug report screenshots before submitting to external teams. Regular users blur bystanders' faces when sharing photos on social media. Office workers censor confidential client names, contract values, or internal system data before sharing work screenshots. Journalists obscure the identities of people in photos who haven't consented to publication. Healthcare professionals hide patient-identifying information when sharing medical case images to comply with privacy regulations.
