Questions about this tool
Can I blur only part of an image?
Yes. Enter the left and top offsets plus the width and height of the rectangle to blur. The complete area must stay inside the source image.
Is blur secure redaction?
No. Blur is visual obfuscation, not guaranteed deletion. Strong reconstruction methods or contextual clues may reveal sensitive information. For secrets, crop the content out or cover it with an opaque block in a suitable editor and inspect the exported pixels before sharing.
Is my image uploaded to blur it?
No. The browser applies the effect and creates the download locally. Neither the source nor the output image is sent to Peelaway by this utility.
