Features
Everything you need to hide anything
New
Video Face Blur
The blur moves with them. AI tracking follows faces through your video frame by frame, with a timeline to trim the range.
Background Blur
AI person segmentation keeps the subject sharp and melts the background into a DSLR-style bokeh.
Manual Brush
Finger-paint over license plates, addresses, screens, documents — anything. Adjustable size, softness, and an eraser.
10 Blur Styles
Gaussian, pixelate and a solid cover bar are free; Pro adds mosaic, hexagon, triangle, frost, motion, zoom and bokeh. Try any style before you save.
100% Offline. Always.
No upload, no sign-up, no tracking. The AI runs on your phone, so it works in airplane mode and nothing ever leaves your device.

FAQ
Questions, answered
- Is BlurQ really private?
- Yes. All processing happens on your device — your photos and videos never leave your phone. No uploads, no accounts, no data collection.
- Does BlurQ work on videos?
- Yes. BlurQ detects faces in your video and the blur tracks them automatically as they move through the frame. Trim the tracked range on a timeline, then export.
- How does BlurQ work?
- Pick a photo or video, choose a mode — face blur, background blur, or manual brush — pick one of ten blur styles (gaussian, pixelate and a solid cover bar are free; Pro adds mosaic, hexagon, frost, bokeh and more), and save. On-device AI handles the detection.
- Which devices are supported?
- The BlurQ app runs on iPhone with iOS 18 or later. On Android or a computer, use our free online tool — it blurs faces in the browser with the same on-device approach, and your photo is never uploaded.
- Is BlurQ free?
- Yes. Face blur, background blur and manual blur are free, and photos save at their original resolution. Free saves carry a small watermark that one short ad removes, and free video exports are limited to 8 seconds at 720p. BlurQ Pro is a one-time $9.99 purchase: no watermark, no ads, full-length full-quality video, seven extra blur styles, and automatic text and license plate blur.
- Does BlurQ work offline?
- Yes, 100% offline. The AI models ship inside the app, so it works in airplane mode — nothing is ever sent to a server.
