How to use Image Blur & Pixelate Redactor with a clear next step.
Use Image Blur & Pixelate Redactor to hide names, faces, plates, or sensitive text before sharing an image. Blur, pixelate, or black out sensitive regions in a photo locally. Stay in this tab, give the page only the input it asks for, inspect the live result, then copy or download it. Keep the original until the new file, text, or figure checks out.
A licence plate can remain readable at its edge when a small blur box covers only the centre. Compare the result at full resolution, not just the small preview, and inspect any text that must no longer be identifiable. Blur and pixelation reduce visible detail but should not be assumed to provide irreversible removal in every situation. Use a solid cover or an appropriate content-removal process when the context requires stronger exclusion. If the exported image leaves part of a region visible, return to the source and enlarge the selected area instead of repeatedly applying weak blur. Check the rest of the photograph for faces, badges and location clues. Keep the original privately and share only the version whose visible contents and metadata have been reviewed.
