Censor photo online FAQ

Can I censor a photo for free?

Yes. The free tier lets you censor photos in your browser — no watermark on exports.

Blur, pixelation or black bar: which should I use?

Blur looks natural, pixelation is the classic censor style, and a solid black bar is irreversible by design. All three are available on any zone.

Can it censor text or documents?

Yes. Draw a zone over names, addresses or any text and apply a mask — useful for screenshots, IDs and paperwork.

Is the censoring reversible?

No. The effect is burned into the exported image; the original stays on your side.

Are my photos kept private?

Files are processed on EU-hosted infrastructure, encrypted in transit, and never used to train AI models.
