0 regions

Blur strength70%

Applied to image pixels, not just the preview.

Face-box padding25%

Extra coverage on each side of automatic detections. Drawn or adjusted boxes stay exactly where you put them.

Face detection settings

Detection threshold35%

Lower values may find more faces, but also more false positives. Apply with either scan button. Scanning adds regions; it never removes your existing redactions.

Names & other text

Reads text with an on-device OCR model, then flags names, contact details and other identifying strings. Nothing is uploaded.

People’s names (heuristic) Emails, links, @handles & phone numbers Long numbers & ID-like codes Every recognized text line (best for screenshots)

Text-box padding15%

Letter shapes are hard to blur cleanly; text padding covers the whole glyph and the space beside it.
