Blur or pixelate part of a video

The area stays where you put it

The blur covers one fixed part of the frame for the whole video. It does not follow a face, a car or a person as they move. That suits details that stay put: a plate on a parked car, a name on a whiteboard, a phone number in a corner, or someone sitting still in an interview.

If something moves across the picture, a fixed area covers it only while it is inside that area. Watch the result before you share it. The blur also runs from the first frame to the last; to hide something for only part of the video, trim the video first.

Blurring is not the same as removing

A blur or a mosaic makes text and faces hard to read, but neither is secure redaction, and blurred details can sometimes be recovered. A heavy mosaic is harder to undo than a soft blur. When something must be gone for good, ask ToolGPT to crop that edge of the picture away, or to cover it with a fully opaque logo watermark. Both work only near the edges or corners of the frame.

Blurred on your device

ToolGPT redraws every frame in your browser, so the video is not sent anywhere to be blurred. A long, high-resolution video takes longer on an older computer, and a progress bar shows how far along the job is. A video too long to process in one piece is refused with an explanation, and trimming it first solves that.
