Advanced: Multi-Object Workflows

When your image has mixed privacy needs, use selective control for precise redaction.

Real-world scenarios:

Scenario 1: Group photo (keep friends, blur strangers)

  • Upload photo of 9 people
  • Click "Select Individual Objects"
  • Click the 3 strangers' faces
  • Select "Blur Selected"
  • Download → only strangers blurred, friends visible

Scenario 2: Workplace photo (keep leadership, blur others)

  • Upload team photo with CEO in center
  • Click "Select Individual Objects"
  • Click only the CEO's face
  • Select "Blur All Except Selected"
  • Download → everyone blurred except CEO

Scenario 3: Legal document (mixed content)

  • Upload document with public letterhead + sensitive contract language
  • Use standard redaction for faces
  • Use "Select Individual Objects" for paragraphs
  • Select sensitive text areas → "Blur Selected"
  • Download → selective redaction complete

Scenario 4: ID verification (selective masking)

  • Upload ID photo
  • Faces visible (don't blur)
  • Use "Custom" to type "ID number" + "birthdate"
  • Click those areas only → "Blur Selected"
  • Download → face visible, sensitive details masked

When to use selective control:

  • ✓ Group photos with mixed privacy needs
  • ✓ Documents with both public + private content
  • ✓ When "Blur All" would hide too much
  • ✓ When some detected objects should stay visible

FAQ

General Questions

Q: Is my image private?

A: Yes. Your images are processed on secure servers hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), with encryption in transit. We don't sell or share your images with third parties. Processed results are retained for 3 years so you can revisit them anytime via My History — after that period, they're automatically deleted.

Q: Can I undo redaction? A: No. Download the original image separately if you want an unredacted copy.

Q: What if detection misses something? A: Use manual override — click anywhere on the image to add redaction. Paint mode available in advanced settings.

Q: Can I blur only specific objects instead of everything? A: Yes. Click "Select Individual Objects" before processing, then click individual faces/plates/people to select which ones to blur. Choose "Blur Selected" (blur only clicked objects) or "Blur All Except Selected" (blur everything except what you clicked).

Q: When would I use "Blur All Except Selected"? A: Great for group photos where you want one person visible (your CEO, your friend, the main subject) and blur everyone else automatically—without manually clicking each person to blur.

Q: Can I change my mind while selecting objects? A: Yes. Click any highlighted object again to deselect it. You can also switch between "Blur Selected" and "Blur All Except Selected" anytime before clicking either button.

Pricing

Q: How many free images do I get? A: 3 free images after signup. That's it—no monthly limit, just 3 credits to try the tool.
