Why Blur Screenshots Before You Share?
A screenshot is rarely just a picture. A payment confirmation carries an account number. A boarding pass carries a barcode that unlocks your whole itinerary. A support chat carries the one-time code you pasted an hour ago. Most of it is information you never meant to send, sitting in plain sight in the corner of an image you shared without a second thought.
Blur scans a screenshot or photo, finds the sensitive parts automatically, and blurs them before it leaves your phone.
It Reads the Image, Not Just the Shapes
The difference between this and a generic blur brush is classification. On-device text and face recognition identify what each piece of content actually is - an identity number, a bank account, a one-time code, a boarding pass - and blur the right region automatically. You are not hunting for what to cover; you are reviewing what has already been covered.
Catch It Before You Share
Most leaks happen in the seconds between taking a screenshot and sending it. Turn on Screenshot Alerts and the app watches for new screenshots in the background. The moment you capture one containing sensitive information, you get a notification - before you have even opened your messaging app. The check runs entirely on your device, and the feature stays off until you enable it.
Review Before It Leaves
Automatic detection is a starting point, not a guarantee. Every flagged region is shown to you before export, so you can tap any you want to keep visible, or add areas the scan missed with the rectangle, oval, or brush tools. A before-and-after compare shows exactly what changed. Nothing is written until you export.
Complete On-Device Privacy
Every image is processed on your phone. No uploads, no analytics, no telemetry, no account. Exports also have their location and camera metadata stripped automatically, so a cleaned screenshot does not carry the coordinates of where you took it.
Questions & Answers
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the app upload my screenshots to the internet?
No. All detection and blurring happens entirely on your device. Your photos never leave your phone, there is no account, and there are no analytics or trackers. The only optional network request is a one-time download of the enhanced-detection model, which transfers the model file alone and never any of your images.
How is this different from apps that only blur faces?
Most editors give you a generic blur brush or face detection alone. This app reads the actual content of the image and classifies it, so it knows the difference between a phone number, a one-time code, a bank account, and a boarding pass, and blurs the right thing automatically.
What can it detect?
Faces, QR codes and barcodes, names, email addresses, phone numbers, URLs and IP addresses, OTPs and login codes, card and bank account numbers, Social Security numbers, driver's licence numbers, dates of birth, IBAN and passport numbers, UK National Insurance, Canadian SIN, Australian TFN and Medicare, Aadhaar, PAN and UPI IDs, crypto wallet addresses, and boarding pass and booking references.
Is the detection perfect?
No, and we say so in the app. Automatic detection can miss things or flag something you meant to keep, so you should always review the preview before sharing. You can add or remove any blurred area by hand.
Does it work offline?
Yes. All detection and blurring runs on-device with no connection required.
Is the app free?
The core features are free, including face, QR code, email, phone, URL, IP address and OTP/login code detection, all blur styles, strength control, before/after compare, and manual blur tools. A one-time Pro upgrade unlocks full identity and financial detection, batch mode, protection profiles, export history, and background Screenshot Alerts. There is no subscription.
