Blursmith: Face Blur Offline

Blursmith is a face blur app offline: it finds faces, license plates, text and QR codes on your phone and lets you blur or hide them before you save or share a photo. Tap a box to keep or blur it, choose mosaic, blur, solid or emoji, and you are done. Nothing is uploaded, and the saved copy has location and camera data removed.

ONE TAP FINDS EVERY FACE
Automatic face detection runs with plate, text and code detection, without an internet connection, so four things are found at once: faces, license plates, blocks of text such as names and phone numbers, and QR codes or barcodes on tickets. Each find gets a colored box with its kind, and a counter reads Faces 3 · Plates 1 · Codes 1. Tap a box to keep it visible, tap a counter to switch a whole group, or use Hide all faces. Plates are on for you; other text starts off, so a shop sign stays readable. To blur faces on pictures one after another: open, check, save.

SAVE AND SHARE WITHOUT A VIDEO
Saving a hidden face costs nothing: Save and Share are free up to 2048 px on the long side, with no watermark, no video to watch and no ad before or after you save. A card then shows a thumbnail read back from the file just written. Every step is kept as a draft, so if the app closes you carry on where you stopped.

BLUR SMALL DETAILS
Fine redaction needs fine tiles. Tile size has its own slider, separate from the brush, so you can shrink the mosaic for a QR code on a boarding pass. Pinch to zoom up to 8×, paint over anything the scan missed (the cover appears when you lift your finger) and erase mistakes. Undo and redo go back 50 steps; hold the photo to see the original.

SECURE MODE FOR TEXT AND PLATES
Text and plates deserve a cover that stays put, because a light blur on text can sometimes be reversed. Secure mode is on by default: text, plates and codes get a solid cover or large mosaic tiles with random noise. You can switch it off for any single region. When you blur license plate numbers before selling a car, the characters stay unreadable, not just soft.

LOCATION DATA REMOVED
Hiding someone's identity also means hiding where the photo was taken. Every saved photo is a new, flat image: GPS position, camera make and model, capture time and embedded thumbnails are not written, and no copy of the original is hidden inside the file.

FACE BLUR FOR KIDS, CLASS PHOTOS AND CHATS
Before you post online, parents and teachers can hide children's faces in a class photo or a birthday picture so it reaches social media or the group chat safely. Share any photo to Blursmith from your gallery or a chat, conceal what needs hiding and share it on, or blur license plate details for a marketplace ad. Recent saves are in History.

MOSAIC · BLUR · SOLID · EMOJI
Five cover styles are included: Mosaic (pixelate), Blur, Solid, Emoji and Glass, with adjustable tile size, strength or color. Pixelate a crowd with mosaic tiles, censor a photo with a solid black plate, or mask a face with an emoji; every box stays under your control.

PRIVACY
Photo privacy starts on the phone, so this censored photo editor needs no account and no photo library permission: Blursmith only sees the photos you pick or share to it, and they never leave your phone, even in flight mode. The free version shows ads and collects anonymous usage statistics. Detection can miss faces or text, so always check the photo before sharing.
