RedactCam finds license plates automatically and pixelates them at full resolution. The detection model runs inside your browser, so the photo of your car — and everything it reveals about where you live — never touches a server.
Drag in a single photo, a whole folder, or an MP4. Plates are detected automatically — EU and US styles included.
Every detected plate is a box you can toggle, move, or resize. Missed one in a busy street scene? Drag to add it.
Pixelation is written into the pixels at native resolution and the file is re-encoded, which also strips EXIF and GPS metadata.
A license plate is an index into a person's life: registration records, location history, insurance claims. If you're selling a car online, posting a near-miss clip, publishing CCTV excerpts under GDPR, or handing dashcam footage to anyone but your insurer, the plates of uninvolved drivers are personal data you're distributing.
Most "free plate blur" tools upload your image to their server first — so before anything is blurred, a third party holds a photo that often contains your own plate, your street, and GPS coordinates in the metadata. RedactCam's detection model downloads to your browser instead and runs there. You can watch the Network tab, or go into airplane mode: it keeps working.
Yes — the detector was trained on a multi-region dataset of over 10,000 vehicle images. As with any detector, review before export; adding a missed plate is a single drag.
Yes. MP4 and WebM clips are processed frame by frame in your browser, with plates tracked between detection passes. Audio is preserved and the result downloads as a normal MP4.
No. The default is coarse pixelation, which destroys the information rather than smearing it, and it's baked into the image pixels — there is no layer to remove.
Photos are free without limits. Video clips up to 60 seconds and batches up to 10 files are free; longer footage and bigger batches are part of the Pro tier.
