Hide a plate, hide the vehicle
Selling a car? Sharing a parking photo? Blurify finds the plate and pixelates it before you post.
How it works for plates.
Drop the car photo
Rear, side, or front. JPEG / PNG / WebP / HEIC up to 20 MB. We re-encode the export to your chosen format.
Plate region appears
Google Cloud Vision Object Localization detects 'Vehicle registration plate' as a class. You see a tight box around it. Adjust it if the bbox is off — it's a draggable rectangle.
Pixelate, blur, or fill — export
Pixelation is the default for plates (irreversible, common in journalism). Or pick gaussian / solid block / color overlay. Download with EXIF stripped.
Questions, honestly answered.
- Will it work on EU / UK / multi-line plates?
- It works on most plates that face the camera. Oblique angles, partial occlusion, and stacked / multi-line plates are harder. The editor's draw-your-own region tool is the answer when auto-detection misses.
- Why pixelate instead of blur?
- Pixelation is the convention for license plates in published photography because it's visually obvious that something has been removed. Gaussian blur can look like depth-of-field — viewers might assume the plate is just out of focus.
- Can someone reverse the pixelation?
- Not on the exported image. We replace the original pixels with mosaic blocks at export time using Sharp — there's no original information left. The 'un-pixelate' attacks you may have read about only work when the attacker has access to the un-pixelated source.
- Do you keep my car photos?
- No. Uploads live in private S3 for up to one hour then auto-delete. We never share with third parties beyond the cloud vision API that runs the plate detection.
