Complete privacy protection in one workflow

Complete privacy protection in one workflow

Public footage often exposes both identifiable faces and readable license plates. BGBlur detects and blurs both in a single upload so you do not need separate tools or duplicate exports. Upload MP4, MOV, or image files, review AI detections on the timeline, and download a privacy-safe file for YouTube, insurance, legal review, or internal sharing.

Automatic face detection and motion tracking

Automatic face detection and motion tracking

AI finds faces across frames — pedestrians, passengers, bystanders, and crowd members — and keeps blur aligned as people move, cameras pan, or lighting changes. This is essential for vlogs, news clips, protest footage, classroom recordings, and any video where faces must stay hidden from start to finish.

License plate redaction in the same clip

License plate redaction in the same clip

Vehicle plates are detected and tracked even at angles, during merges, and in traffic. Combine plate blur with face blur when your clip includes both people and cars — typical for dashcam compilations, street photography video, parking lot recordings, and real-estate walkthroughs with visible vehicles.

Built for street scenes, events, and mixed public footage

Built for street scenes, events, and mixed public footage

Use this workflow when your content is not face-only or plate-only: urban b-roll, festival coverage, driving clips with pedestrians, fleet incident video, and security exports that need broader anonymization before release. One pass covers the identifiers regulators and platforms care about most.

Browser-based editing — mobile and desktop

Browser-based editing — mobile and desktop

No Premiere, no FFmpeg, no app install. Upload from phone or laptop, preview redaction on the real timeline, and export share-ready media. BGBlur supports common video and image formats so teams can fix privacy on one file without rebuilding the whole edit stack.

What Makes BGBlur Different for Combined Face and Plate Blur?

BGBlur handles dual-intent privacy edits when footage shows both people and vehicles — without running separate face-only and plate-only workflows.

One upload, both detections

Find faces and license plates in the same clip instead of exporting twice from different tools.

Motion-aware tracking

Face and plate blur stay aligned as subjects move, cameras pan, and scenes change across frames.

Public footage ready

Built for street scenes, events, mixed b-roll, and clips that need broader anonymization before publishing.

Pairs with single-intent pages

Use face blur alone or license blur alone when needed — this page covers the combined query.

Browser workflow

Upload, review detections on the timeline, and export from desktop or mobile without installing an NLE.

Compliance-friendly sharing

Prepare GDPR- and privacy-aware exports when both personal and vehicle identifiers appear in frame.
