FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it safe to upload my car photos here?
Yes, because you aren't uploading them! Our tool processes your images entirely in your local browser. Your photos never touch our servers, keeping your location and vehicle identity 100% private.
Can I adjust how heavily the plate is pixelated?
Absolutely. You can customize the pixel block size dynamically. Use larger blocks for a heavy, completely unreadable censor, or smaller blocks for a more subtle look.
What shapes can I use to cover the license plate?
You can choose between a rectangular mask (perfect for standard European and American plates) or an oval mask (ideal for motorcycles, angled shots, or curved designs).
Is there a limit on how many images I can process?
No. Since the processing runs locally on your own computer, there are no rate limits, no queues, and no premium paywalls. Edit and blur as many photos as you need.
