Why use RedactPix to blur license plate?
Blur or pixelate — your choice
Use blur for a natural look or pixelate for stronger obfuscation. For maximum security, use a solid blackout.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to blur license plates by law?
In many jurisdictions (EU/UK under GDPR, and increasingly in the US), license plates are considered personal data. If you share a photo publicly — on a blog, social media, or a listing — you should blur plates that do not belong to you.
Should I blur or pixelate a license plate?
Both work. Pixelation with large blocks is slightly harder to reverse than blur. For legal compliance, either is generally sufficient. For maximum security, use a solid black box.
Can RedactPix detect license plates automatically?
Currently, license plate detection is manual — draw a box over the plate. Automatic plate detection is on the roadmap.
