About BlurBrush: Blur Photo & Censor
Before you share a screenshot or photo, make sure nothing private leaks out. BlurBrush finds and hides sensitive content in seconds. SMART DETECTION Open a photo and BlurBrush scans it right on your device with Apple Vision. Grouped one-tap chips like "Faces (3)", "Plates (1)" or "Hide all" redact a whole category at once. Every recognized text line – emails, phone numbers, IBANs, credit cards, addresses, amounts, order numbers – is individually tappable. QR codes and barcodes too. THREE STYLES, MIXABLE IN ONE IMAGE – Soft blur for a natural look – Pixelate with adjustable pixel size – Solid color bars (any color, adjustable edge fade) – truly irreversible, the recommended style for text MANUAL TOOLS – Finger paint brush with adjustable size – Polygon area selection with corner points and a magnifier loupe for precision – Eraser plus full undo/redo PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs 100% on your device. No account, no tracking, no ads. Exports strip metadata by default, and your original photo is never modified – a new copy is saved. PERFECT FOR – Sharing screenshots that contain private data – Hiding bystanders' or kids' faces – License plates before selling a car – Tickets and QR codes Completely free, no in-app purchases. Made for iPhone and iPad.
What’s new
Version 1.2 · Updated September 29, 2026
Detected text is now always covered with an opaque bar – blur and pixels can be reversed on text. Choose photos without giving BlurBrush access to your library. Now also detects tax IDs, insurance and ID card numbers, dates of birth, BIC, and IP and MAC addresses. Many fixes: more reliable saving, greyscale images, fully opaque bar edges, VoiceOver and large text.
