Hiding private details safely

Before sharing a photo online, it's often wise to hide identifying details — a stranger's face, a license plate, a house number, a document, or a screen. Pixelation and blur both obscure the area; stronger settings make it harder to reverse, so use a high strength on anything sensitive.

The most important safeguard is that this all happens in your browser — the whole point of censoring private information is defeated if the photo is uploaded to a server first. Here, nothing leaves your device.
