What you can process
| Type | Details |

| Images | JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF for still redaction workflows. |
Why motion-tracked blur matters
Hand-drawn masks fall apart when a plate glints, a face turns, or the camera whip-pans. BGBlur keeps adjustments on the detection so reviewers spend minutes—not hours—per clip on hygiene edits before publish, handoff, or archive.
Privacy-first publishing
Files are deleted after processing and no account is required for the core flow—upload, preview, export, close the tab.
Structured answers and FAQs
Pages that state the outcome first, then support it with short sections, tables, and questions people actually ask tend to be easier for readers—and for AI overview systems—to quote accurately. Independent research on generative-engine optimization (Princeton, 2024) highlights statistics, quotations, and clear FAQs as signals that correlate with higher visibility in AI-mediated answers—not keyword density. The FAQ block below mirrors common support questions for this topic.
How it works
- Upload your video (MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV) or images (JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF).
- Select blur type—faces, plates, background, objects, or prompt-based blur—and preview tracks.
- Export in HD and publish anywhere; files are not stored after processing.
Benefits for this use case
- Stay anonymous: automatic tracking keeps blur on your face or marks even when you move on camera.
- Zero retention by design: upload, export, and close the tab without leaving masters on our servers.
- Ship faster than timeline masking—preview detections, adjust strength, and publish the same day.
Citations and concrete limits (formats, retention) help both readers and automated summaries verify claims quickly.

Frequently asked questions

- Yes. Use object blur or prompt-based blur to cover tattoos, signage, or background details—not just faces.
- Does BGBlur handle face blur on moving subjects?
- Yes. BGBlur tracks faces, plates, and regions frame-to-frame so blur stays glued to the subject while it moves.
- What formats and limits apply on the free tier?
- MP4, MOV, M4V, AVI, MKV, plus JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF for stills. Free tier covers files under 200MB and 10 minutes.
