Blur Pixel phone video for privacy-safe publishing
Google’s HDR pipeline can lift shadow detail that reveals distant plates—run plate detection even on ‘dark’ night scenes.
Tensor-specific processing sometimes changes per clip—avoid Smart Storage ‘optimized’ copies if they downscale detail.
Capture tips
- Use ‘Original’ when transferring via Google Photos for editing.
One-click alternative with BGBlur
Upload a clip and preview automatic face, plate, background, or prompt-based blur—no keyframes or nested timelines.
