About Blur My Text
We built a tool that respects your privacy by design. No uploads, no tracking, no compromise.
Our Mission
In an age where screenshots are shared constantly—for support tickets, bug reports, tutorials, and social media—sensitive information often slips through. Phone numbers, email addresses, private conversations, account details, and personal data get exposed unintentionally.
We created Blur My Text to solve this problem the right way: with complete privacy. Most online tools require you to upload your images to their servers, trusting them with your sensitive data. We took a different approach.
Your images never leave your device. Everything happens in your browser. This isn't just a feature—it's our fundamental promise.
Why We Built This
We've all been there: you need to share a screenshot but first you have to hide some personal information. The existing options weren't good enough:
- Desktop software requires installation and updates
- Mobile apps ask for intrusive permissions
- Online tools upload your images to unknown servers
- Manual editing in photo apps is slow and cumbersome
We wanted something that just works—fast, private, and accessible from any device. So we built it.
Our Principles
Privacy First
We don't collect, store, or have access to your images. All processing happens locally in your browser using client-side JavaScript. This isn't marketing talk—it's how our technology fundamentally works.
Free Forever
Privacy tools shouldn't be a luxury. Blur My Text is and will always be completely free. No subscriptions, no premium features, no hidden costs. Everyone deserves privacy protection.
Simple & Fast
No accounts, no onboarding, no tutorials. Upload, blur, download. The tool works instantly on any device with a web browser. We respect your time as much as your privacy.
Transparent & Trustworthy
We clearly explain how our tool works. You can inspect our code in your browser's developer tools. No hidden tracking, no dark patterns, no fine print that contradicts our promises.
How It Actually Works
We use modern web technologies to process your images entirely in your browser:
- HTML5 Canvas API loads and manipulates images directly in browser memory
- Client-side JavaScript applies blur effects using standard browser APIs
- No server uploads—your images never travel across the network
- Direct download saves the edited image straight to your device
This architecture makes it technically impossible for us to see your images. We couldn't access them even if we wanted to.
