About this app

Photo Blur hides what should not be seen in a photo: faces, the background, a licence plate, a name on a document, a screen, an address. Faces and backgrounds are detected on your phone, your photos are edited on it, and there is no account.

BLUR FACES IN ONE TAP
Tap Find faces and every face in the photo is found on the device, outlined for a moment so you can check none were missed, then blurred, pixelated or covered with mosaic. Drag the strength slider to make it softer or stronger.

BLUR THE BACKGROUND
Keep the person or object sharp and soften everything behind them, for a portrait look or to hide where a photo was taken.

CENSOR ANY DETAIL BY HAND
• Brush: paint over text, plates or small details. A loupe above your finger shows exactly what is under it, and a circle shows the brush size.
• Shapes: drag a rectangle or an ellipse over a document, a screen or a sign.
• Three styles: blur, pixelate and mosaic. Pixelate and mosaic replace detail with solid blocks, which is what censoring text needs.
• Undo and redo every step.

SAVES AT FULL SIZE
Your edit is applied to the original photo at its full resolution, and the save screen shows the exact size it was saved at. The original stays untouched. The saved copy carries no location or camera data, so a photo you blurred for privacy does not give away where it was taken.

NO INTERRUPTIONS WHILE YOU EDIT
The editing screen stays clear, so nothing interrupts an edit. Two optional effects, tilt-shift and lens blur, can be unlocked by watching a short video when you want them. Blurring, pixelating and saving never need one.

Photo Blur uses the Android photo picker, so it never asks for access to your whole photo library.

What’s new

- A Lens blur or Tilt-shift video can no longer pop up over a save or change a saved photo.
- Lens blur checks for a subject first, so you never watch a video for nothing.
- Tapping Choose photo twice no longer shows a false "could not be opened" error.
- Showing all faces again no longer lets the strength slider soften an earlier edit.
- Picked photos are cleaned up when you leave.
- Clearer message if an older phone needs save permission.
