About the App

Posting a video shouldn't mean exposing strangers, license plates, or the private text on a screen in the background. Blura finds what's sensitive and hides it for you, so a clip is ready to share in seconds instead of an hour in a full editor.

Description

Blur faces, license plates and private details before you post. A few taps, right on your iPhone.

Posting a video shouldn't mean exposing strangers, license plates, or the private text on a screen in the background. Blura finds what's sensitive and hides it for you, so a clip is ready to share in seconds instead of an hour in a full editor.

SPOT IT. BLUR IT.

  • Auto-scan detects faces, license plates, phone numbers, payment cards, QR codes and on-screen text
  • One tap to blur everything found, or pick only what you want hidden
  • Face tracking follows people as they move through the video, frame by frame
  • Draw your own region anywhere: rectangle, circle or freeform

PICK YOUR STYLE

Blur, pixels, hexagons, crystal, dots, noise, or a solid color. Soft blur for a background face, hard pixels for a plate, black bar for a document. Whatever fits the shot.

RESIZE WITHOUT CROPPING

Fit any clip to 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9 and Blura fills the empty space with a blurred copy of the same video. Your Stories post keeps the whole frame, so nobody's head gets cut off. Trim the start and end while you're there.

WORKS WITH PHOTOS TOO

The same detection, the same tools and the same one-tap blur, now for screenshots, documents, ID photos and anything else you'd rather not share as-is.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Detection, blurring and export all run on your device. Your videos and photos never leave your iPhone: nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored on a server. You can also strip location, device and date metadata from every export with one switch.

YOUR PROJECTS STAY PUT

Every edit is saved to History. Come back later, change a region, swap the effect, export again.

MADE FOR

  • Creators clearing bystanders out of vlogs and Stories
  • Anyone posting dashcam or street footage with visible plates
  • Selling online: hide your address, phone number and card details in photos
  • Sharing screenshots without leaking chats, emails or documents
  • Parents keeping kids' faces off social media

Automatic AI face & license plate tracking saves hours

"Editing vlog footage used to mean manual frame-by-frame keyframing to blur stranger faces and cars. Blura's CoreML tracking locks onto faces and license plates automatically even with fast camera motion. Export quality remains crisp 4K 60fps."

Frequently Asked Questions

How does automatic detection and blurring work in Blura?
Blura utilizes advanced on-device computer vision to scan videos and photos for sensitive elements like faces, vehicle license plates, phone numbers, payment cards, QR codes, and text. You can blur everything found with a single tap, or selectively hide only what you choose.
Does Blura track moving faces and objects in videos?
Yes. Blura features intelligent frame-by-frame motion face tracking that locks onto subjects as they move through the video or as the camera pans. You can also manually draw custom censor regions anywhere using rectangle, circle, or freeform tools.
Are my photos or videos uploaded to external servers?
No, never. Blura is built on a 100% on-device architecture. All detection, blurring, and video rendering happen entirely within your iPhone's local processor. Nothing is uploaded, and nothing is stored on external servers. You can also strip location, device, and timestamp metadata with a single switch. Review our official Privacy Policy and Terms of Use (EULA).
How does resizing without cropping work for Stories and Reels?
Fit any clip into 9:16, 1:1, 4:5, or 16:9 aspect ratios. Instead of cropping people out or zooming awkwardly, Blura fills the empty letterbox space with an aesthetically blurred copy of the same video. Your post keeps the full original frame so heads and details stay intact.
What censor styles are available in Blura?
You can choose from 7 distinct styles: soft Gaussian blur for background faces, hard pixels for license plates, hexagons, crystal, dots, noise, or solid color blackout bars for private documents.
What is the difference between Blura Free and Blura Pro?
Blura is free to use with face detection, standard blur styles, ads, and a watermark on exports. Blura Pro unlocks watermark-free exports, 1080p and 4K output, auto-detection for plates, phone numbers, cards, QR codes, and text, Pro effects (hexagons, crystal, dots, noise, solid color), and unlimited censor regions.
