Before you start
- Work from a copy and identify every face, license plate, address, or document detail to protect.
- Choose the smallest edit that still prevents identification in the final context.

Blur faces, pixelate license plates, cover private details, and remove photo metadata locally in your browser. No upload required.
Your photo stays on this deviceThe original image is decoded, edited, and exported locally. Nothing is uploaded to MV Tools.
Create a protected copy, then verify it
Work on a copy and inspect the exported file—not only the editor preview—before you share it.
- Use solid cover for highly sensitive text, codes, account details, addresses, and IDs. Blur and mosaic are not a guarantee that content cannot be inferred.
- Make each mark larger than the item it protects, including a margin around its edges.
- Export a new PNG, JPG, or WebP copy, then zoom into every protected area before sending.
This editor handles one JPG, PNG, or WebP image up to 30 MB and 40 megapixels locally in your browser. Exporting re-encodes the image without its original EXIF, GPS, and other metadata; nothing is uploaded to MV Tools.
How to Share Photos Without Exposing Private DetailsReview privacy edits before publishing
Check the result
- Zoom in to ensure blur, pixelation, or masking fully covers the sensitive area.
- Check for location metadata and review the exported file before sharing.
Know the limit: Privacy protection depends on the final image and context; do not publish until you have manually checked it.
Blur, Pixelate, and Cover Sensitive Areas in Photos
Protect faces, license plates, addresses, screenshots, and private details locally before sharing a photo.
What This Tool Does
The browser draws privacy marks into a local canvas and re-encodes the result. Use pixelation, blur, or a solid cover, rotate the image, and export a new file without the original metadata.
Common Use Cases
- Blur faces and children before sharing event or travel photos
- Pixelate license plates, badges, addresses, and order numbers
- Cover private details in screenshots before posting them publicly
- Remove EXIF and GPS metadata when creating a shareable copy
How Data Is Handled
The original image and edited pixels are processed locally in your browser and are not uploaded to MV Tools. Export creates a new image without the source EXIF, GPS, or other metadata.
FAQ
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The image is decoded, edited, and exported in your browser. MV Tools does not receive the original photo.
Is blur or pixelation enough for highly sensitive information?
For highly sensitive text or identity details, use a solid cover. It permanently replaces the selected pixels in the exported image.
Does the export keep GPS and EXIF metadata?
No. The image is re-encoded as a new PNG, JPG, or WebP file without the original metadata.
Can I undo a privacy mark?
Yes. Use undo and redo while editing, or reset the image to remove all marks and rotation.
