Ratings and reviews

PrivacyBlur is a convenient, simple and easy-to-use open-source app for blurring or pixelating images. The app is straightforward with a simple UI and no ads to clutter the experience. My only suggestion is that the blur function, even on maximum, isn't intense enough (the pixelate feature could be stronger too). Other than that, a very neat app to have on your phone.

Love the concept but the usability is limited. I wanted to redact text but the box is too large and cannot be resized. I can adjust the size before placing but you are guessing and are still limited to a square. I'd prefer to have the option to redact with black rather than a pixelation.

Results are good but the UI is a bit finicky. Doesn't always register when I grab the resize handle. Sometimes it will move the box, sometimes will resize, sometimes will make a whole new box. Auto face detect works well.
