Redact photos and screenshots with the same object model as our video pipeline
Our AI locates phone 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 phone 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 phone. Stronger intensity settings are available for compliance or legal contexts where partial obscuring is not sufficient.
When a photo contains several phone regions—like a group shot or a document page with repeated fields—detection targets every instance so none slip through.
Redact phone 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 phone, 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 phone never lingers on shared infrastructure longer than needed.
Still images are a persistent privacy risk because they are easy to share, screenshot, and index. When a photo containing a visible phone is published online—whether to a social network, a news outlet, or a company website—that information can be scraped, archived, and used to identify or contact the person it belongs to, often without their knowledge or consent.
Blurring the phone region before sharing is a practical way to reduce that risk. Under GDPR, CCPA, and similar data protection frameworks, a phone visible in a photograph qualifies as personal information. Organisations processing images that contain phone may need to obtain explicit consent or apply technical redaction before publishing or storing them.
Beyond legal compliance, blurring phone is good editorial and operational practice. News organisations blur the phone of minors and witnesses as a matter of policy. HR teams redact identifiable details from training materials. Content creators protect bystanders who were captured incidentally in street photography or event photos.
Not every image containing a phone needs redaction—context matters. But images taken in public spaces, screenshots of internal tools, and any photo destined for mass distribution are situations where blurring the phone protects both the subject and the publisher.
Common triggers: sharing group event photos where not every subject consented to publication; submitting screenshots to support teams where a phone is incidentally visible; publishing documentary photographs of people in sensitive situations; and distributing training materials created in environments where phone was present but was not the intended focus.
Common scenarios
From compliance teams to content creators, these are the workflows where blurring phone before sharing an image matters most.
Blur phone before posting group photos, event coverage, or street photography to protect people who have not consented to appearing publicly online.
Redact phone 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 phone before publication in news, documentary, or editorial image packages.
Strip phone 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 phone 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 phone 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.
