Frequently asked questions
Which effect hides text best?
A solid box removes it completely. Pixelation and blur are safe at high strength; small text is hidden even at low strength.
Is it free?
Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
