Why we built it

Most blur and redact tools require uploading your file to a cloud server. That's a fundamental privacy risk — your sensitive documents and private photos are transmitted to a third party and stored on their infrastructure.

We built Blurify on a different premise: your files should never leave your device. By processing everything in the browser, we eliminate the upload step entirely.

This isn't a marketing claim — it's a technical constraint we designed around from day one. The tool literally cannot upload your files because there is no server-side code to receive them.

No file uploads

Files are opened using the browser's File API and processed with the Canvas API and WebAssembly. They never leave your device.

No accounts

There's no user database. We don't know who you are, and we don't need to.

No persistent storage

Files exist only in memory while the tab is open. Closing the tab clears everything.

Open standard tech

Built on widely-audited browser APIs — Canvas, WebAssembly, MediaRecorder — not proprietary black boxes.
