BlurPOV - Hide Faces in Video
Hide people's faces in videos
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
If you use POV glasses to record your videos, this is a great way to conceal peoples identity. It's super simple and you can bleep custom words automatically.
Redact what the camera sees.
BlurPOV detects every face in a video, clusters appearances by identity, and lets you choose — face by face — who to blur and who to reveal. Use it live from your camera, or apply it to clips already in your library.
Two modes. One purpose.
LIVE: Camera Redaction
Point your iPhone at a scene and BlurPOV blurs every face it finds in real time. Tap a face to flip its state, or set a global default: redact everyone, reveal everyone, with exceptions per subject.
UPLOAD: Video Review & Render
Pick a clip from Photos or Files. BlurPOV scans every frame, clusters faces into people, and shows you a gallery. Tap who to blur, render, and save the redacted video back to your library.
How it works
Detect: Vision-based face detection runs on every frame, generating bounding boxes and feature embeddings.
Identify: Appearances are tracked within shots and clustered across the video, so each person becomes one tile in a review gallery.
Decide: Tap thumbnails to mark redact or reveal. Drag-record manual blurs over moments the auto-detector missed.
Render: BlurPOV bakes your decisions into a new video file and saves it to your Photos library.
Privacy by design
Your video never leaves your device. Face detection, clustering, and rendering all happen locally on your iPhone using on-device machine learning. BlurPOV does not upload your videos, does not store your faces, and does not run analytics on your usage. The clip stays yours.
Built for moments when faces shouldn't be public
Journalism & documentary: Protect bystanders and sources before publishing footage from sensitive scenes.
Family & social: Share clips of your kids without sharing every other kid in the frame.
Education & research: Use real-world video material in teaching and analysis without exposing identities.
Legal & compliance: Redact incidental faces from evidence or training material before it changes hands.
On-device. No cloud. No accounts required to start.
