BlurTool: blur faces and license plates — locally, without the cloud.
AI detects people, vehicles, two-wheelers and license plates in photos and videos and anonymizes them automatically. The computation runs on your own machine: no upload, no account.
Demo with the full feature set — exports only carry a watermark. Download and licences at blurtool.de.
What BlurTool does
Blurring faces sounds trivial — until you have a thousand photos. BlurTool grew out of our own practice: anyone producing 360° imagery for Street View, virtual tours and building documentation has to anonymize every person and every plate before publication. By hand that is unaffordable. So we built the tool we needed ourselves.
Detects people, vehicles, two-wheelers, license plates
AI models for faces, full bodies, vehicles, two-wheelers (bicycles and motorcycles) and license plates — individually switchable, with adjustable sensitivity.
Photos, 360° panoramas and video
JPG, PNG, equirectangular panoramas and video footage in a single pass.
GPU-accelerated
Uses NVIDIA, AMD or Intel. Without a dedicated GPU it still works — just slower.
Batch processing
Entire folders with hundreds of captures at once. Output to a target folder; originals stay untouched.
Manual refinement
Mark what was missed, remove false positives, black out regions permanently. You keep control over every image.
Fully offline after activation
BlurTool needs the internet only for download and licence activation.
Why on-device?
The decisive difference is not detection quality but the path your data takes. Cloud anonymizers demand exactly what you are trying to protect: you upload unblurred material to someone else’s servers and hand over processing.
BlurTool inverts that. The material stays on your drive, processing runs on your hardware, and no data transfer arises that you would have to document or justify.
