Redact photos and screenshots with the same object model as our video pipeline
Our AI locates passport in a single frame with high spatial accuracy—useful for ID scans, event photos, screenshots, and any image where protecting personal information matters before sharing.
Blurring passport supports data minimization principles under GDPR and CCPA. Remove identifiable details from images before publishing, archiving, or distributing to third parties.
Choose between Gaussian blur, pixelation, or solid masking for passport. Stronger intensity settings are available for compliance or legal contexts where partial obscuring is not sufficient.
When a photo contains several passport regions—like a group shot or a document page with repeated fields—detection targets every instance so none slip through.
Redact passport from screenshots of apps, PDFs, and printed forms. Useful for support ticket attachments, internal reports, and any UI capture that needs sanitizing before external review.
No software to install. Upload your image from desktop or mobile, let the AI find passport, preview the result, and download—all inside the browser in seconds.
Images are processed over encrypted connections and deleted after export under our data policies—so passport never lingers on shared infrastructure longer than needed.
A passport photo contains the highest density of personally identifiable information of any common document: full name, nationality, date and place of birth, passport number, expiry date, machine-readable zone, and a photograph. Sharing a photo that includes a visible passport—even unintentionally—creates significant identity theft exposure.
Passport numbers and MRZ (machine-readable zone) data are specifically targeted by fraudsters because they enable synthetic identity creation across multiple jurisdictions. A single passportdetail shared in a travel booking screenshot or a hospitality check-in photo can provide enough data for a targeted fraud attempt. Blurring passport details in photos is one of the most important redaction habits for anyone who handles travel or hospitality workflows.
Travel booking confirmations and hotel check-in photos are the highest-risk scenarios. Travellers photograph passport pages for visa applications, share booking confirmation screenshots that include passport numbers, and hand devices to hotel staff who photograph documents during check-in. Each of these creates an image that should be redacted before storage or further sharing.
Corporate travel coordinators, HR teams processing international hire paperwork, and hospitality operators handling guest documentation are the most frequent users of passport redaction. Building a redaction step into the document-handling workflow—rather than relying on individuals to remember—is the most reliable approach at scale.
Common scenarios
From compliance teams to content creators, these are the workflows where blurring passport before sharing an image matters most.
Blur passport before posting group photos, event coverage, or street photography to protect people who have not consented to appearing publicly online.
Redact passport from images shared in internal reviews, audits, or third-party submissions to meet data minimization requirements under GDPR, HIPAA, and similar regulations.
Protect the identity of interview subjects, whistleblowers, and bystanders by blurring passport before publication in news, documentary, or editorial image packages.
Strip passport from HR materials, training decks, and case-study screenshots shared across teams or with external vendors so sensitive personal data is never over-shared.

Still images shared online or in documents frequently capture passport that can be used to re-identify individuals. Blurring reduces that risk and is often required under GDPR, CCPA, and similar privacy regulations.
Accuracy depends on image resolution, lighting, and occlusion. Our models are tuned for real-world photos; always spot-check results before using in legal or compliance contexts.
Yes. Screenshots of UIs, apps, and web pages that capture passport are common inputs. The detector looks for the relevant visual pattern regardless of whether the image is a photo or a screen capture.
Yes—you can typically adjust intensity or switch between blur, pixelation, and solid masking styles depending on the editor mode and your privacy requirements.
Common formats include JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC. Supported extensions and file size limits are shown in the uploader when you begin your session.
In most cases, yes—the detector finds multiple regions simultaneously and applies blur to each instance in a single processing pass.
Most single images finish in seconds. Large high-resolution files or temporary queue load may add a few extra seconds.
We use encrypted transfer and secure processing. Review the current privacy policy for specific retention and deletion details that apply to your account tier.
