Blur before you share

Every day we share photos that contain far more than we intended: strangers in the background, a car's licence plate, the address on a parcel, a passport on the desk.

None of this is a reason to stop sharing. It is a reason to take ten seconds before you do.

What to look for

Before posting a photo or video publicly, scan it for three things:

1. Faces — especially children and people who didn't choose to be in your picture.
2. Licence plates — they can identify a car, and often where someone lives or works.
3. Documents and IDs — boarding passes, letters, screens and cards are easier to read than you think.

Let the app do the searching

Finding every face in a crowded street shot by hand is tedious, which is exactly why people skip it. mosaic+ detects faces, licence plates and documents automatically and blurs them in one go.

It works on photos and on video, and you can process whole albums in a batch on your device — useful after a trip, an event or a day of filming.

A simple habit

Make blurring part of your sharing routine, the same way you crop or straighten a photo. The people in the background of your pictures will never know you did it — and that is the point.

mosaic+ is available on the App Store and Google Play. See mosaic+.
