Common Use Cases for Image Blur
Privacy protection — Blur faces in photos before sharing publicly, obscure personal information in documents, or hide license plates in street photography.

Real estate — Blur neighboring properties or personal items visible in listing photos.
Why ImageGates vs Pixlr or Canva?
Pixlr and Canva require accounts and process images on their servers. ImageGates is instant, private, and free — no account needed. Our multi-area selective blur with draggable selections gives you the precision of a desktop app in a lightweight browser tool. After blurring, compress the result for web use or convert to WebP for smaller files.
