Auto Video Blur - Filtering3.4 - App Store

Auto Video Blur is an iPhone app that uses AI to automatically detect faces, eyes, mouths, people (full body) and text in your videos, then blurs or pixelates them. Just pick a video and tap what to hide, with no need to mark areas frame by frame. Blur kids' faces, censor strangers who wander into the shot, and hide name tags or addresses before posting to social media or video sites.

The core features are free. All detection and editing happens on your iPhone, and your videos are never uploaded to a server. Saved videos have no logo or watermark.

KEY FEATURES

■ What the AI detects automatically
. Face
. Eyes (cover just the eyes)
. Mouth
. People (full body)
. Text (choose Fast or Accurate)
. All (apply a filter to the whole video)
Detection runs on every frame, so the blur follows its target even when people or the camera move.

■ 30 ways to hide (filters)
Pixelate, Blur, Sparkle, Monochrome, Motion H, Motion V, Motion D, Zoom, Crystallize, Hexagonal, Triangle, Pointillize, Halftone, Dither, CRT, VHS, Holo, Sketch, Painting, Woodcut, Edges, Rain Glass, Liquid, Prism, Chromatic Aberration, Double, Saturation, Sepia, Posterize, Duotone. Adjust the strength with a slider.

■ Stickers that follow faces (49 types)
Besides black or white squares, hide faces with emoji like smiling faces, sunglasses, animals and hearts. Stickers move with each face, and you can resize them.

■ Manually select blur area
Drag on the preview to draw a box, and that area stays hidden from start to finish. A handy backup for anything auto-detection misses.

■ Fine-tuning
. Padding: enlarge the hidden area so nothing peeks out
. Edge blur: soften the border of the hidden area
. Invert area: hide everything except what was detected (Pro)
. Multiple targets at once, e.g. faces and text together (Pro)

■ Editing and saving
. Trim: keep only the part you need

FAQ
Q. Is it free?
A. Yes. The free version can auto-blur and save videos, with no logo or watermark.

Q. Are my videos sent over the internet?
A. No. Detection and editing happen on your iPhone.

Q. What if something isn't hidden automatically?
A. Add a box with "Manually select blur area" to hide it on top of auto-detection. Faces in profile, small faces and dark scenes are harder to detect, so check the preview first.

Q. Can it hide license plates and text on signs?
A. Yes. Choose "Text" as the target. For small or handwritten text, "Accurate" is recommended (it takes longer).

Q. Does the saved video keep location data?
A. By default, the original recording date and location are removed when you save.
