Automatically blur number plates.

Detect vehicles locally, review likely plate areas, then blur or cover the selected regions before you post or send the image.

Private by design: vehicle detection and image processing happen locally. Candidate plate boxes are estimates and can miss or misplace a plate.

Choose the privacy level

Blur looks softer in a photo. A solid cover is the stronger option when hiding the registration matters more than appearance. Use plate padding if the estimated box is tight around the characters.

Check every plate

Plate positions are estimated from detected vehicles, so the tool can miss a plate or select the wrong area. Always inspect every vehicle in the finished image before sharing it.

Short, practical guidance for this specific kind of task, without turning a tiny job into a tutorial marathon.

What this tool does

Auto-blur number plates

Detect vehicles, estimate likely plate areas and blur selected regions locally before sharing.

The tool is designed to get that one job done without making you learn a full piece of software first.

Best results

Treat every detected plate as a suggestion.

Look at every vehicle. Automatic detection can miss a plate or estimate the wrong location.

For maximum concealment, use a strong blur or solid cover with extra padding.

In plain English

What matters most.

The tool finds vehicles first and estimates likely plate areas. It is useful for quick privacy cleanup, not a legal-grade detector.

AI tools download their model on first use and local-processing tools work directly in your browser. Choose the specialist tool that best matches your subject for cleaner results.

File size & formats

Big images use more memory than their file size suggests.

What can I use?

JPG, PNG and WebP are the safest choices. Other image formats work when your browser can decode them.

Is there a size limit?

There is no extra OutMonkey upload-size cap in the browser interface. Very high-resolution images can still hit your browser or device memory limit, especially when enlarging them or running local models.

If the file is huge

If an enormous image will not process, use a smaller copy or reduce its pixel dimensions first. Keep the original untouched.
