Styles
Four ways to cover a region
Review the whole exported video before sharing. Automatic detection can miss regions; use manual masks where needed.
Gaussian blur
Soft and natural. Best for backgrounds and anything that should still read as part of the scene.
Mosaic
Chunky blocks. The familiar broadcast look for faces and plates, and hard to reverse.
Pixelate
Finer than mosaic, still destroys detail. Good when the shape should stay readable.
Solid block
Total cover. The safest option for documents, ID numbers and legal deliverables.
FAQ
Common questions
Can I use more than one tool on the same video?
Yes. Faces, plates, backgrounds and manual regions are all part of the same pass — tick whatever should be covered before you export, and it is rendered in one go.
Which formats can I upload?
Common browser-playable video formats including MP4, MOV and WebM, plus JPG, JPEG, PNG and other common image formats.
Is any tool paid-only?
No. Every blur tool is available on the free tier without a watermark; paid plans raise the file-size and duration limits.
Do I need to install a plugin?
No. AutoBlur is completely web-based — upload a video or image, select a tool and apply pixelation or blur instantly inside your browser.
