How it works
Three steps. No editing timeline.
Upload your video, choose what to blur, and download your result. No signup, no plugins, no app to install.
Choose what to blur
Automatic detection supports faces and license plates. For other regions, draw a box manually; manual regions stay at the selected position for the full video.
Preview and export
Adjust blur strength and style, scrub the preview, then export a clean file — ready to publish, with no watermark burned into the frame.
Motion tracking
The blur follows the subject, frame by frame
AutoBlur's AI automatically tracks moving objects, faces and vehicles. You do not need to manually mask every frame — the motion-aware tracker keeps the blur locked onto the subject as it moves.

Versus doing it in a video editor
Traditional software can blur a region — but you place and keyframe every mask yourself.
| Task | AutoBlur | Traditional editor |
|---|---|---|
| Finding faces | Automatic AI detection | Spot them yourself, frame by frame |
| Moving subjects | Tracked across the clip | Manual keyframes on every mask |
| License plates | Purpose-trained detector | Hand-drawn masks |
| Background blur | Subject-aware, no green screen | Rotoscoping or chroma key |
| Setup | Open a browser tab | Install, licence, learn the timeline |
| Where your file goes | Stays in your browser | Cloud renders on many web tools |
| Watermark | None | Common on free tiers |

FAQ
Questions people ask before uploading
Is AutoBlur really free?
Free local video processing. Review detected faces and plates, add manual regions and check the complete export. Speed and capacity depend on your device.
Do you upload or store my video?
No. AutoBlur leverages advanced client-side technology to process videos securely — files are processed locally in your browser and are never uploaded or stored permanently on external servers. When you close the tab, the working copy goes with it.
What can I blur?
Faces (auto-detected by AI), backgrounds, license plates, text, logos and any custom object you select. The AI tracks moving elements throughout the video, so the blur follows the subject instead of requiring keyframes.
Does it handle more than one face?
Free local video processing. Review detected faces and plates, add manual regions and check the complete export. Speed and capacity depend on your device.
Which file formats are supported?
Choose a video your browser can play. Preview masks and export locally using the format supported by your browser. Still images are not supported.
Is there a watermark on the export?
No watermark on any tier. The blur itself is rendered into the pixels of the exported file, so it can't be removed or peeled off afterwards.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
Neither. AutoBlur is a completely web-based tool: upload any video or image, pick a blur tool and apply pixelation or blur instantly inside your browser, with no apps, plugins or signup.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. AutoBlur is fully responsive and optimised for mobile browsers, so you can blur a video background or pixelate faces directly on an iPhone, iPad or Android device.
Can I control how strong the blur is?
Yes — adjust blur strength for anything from a subtle depth-of-field effect to a stronger bokeh-style background, and switch between gaussian blur, mosaic, pixelation and a solid block.
What if the AI misses something?
Draw a box around it yourself. Manual regions are tracked exactly like detected ones, so a missed plate or a house number stays covered as the camera moves.
