About AnonymizeVideo.app
A small tool with one job
AnonymizeVideo.app blurs faces and licence plates in video without uploading anything. It is built and run by an independent developer, not a company with a data appetite.
Free with a small watermark · £10 one-off to remove it · your video never leaves your browser
Why it exists
Blurring faces in a video used to mean either paying for editing software and doing it frame by frame, or handing sensitive footage to a website that processes it on someone else’s servers. For a journalist protecting a source, a school sharing a sports day, or anyone posting a dashcam clip, the second option asks for a lot of trust in exchange for a few minutes saved.
Browsers can now do the whole job locally: decode video with the device’s own hardware, run a detection model at close to native speed, and encode the result back to MP4. Once that became possible, a tool that uploads your footage stopped being necessary.
Who builds it
AnonymizeVideo.app is built and maintained by Ben Samways. It is not backed by an advertising business, and it does not sell, share or store the footage you process — which is straightforward to promise given the footage never arrives in the first place.

How it is funded
The tool is free to use, with a small watermark on exported files. Removing the watermark costs £10, paid once. There is no subscription, no advertising and no data sold. Full details are on the pricing page.
