Blur a License Plate

Selling a car, posting a dashcam still or sharing a parking photo? Cover the number plate and export a clean copy in seconds. Your files never leave your device.

A visible plate can be linked to your address and vehicle history. Pixelate is the default here because it reads clearly as deliberate; switch to Black box for maximum certainty.

Drop one image to redact

Draw boxes over sensitive areas, then export a flattened copy.

What else to check in a car photo

Plates appear in more places than the bumper: reflections in shop windows, other cars in the background, and dealer frames or registration stickers on the windscreen.

Car photos taken at home often carry GPS coordinates in their metadata, which can reveal where the car is parked overnight. NoUpload strips that metadata when you export.

Three steps, no upload.

JPEG, PNG, or WebP.

Draw over sensitive areas

Cover faces, names, addresses, plates, account numbers, or tokens with black box, blur, or pixelate.

Export

Download a flattened copy

Redactions are baked into the pixels of a new file, and metadata is stripped on export.

Most file tools send your files to someone else's server first. NoUpload doesn't.

For client work, ID scans, medical documents, unreleased product shots, or anything else you do not want sitting in a stranger's storage, the safer upload is the one that never happens.

File processing runs in your browser. Google Analytics records page views and anonymous tool-usage events, but NoUpload does not send filenames, metadata values, file sizes, image blobs, or other file details as analytics data.

  • Your files never leave your device
  • No account, sign-in, or email required
  • Analytics events record only which tool and page were used
  • No server-side file processing path

Don’t take our word for it. Check.

Anyone can claim files stay on your device. Here is how to confirm it yourself in under a minute, with tools already in your browser.

  1. Open the Network panel. Press F12 (Windows/Linux) or ⌥⌘I (Mac) and choose the Network tab.
  2. Process a file. Add an image and run any tool, then download the result.
  3. Read the requests. You will see page assets and small anonymous analytics pings. No request carries your image.

Or go further: load the page, switch off Wi-Fi, and use the tool. Processing still works, because it never needed a server.

Common questions

In most places it is legal, but many sellers and posters cover plates to reduce the risk of cloning, harassment or being located. Check your local rules if you are unsure.
