Irreversible privacy masking

Sharing photos on social media, news blogs, or public forums frequently requires redacting bystanders' faces, car license plates, postal addresses, and confidential financial or medical documents.

Unlike basic overlay stickers that can be removed in layer editors, WebpForge computes irreversible 2D raster transformations that permanently destroy hidden pixel information.

  • Pixelate (Mosaic): Quantizes pixel coordinates into solid color blocks, the standard style for video and photo journalism.
  • Smooth Blur: Applies a soft Gaussian blur filter to obscure text and identifiers naturally.
  • Solid Blackout: Renders completely opaque black circles for legal document compliance.

Frequently asked questions

How do I blur a face or license plate in a photo?

Upload your image, choose your redaction style (Pixelate, Smooth Blur, or Solid Blackout), adjust the brush size slider, and paint directly over the faces or confidential areas on the canvas.

Is my confidential image uploaded to any server?

Never. The redaction tool executes 100% locally in your browser memory. Sensitive documents, ID cards, and family photos never leave your device.

Can someone reverse or un-blur a pixelated photo?

No. When you download the redacted image, the underlying pixel values are permanently replaced with averaged color blocks. The original pixel data is destroyed during export, ensuring irreversible privacy protection.

Can I undo accidental brush strokes?

Yes. Click the "Undo" button in the toolbar to step back through previous brush strokes, or click "Reset" to revert to the original unedited image.
