Hide faces, license plates and sensitive data in any photo. Draw a box over a region, then blur, pixelate or black it out. Everything runs in your browser, so your image never leaves your device: no upload, no signup, no trace.
100% in your browser. Your image never leaves your device. No upload, no signup. Faces, plates and sensitive data are censored locally and saved straight to your disk.

JPG, PNG, WebP · processed entirely in your browser
Open your image
Drag and drop a JPG, PNG or WebP onto the editor, or click to browse. The image is loaded into the browser only · nothing is uploaded anywhere.
Draw over what you want to hide
Drag a rectangle over each face, license plate or piece of sensitive text. Add as many regions as you need, and remove any with one click or undo the last.
Choose blur, pixelate or block, then download
Pick a censor style and set the intensity. Hit download to save a JPG or PNG with the regions permanently censored into the pixels.
Need to scrub hidden GPS coordinates and camera info too? Strip the EXIF metadata after censoring so the file shares nothing extra. Remove EXIF data
Your image never leaves your device. Every blur, pixel and block is rendered locally with the Canvas API. Nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by SammaPix or anyone else.
Pick the censor style per job: a soft Gaussian blur, a mosaic pixelation, or a solid black or white block. An intensity slider controls how strong the effect is.
The censored pixels are baked into the exported file, not laid over it as an overlay. The original data is genuinely gone, so it cannot be recovered from the download.
A soft, natural-looking smear. Ideal for faces in candid photos where you want to hide identity without an obvious black box.
A mosaic of large squares, the classic TV-style censor. Reads clearly as redaction and works well for faces and plates alike.
A solid black or white rectangle. The strongest option, best for text, IBANs, addresses and document numbers you must fully hide.
Whether you are posting a street photo, a car listing, a screenshot or a document, there is almost always something you should hide before it goes public: a stranger's face, a number plate, a home address, a bank detail. The SammaPix Blur & Censor tool lets you drag a box over each of those regions and censor them with a blur, a pixelation or a solid block, then download the result in seconds.
The key difference from many online blur tools is that nothing is uploaded. People censoring sensitive images, by definition, do not want to hand those images to a server. SammaPix runs everything in your browser with the Canvas API, so the photo is read locally, edited locally, and saved locally. No account, no upload, no copy left behind.
A surprising number of redaction methods are reversible. Drawing a semi-transparent shape, lowering opacity, or laying a mask in a tool that keeps layers can all leave the original pixels intact underneath. SammaPix avoids this entirely: when you download, the blur, pixelation or block is rendered directly into the image bitmap before the file is written. There is no separate layer and no hidden original, so the censored area cannot be peeled back.
Censoring the visible content is half the job. Photos also carry EXIF metadata, which can include the GPS coordinates where a shot was taken and the device that took it. After you blur or block the sensitive regions, run the file through the EXIF remover to scrub that hidden data so the image you share gives away nothing at all.
No upload happens. The entire tool runs inside your browser using the Canvas API. Your image is read from disk into browser memory, censored locally, and saved straight back to your disk. No bytes travel over the network, so neither SammaPix nor anyone else ever sees your photo. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tool still works.
No. Unlike a CSS overlay or a separate mask layer, this tool destroys the underlying pixels in the actual exported bitmap. The blur, pixelation or block is rendered directly into the image data before the file is saved, so there is no hidden original to recover. For a solid block the area becomes a flat fill; for blur and pixelate the source detail is downscaled away. Use a strong setting or a black block for the most sensitive data.
Blur smears the region with a soft Gaussian effect, useful for faces where you still want a natural look. Pixelate replaces the region with large mosaic squares, a familiar TV-style censor that reads clearly as redaction. Block fills the region with a solid color (black or white), the strongest and most unambiguous option for text, IBANs, addresses or document numbers.
Yes. The editor supports touch, so you can drag rectangles over faces, plates or text directly on a phone or tablet screen. Very large images may use more memory on mobile, but typical photos from a phone camera work smoothly.
Yes, fully free. There is no signup, no watermark and no limit on how many images you censor. Because everything runs in your browser, there are no server costs to pass on, so the tool stays free.
Yes. Blurring or pixelating faces and license plates are the two most common uses. Drag a rectangle over each face or plate, choose blur or pixelate, set the intensity, and download. For documents you can use the block mode to black out names, numbers and addresses before sharing.
