BlurApp: Private Photo Blur3.0 - App Store

Hide faces, text, and private details before sharing a photo.

BlurApp is a focused privacy photo editor that makes it easy to blur sensitive information in seconds. Automatically detect faces and text with one tap, or use the manual brush when you need precise control.

You can even use BlurApp directly from the Photos share sheet for fast face and text blurring without opening the full app.
