Obscure License Plate In Photo
Treat "obscure license plate in photo" as a publish checklist: mask, blur, verify, then export.
Operational sequence
- Upload your photo to BlurFaces.
- Use Add mask to draw over the license plate region.
- Increase padding by 6-12% and tune blur strength.
- Export and verify readability before posting.
Settings that work best
- Distant shots: moderate blur is often enough when masking is accurate.
- High-res images: verify at 2x zoom to catch readable edges.
- Marketplace thumbnails: test crop behavior before posting.
Verification checklist
- Test compressed previews before listing.
- Inspect mirrors and glossy surfaces for secondary visibility.
- Confirm mask coverage after crop/resize.
What usually goes wrong
- Editing too slowly -> use baseline defaults first, then fine-tune.
- Mask is too tight -> increase padding so crops stay covered.
- Blur too weak -> raise strength until characters lose edge definition.

Final checks before you publish
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).
