Blur or pixelate part of a photo.
Easily hide a face, number plate, address or any other information visible in a photo.
Zoom using the mouse wheel or two fingers on mobile. When zoomed in, pan around the photo to position the area precisely.
Tip: to fully obscure sensitive information, use strong pixelation or a sufficiently strong blur.

Download
Blur or pixelation is applied to the final photo before it is downloaded.
When should I use it?
Blurring is useful for hiding a face, number plate, name on a document, address, phone number or anything else you do not want to show before sharing a photo.
Blur or pixelation: which should I choose?
Blur works well when you want to subtly obscure a face or information without drawing attention to the edit. Pixelation is more visible and may be preferable for clearly obscuring a number plate, number, address or other information before publishing an image.
Hide a face
A sufficiently strong blur can make a face difficult to recognise while keeping a more natural look in the photo.
Hide a number plate
Strong pixelation can visibly obscure a number plate before you share or publish the photo.
Protect information
A name, address, phone number or other visible text can be covered with one or more areas.
Position the area carefully
To hide information properly, the area must cover all of the relevant content, with a small margin around it. In a detailed photo, zooming helps you position the blur or pixelation more precisely before downloading.
Frequently asked questions
Is my photo sent to PourQui.com?
No. Your photo is processed directly on your device and is not sent to our servers for blurring or pixelation.
What is the difference between blurring and pixelating?
Blurring greatly softens the details in an area, while pixelation visually replaces them with large pixels. Both make information much harder to read.
Can I hide several items in the same photo?
Yes. Use the “Add an area” button to place several selections on the photo, for example over multiple faces or pieces of information.
Can I move and resize an area on mobile?
Yes. You can drag the area with your finger and use its handles to resize it.
Which formats are supported?
You can use a JPG, PNG or WebP image. The downloaded file keeps the same format where supported.
