Blur chat in screen recording – live demo view

Blur WhatsApp, iMessage, and Telegram Chats in Screen Recordings

When you record your phone or desktop screen for a tutorial, demo, or review video, private message conversations are often visible in the background or notification shade — WhatsApp message previews, iMessage bubbles, Telegram thread names, and Signal notifications can all expose sender names, phone numbers, and conversation snippets. AI detects these chat overlays frame by frame and blurs them throughout the entire recording, so you can share the video publicly without revealing any personal conversations.

Redact Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Discord Chats in Screenshots

Product managers sharing feature discussion screenshots, developers posting Slack threads in bug reports, HR teams capturing Teams conversations in disciplinary records, and customer support managers sharing Discord moderation logs all risk exposing private message content. Upload the screenshot and the AI instantly blurs chat bubbles, thread text, usernames, profile avatars, and channel names across Slack, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Google Chat, Mattermost, and other workplace messaging platforms.

Privacy for HR Investigations, Legal Discovery, and Customer Support Records

HR departments conducting internal investigations must share conversation logs with legal or compliance teams while protecting messages from uninvolved parties. Legal teams preparing for litigation may need to submit chat records as evidence after redacting privileged or irrelevant exchanges. Customer support teams publishing case studies or training materials must remove actual customer message content. This tool blurs the specific chat content needed while keeping timestamps, metadata, and UI structure intact for context.

Works on Mobile and Desktop — Blur Chats from Any Device

Content creators processing screen recordings from a desktop, community managers editing Discord screenshots from a tablet, and HR coordinators reviewing Teams conversation exports from a phone can all blur chat messages directly from their browser with no app download required. The tool handles large video files from OBS, Loom, QuickTime, and built-in screen recorders equally well.
