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.

Pick a photo or video, choose a mode — face blur, background blur, or manual brush — pick a style (gaussian, pixelate, censor bar, or emoji), and export. On-device AI handles the detection.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone and iPad on iOS 17 or later, and Android phones via Google Play.

Yes, BlurQ is free to download and use. You can blur faces, backgrounds, and anything else at no cost.

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.

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.

4 Censor Styles

Gaussian for subtle, pixelate for the news look, a solid censor bar, or an emoji. Intensity is always adjustable.

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.
