Privacy Blur

Blur, pixelate or black-out sensitive elements (emails, names, IDs) with one click. Perfect for screenshots, demos and recordings.

rivacy Blur turns any web page into a safe surface for recording or screenshotting. WHAT IT'S FOR When you record a tutorial, take a screenshot for a bug ticket, or share your screen in a video call, emails, names, IDs, balances and tokenized URLs will inevitably show up. Instead of reaching for Photoshop afterwards, hide them beforehand with a single click. HOW IT WORKS • Click any element → it's blurred. • Shift + click → applies the same blur to all "similar" elements (great for tables and lists). An orange outline previews how many will be affected before you confirm. • Right click on a blurred element → clears it. • Ctrl/Cmd + Z → undo last action (20-step stack). • Esc → exit selection mode. THREE HIDING MODES • Blur (Gaussian) — soft, good visual balance. • Pixelate — classic censor-bar look. • Blackout (solid black bar) — non-reversible; the safest mode for tokens, IDs and card numbers. KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS • Alt+Shift+B — toggle selection mode. • Alt+Shift+P — PANIC BLUR: instantly covers the whole page with a blurred overlay. Perfect when someone walks into frame during a recording. PERSISTENCE Rules are saved per URL (origin + path). When you return, elements are blurred automatically. A MutationObserver keeps things working on single-page apps. DRAGGABLE TOOLBAR The red indicator can be dragged anywhere and collapsed to a 32-pixel dot if it covers something. Position is remembered across sessions. EXPORT / IMPORT Download your rules as JSON to share with your team or back them up. On import you can choose to merge or replace. PRIVACY • Everything is local. Rules live in chrome.storage.local. • No servers, no analytics, no telemetry, no cookies, no network calls. • The requested permissions (activeTab, storage, <all_urls>) exist only so that blur can be applied on the page you chose. LANGUAGES UI available in English, Spanish, Portuguese and French (auto-detected from your browser language). LIMITATIONS Does not work on chrome://, chrome-extension://, the Chrome Web Store itself, or internal PDFs (browser restriction).
