Add Censor Bars to Photos Online

A fully opaque solid cover leaves less visible detail inside the selected area than blur or fine pixelation. Coverage still matters: a narrow bar over the eyes can leave the nose, mouth, jaw, ears, hair, and surrounding context recognizable. This workflow starts with editable face detections and supports manual blocks for documents or other sensitive details. Extend each cover beyond the full identifying area, keep opacity at 100 percent for redaction, and inspect the exported pixels. For evidentiary or regulated material, follow your organization’s approved redaction and chain-of-custody process.

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about our technology and how we keep your data safe.

What is the solid-cover tool for?

It places editable opaque regions over detected faces or areas you draw manually. A fully opaque, correctly sized cover leaves less visible detail inside the selected area than blur or fine pixelation.

Does a black bar guarantee anonymity?

No. A narrow bar can leave the nose, mouth, jaw, ears, hair, clothing, and scene recognizable. Cover the full identifying area and review contextual clues outside the box.

Can I use it for sensitive documents?

The tool can cover selected pixels, but regulated or evidentiary material may require approved software, audit trails, and specific redaction procedures. Follow your organization’s requirements and verify the exported file.
