Blur License Plates in Photos
Planning a marketplace listing or sharing garage photos online? Your license plate can reveal more than you think. BlurFaces lets you hide plates (and faces) in seconds—right in your browser, without uploading originals anywhere.
Why blur your plate?
- Reduce exposure of identity and location information tied to the plate.
- Prevent easy cross‑lookups and scraping by bots.
- Keep attention on the vehicle and condition—not your personal details.
How to blur a plate fast
- Open your photo in BlurFaces.
- Use Add mask to draw a rectangle tightly around the plate.
- Increase padding 6–12% so cropped versions still hide the edges.
- Set blur strength to 16–24px for close‑ups; lower if the plate is distant.
- Export. Free includes a small watermark; upgrade for HD and watermark‑free images suitable for listings.
Marketplace tips
- Blur faces reflected in windows or mirrors using manual masks.
- Avoid shooting in front of your home address; choose a neutral lot.
