Why hide the address if the listing shows the street anyway?

Listings usually show an approximate area, not your exact door. The photo's house number — and its GPS metadata — can pin it precisely. Blur one, strip the other (Blurify does both), and the listing stays useful without being a map to your home.

Does auto-detection find house numbers?

Not as a dedicated class — house numbers, engraved plates and hand-painted signs vary too much for reliable detection. That's why the page says two seconds honestly: you drag one rectangle. Vehicle plates in the same photo are auto-detected.

What else should I blur in a home listing?

Framed family photos, documents on the fridge, a laptop screen left open, the car's plate on the driveway. Each has its own guide — plates especially.

Marketplace and moving-sale posts too?

Same logic, smaller stakes: a couch photo taken by the window can show the building across the street plus your GPS coordinates in EXIF. One pass through Blurify covers both.

How it works for address.

Drop the listing photo
JPEG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF — up to 20 MB. Exterior shots, doorways, balconies with the street visible.
Mark the number or sign
Drag a rectangle over the house number, street sign, or door plate — it takes two seconds. A car on the driveway? Its plate is auto-detected for you.
Pixelate and export
Pixelation is the natural style for numbers and signs. Export bakes it in and strips the photo's GPS metadata — which, on a phone photo of your house, is the address in numeric form.
