Blur faces, text and license plates in photos on iPhone
To hide a face, a license plate, a phone number or an address, cover that area with a strong blur or a solid fill and share a new copy, not the original. On iPhone you can do it with the built-in Markup tool or with Blur Personal Info, which finds faces, plates, card numbers and text for you, blurs them on your device and keeps the original untouched.

Before you share: three checks
- 1
Make small text unreadable
Light blur on small print can still be guessed. Use a strong blur or a solid block over numbers, emails and addresses.
- 2
Remove location
Photos can carry where they were taken. In the iPhone share sheet tap Options and turn off Location before sending.
- 3
Check the crop and reflections
Names and numbers often hide in reflections, notification banners and the edges of a screenshot.
Take a full-page screenshot on iPhone
In Safari, take a screenshot, tap the preview and choose Full Page. iPhone saves it as a PDF in Files. To get the whole page as an image, or to save every picture from a page at once, use Vistaply in Safari.

Frequently asked questions
How do I blur a face in a photo on iPhone?
Open the photo in Blur Personal Info: it marks faces automatically. Check the masks, adjust the blur strength and export a new copy. Without an app, you can cover the face with an opaque marker in Photos → Edit → Markup.
How do I hide a license plate in a photo?
Blur Personal Info detects license plates automatically; you can also select the area by hand. Use a strong blur or a solid fill. Check the result at full size: a light blur on large characters can remain readable.
Does blurring change my original photo?
Blur Personal Info exports a protected copy and keeps the original in your library. Built-in Markup edits the photo itself, but you can revert it in Photos.
How do I screenshot an entire web page on iPhone?
In Safari, take a screenshot, tap the preview and choose Full Page to save a PDF. Vistaply captures the full page in Safari when you need it as an image.
