What it does
ActuallyFreeTools hides private details in photos and screenshots for free. Drag boxes over faces, number plates, addresses or account numbers and choose pixelate, blur or a solid black box. The saved copy also drops hidden location data. For text and numbers, pixelate strongly or black out — light blur can sometimes be reversed. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use it
- Drop a photo or screenshot.
- Drag over each area to hide and choose the style.
- Download the redacted copy.
Questions people ask
Which style is safest?
A black box is irreversible. Strong pixelation is also very safe; light blur on text is the least safe.
Does it change my original file?
No. You download a new copy; the original stays as it was.
Can it find faces automatically?
Not yet — you mark areas yourself, which is also more reliable for screenshots.
Is Blur & redact photos on ActuallyFreeTools really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no daily limit, no watermark and no paid tier. Nothing is held back for paying users.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Blur & redact photos runs inside your browser, so your files are processed on your own device and never sent to a server. That is also why there is nothing to meter or charge for.
