RedactCam detects faces and license plates in photos and video and pixelates them — entirely inside your browser. Works in airplane mode. Strips GPS metadata on export. Free while in beta.
The detection models download to your browser once (~32 MB) and run on your own hardware — GPU when available, CPU otherwise. Your files never travel.
Drag in one photo, fifty, or a dashcam clip. Faces and license plates are detected automatically — on your machine, even offline.
Every detection is a box you can toggle, move, or resize. Missed something? Drag to add a region — IDs, screens, tattoos, anything.
Pixelation is written into the pixels at full resolution — not a removable layer. Re-encoding strips EXIF and GPS metadata as a side effect.
Tools that blur plates in video usually come with a sales call and a four-figure annual invoice — because they run on someone else's servers. RedactCam runs on yours, so video anonymization can just be… a button. Faces and plates are tracked across frames and pixelated; audio is kept; the result downloads as a normal MP4.
"We don't upload your files" is a promise every service makes. RedactCam is built so you don't have to take the promise on faith:
Network tab.
Process a photo — you'll see the models download to you and nothing leave.Protect sources and bystanders before material moves through email, CMSes, or cloud drives. No third party ever holds the original.
Blur plates and faces in claim photos and dashcam video before they enter your workflow — batch by batch, one zip out.
Selling a car, sharing a school event, posting a near-miss clip — pixelate the people who didn't ask to be famous.
Processing happens on your device, so the free tier is genuinely generous — the paid tier covers the heavy, professional use. During the beta, everything is free.
Unlimited photos, full-resolution export, review editor, batches up to 10 files per zip, video clips up to 60 s, metadata inspector, EXIF/GPS stripping always on.
Videos of any length, unlimited batch size, selective metadata retention (keep timestamps or copyright, always strip GPS), dashcam GPS-track removal, redaction report for compliance files.
Yes, while in beta. Because processing happens on your device, each user costs us almost nothing — which is exactly why we can afford to be generous. A paid tier with power features may come later; the core promise (local, private, verifiable) stays free.
They are opened by your browser, processed in your browser's memory, and saved back to your downloads folder. There is no server component: nothing is uploaded, logged, or stored by us — we couldn't look at your files if we wanted to.
No detector is perfect, and we'd rather tell you that on the front page than in fine print. Detection is tuned to over-blur rather than miss, and for photos you always review before export — anything missed is one drag away. For video, spot-check the result.
A modern browser — Chrome or Edge get GPU acceleration, Safari and Firefox work too. Photos: JPEG/PNG, exported at full resolution. Video: MP4/WebM in, MP4 out, audio preserved.
The default is coarse pixelation, chosen because weak gaussian blurs can sometimes be partially reversed. Pixelation at this block size destroys the information — and it's baked into the image pixels, not layered on top.
