FAQ

When should I use blur vs pixelate?

Use blur for a softer, more natural look suitable for backgrounds and faces. Use pixelate for a stronger censorship effect that's harder to reverse-engineer, ideal for sensitive text and data.

Can blurred images be unblurred?

No. Once you download the blurred image, the original pixel data is permanently destroyed. The blurring cannot be reversed. Always keep your original files safe.

What should I blur in screenshots?

Common items to blur: email addresses, phone numbers, usernames, profile pictures, license plates, street addresses, credit card numbers, API keys, and any personally identifiable information.

Can I undo a blur stroke?

Yes! The tool maintains your edit history while you're working. Use the undo button to remove your last brush stroke. However, once you download, changes are permanent.

What's the best intensity for privacy?

For maximum privacy protection, use high intensity (80-100%). For aesthetic blurring like background defocus, lower intensities (30-50%) work well.

Why does it save as PNG?

PNG preserves the exact pixels without compression artifacts. JPG compression can create visible edges around blurred areas. PNG ensures your privacy edits look clean and professional.
