Cover Receipt Before Posting
For "cover receipt before posting", focus on two things: make text unreadable and keep the rest of the image usable.
What needs to be hidden
For cover receipt before posting, the risk is usually not aesthetic. It is a specific identity signal such as a receipt, address, document, or screen that gives away more than the rest of the image should.
Execution plan
- Upload the photo to BlurFaces.
- Draw a manual rectangle over the receipt or any other sensitive region.
- Increase padding and blur until text and key shapes are no longer readable.
- Export and review the exact crop or layout that will be shared publicly.
Default settings by scenario
- If the detail contains dense text, raise blur strength until individual characters lose edge definition.
- Check for the same detail appearing twice, such as a badge plus its reflection.
- For listing photos, verify thumbnails and mobile crops before publishing.
- Make the mask slightly larger than the object so cropped versions stay safe.
Where people usually miss leaks
- Secondary screens in the background
- Badges or documents on desks
- Addresses, labels, and QR codes near the edge of the frame

Post-export verification checklist
Most privacy misses happen in the final 10%: compressed previews, reflected details, or crop variants. Treat verification as part of the workflow, not an optional step.
- Keep one checklist for all team members so quality remains consistent.
- Check thumbnail and compressed preview versions, not just the full file.
- Run one final pass for secondary identifiers (badges, street numbers, documents).
