About FreeBlur
Privacy-focused image blurring for everyone
Our Mission
FreeBlur was created to provide a simple, fast, and privacy-focused solution for blurring images online. We believe that protecting sensitive information in images should be accessible to everyone, without compromising your privacy or requiring complex software installations.
Why We Built FreeBlur
In today's digital world, we often need to share screenshots, documents, or photos while protecting sensitive information like:
- Personal information in documents
- Email addresses and phone numbers
- Financial information
- Private messages or conversations
- Faces for privacy protection
Most existing solutions require uploading your images to remote servers, which poses privacy risks. FreeBlur processes everything locally in your browser, ensuring your sensitive data never leaves your device.
Our Technology
FreeBlur is built using modern web technologies including HTML5 Canvas API and client-side JavaScript. This allows us to process images entirely in your browser without any server uploads. The application works offline once loaded, making it perfect for sensitive environments.
Privacy First
Privacy is at the core of everything we do. Your images are processed locally on your device and are never transmitted to our servers. We don't store, analyze, or have access to any of the images you process. What happens in your browser, stays in your browser.
Free Forever
FreeBlur is and will always remain free to use. We believe essential privacy tools should be accessible to everyone. The service is supported through non-intrusive advertising that doesn't interfere with your workflow.
About the Creator
FreeBlur is developed and maintained by Luke Berry, a software developer passionate about privacy and user-friendly web applications. The project started as a personal need for a simple, privacy-respecting image blurring tool and has grown into a resource used by thousands of people worldwide.
Our Commitment
We are committed to:
- Maintaining your privacy and never accessing your images
- Keeping the service free and accessible
- Continuously improving the user experience
- Being transparent about how the service works
- Responding to user feedback and feature requests
Future Development
We're constantly working to improve FreeBlur with new features like additional blur effects, batch processing capabilities, and enhanced mobile support. All improvements will maintain our core principles of privacy, simplicity, and accessibility.
