How it works

Take a photo or open a file.
Use on-device face suggestions for photos, or open an image or PDF for manual document redaction.

Choose what stays visible.
Toggle suggested faces or place adjustable regions over names, account numbers, addresses, signatures and other details.

Save a flattened redaction.
Blurpeg renders a new image or image-only PDF instead of placing removable annotations on top. Your original remains unchanged.

How to blur faces on iPhone without uploading your photo

Redact documents without uploading them

Open a document image from Photos or Files, or move through a PDF page by page. Resize each solid or mosaic region to fit the detail, review the result, then export a new flattened copy. PDF exports are image-only, so searchable text and removable PDF annotations are not carried into the new file.

Why now

On 28 July 2026, Australia's eSafety Commissioner warned that publicly shared school imagery can be copied and misused with AI tools. The guidance asks schools to consider purpose, consent, audience and identifying details before publishing. Read the eSafety guidance.

Taking fewer photos is one response. Blurpeg is exploring another: preserve the moment while reducing the identifying detail that leaves the device.

On-device by design

The Blurpeg app has no source-upload service, account system or client analytics. Detection and redaction happen on your device. When you save, Blurpeg renders a new image or PDF with the chosen regions flattened into its pixels.

Review every image before sharing it. Automated detection can miss a face, and blurring faces does not remove every identifying detail or replace consent and publication decisions.

For childcare centres and schools

Blurpeg is powered by Vectrari^™ Face, proprietary on-device face detection. The app is available now on the App Store. We are also exploring pilots and future platform integrations that bring local redaction into an organisation's existing consent, capture and publication workflow.

Common questions

Does Blurpeg upload or store my photos or documents?

Blurpeg has no service for uploading your source to our servers. Detection and redaction run inside the app on your device. The camera flow is designed to save only the redacted result, while imported originals remain unchanged.

Does Blurpeg use facial recognition?

No. Blurpeg detects where faces appear so they can be redacted. It does not identify people, compare identities or create persistent face profiles.

What is Vectrari^™ Face?

Vectrari Face is proprietary face-detection technology that runs on your device and returns possible face regions for Blurpeg to redact. It does not identify people or send the image to a detection server.

What if the detector misses a face?

You review every image before saving it. Blurpeg also provides a manual region tool so you can conceal a missed face or any other identifying detail.

Can it blur names, uniforms or signs?

Yes. Automatic detection is for faces, while the manual region tool can redact name tags, logos, house numbers, signs and other visible details.

Can I blur an existing photo?

Yes. Blurpeg can import an image through Apple's photo picker and save a new redacted copy. It does not overwrite or delete the original.

Can I redact a PDF?

Yes. Open a PDF from Files, add adjustable redaction regions page by page, then export a new flattened, image-only PDF. Blurpeg does not alter the original.

Does Blurpeg remove photo metadata?

The app creates a newly rendered export and does not copy source location or camera metadata into it.

What does Blurpeg cost?

Try live camera/capture, choose faces to blur or leave visible, add manual blur and manually redact documents freely. Editing does not use the included export; creating your first successful output does: a photo or a complete PDF. Keep using the editing tools afterward. The purchase unlocks further exports, not editing tools. Unlimited photo and PDF exports are an optional one-time in-app purchase, A$9.99 in Australia. The relevant store shows the applicable purchase price and currency before purchase. Existing paid-download customers retain unlimited exports.

Does blurring replace consent or privacy obligations?

No. Blurpeg reduces visible identifying detail; it does not determine consent or satisfy an organisation's legal and policy responsibilities by itself.

Will an Apple purchase unlock the Android app?

Apple and Google purchases are separate. An Apple purchase unlocks the Apple version; a Google Play purchase unlocks the Android version. Restore eligible purchases using the same account and store you originally used.

Is Blurpeg available now?

Blurpeg is available on the Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad running iOS or iPadOS 17 or later. The Android version is in testing and is not yet publicly available on Google Play.
