PixelGuard

Not a single photo leaves your device. Auto-detect faces, license plates and document text, mosaic or blur them, strip location data, then save or share.

PixelGuard is a privacy-first editor for hiding personal information in photos. Everything runs on your device — the app doesn't even request network permission.

■ Automatic detection • Finds faces, vehicle license plates and text in documents with on-device AI and masks them in one tap. • A confidence slider lets you catch more targets or reduce false positives; include or exclude each result individually.

■ Precise manual editing • Rectangle, ellipse, lasso and brush tools for exact regions. • Mosaic (cell size, pixel shape), blur (Gaussian, motion, lens), solid color and emoji effects. • Layer-based non-destructive editing, undo/redo, compare with original.

■ Safe saving & sharing • GPS location and EXIF metadata are removed by default when you save. • Choose original / high / share-size quality, save to the "PixelGuard" album in Photos, or share directly. • Warns before saving settings that could be reversible (e.g. very fine mosaic).

■ Privacy principles • No uploads, no ads, no tracking, no account. • Even recent-work thumbnails are generated from the masked image only.

Family photos, car photos, documents, screenshots for social media — hide what matters with PixelGuard before you post.
