Blur plates in videos and photos on iPhone — on-device, no upload. Now better at dark plates, night shots and small, distant plates in videos.
Got a dashcam clip of an accident, near miss, or wild commute moment you want to post? Pixelate the license plates first - then share it.
Car Number Plate Blur is built for exactly that: import a video from Photos, anonymize plates on your iPhone, preview the result, and save or share to Instagram, WhatsApp Status, Facebook, X, and more. Works for dashcam and handheld clips - including motorcycle plates. Pro also blurs plates in photos - listings, snapshots, or similar.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Record with your dashcam (or phone) and save the video to Photos
2. Import the clip into the app - trim if needed
3. Process - plates are detected and pixelated automatically
4. Preview, then save to Photos and/or share the anonymized version
5. Optional fine-tune: Pixelate less to undo false blurs, or Pixelate more on ranges that still look readable
PHOTO MODE (PRO)
1. Import a photo from Photos
2. Process — plates are detected and pixelated on your iPhone
3. Tap a leftover plate and resize the box if needed
4. Preview, then save to Photos and/or share
WHY PEOPLE USE IT
• Post dashcam incidents and commute moments without exposing strangers’ plates
• Cover plates in handheld / motorcycle close-ups, not only classic dashcam angles
• Keep videos social-media ready while staying privacy-conscious
• Fix over- or under-blurred spots without redoing the whole clip
• One clear flow: import → process → preview → save/share
• Blur plates in photos - listings, snapshots, and more - then tap leftover plates and resize
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
Detection and pixelation run entirely on your iPhone. Your video or photo is not uploaded for processing.
FREE VS PRO
• Free: 1 clip per day, up to 60 seconds (output capped at 720p)
• Pro (one-time purchase): unlimited clips per day, up to 30 minutes, original/4K export when the source allows (no upscale), plus photo mode for stills - same on-device privacy
Perfect when you want to share what happened on the road - without sharing every plate in frame.
