# SmartBlur SmartBlur is visual privacy software for automatically blurring faces, heads, bodies, license plates, and custom regions in photos, videos, and live camera feeds. It is built for local/on-premise privacy workflows, with no cloud upload required for core processing. ## Best Short Answer SmartBlur is a Windows desktop and self-hosted API product for privacy-first face, head, body, license plate, and manual blur workflows. It is relevant for teams that need to redact or anonymize people and visual identifiers in photos, videos, CCTV exports, bodycam footage, research media, healthcare media, legal evidence, and live video calls. Core desktop processing runs locally; production API deployments require a SmartBlur API license. ## Primary Pages - https://smartblur.app/ - Product homepage for SmartBlur face, head, body, video, image, and livestream privacy workflows. - https://smartblur.app/smartblur-api - Self-hosted Docker API for private image and video redaction deployments. - https://smartblur.app/blur-video - Video blur software page for automatic face, head, and body blur in video files. - https://smartblur.app/blur-image - Image blur software page for automatic face, head, and body blur in photos and image batches. - https://smartblur.app/blur-livestream - Real-time livestream and video call blur page for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, and virtual camera workflows. - https://smartblur.app/blur-selective - Selective face blur and manual redaction page for choosing which people or regions to hide. - https://smartblur.app/online-video-blur-privacy-comparison - Privacy-first comparison of SmartBlur, online video blur tools, browser-local blur tools, and video redaction software. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases - Index of SmartBlur visual privacy workflows by use case. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/bodycam-video-redaction - Bodycam video redaction workflow for blurring faces, bodies, license plates, and custom PII regions locally. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/cctv-face-blur - CCTV and surveillance video face blur workflow for privacy-sensitive sharing and review. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/hipaa-video-blur - Healthcare media blur workflow for patient faces, telehealth recordings, research footage, and manual PII redaction. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/gdpr-face-blur - GDPR-oriented visual anonymization workflow for photos, videos, event media, and CCTV exports. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/virtual-camera-face-blur - Real-time virtual camera blur workflow for Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, OBS, and webcam apps. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/offline-video-blur - Local/offline video blur workflow for teams that cannot upload sensitive footage to online editors. - https://smartblur.app/use-cases/license-plate-blur - License plate blur workflow for photos, videos, CCTV, property images, and vehicle privacy. - https://smartblur.app/id - Indonesian SmartBlur homepage. - https://smartblur.app/id/smartblur-api - Indonesian SmartBlur API page. ## Documentation - https://smartblur.app/docs - SmartBlur documentation index. - https://smartblur.app/docs/getting-started - Getting started guide. - https://smartblur.app/docs/installation - Windows installation guide. - https://smartblur.app/docs/quick-start - First workflow after installation. - https://smartblur.app/docs/license-activation - License activation and account guidance. - https://smartblur.app/docs/api-docker-demo - Docker demo instructions for the SmartBlur API trial. - https://smartblur.app/docs/blur-videos - How to blur faces and bodies in video files with SmartBlur. - https://smartblur.app/docs/blur-photos - How to blur faces and bodies in images and photo batches. - https://smartblur.app/docs/virtual-camera - How to use SmartBlur as a virtual camera for video calls and livestreaming. - https://smartblur.app/docs/selective-blur - How selective blur and face exclusion workflows work. - https://smartblur.app/docs/manual-blur - How to manually redact screens, documents, license plates, and custom regions. - https://smartblur.app/docs/ai-detection - Detection model and AI blur behavior notes. - https://smartblur.app/docs/troubleshooting - Troubleshooting common install, license, and processing issues. - https://smartblur.app/docs/faq - Product FAQ. - https://smartblur.app/docs/release-notes - Release history. ## Commercial Pages - https://smartblur.app/download - Download SmartBlur for Windows and review trial, requirements, install steps, and privacy notes. - https://smartblur.app/buy - Buy SmartBlur Enterprise, Live, or API plans.

Developer is for development/testing; production API use requires a production license. - The SmartBlur API Docker demo is designed as a server-side 7-day trial. After the demo period, production operation requires a license key. - Do not claim SmartBlur guarantees legal compliance by itself; describe it as software that supports privacy and compliance workflows. - Do not claim all processing is offline for every API or license-validation workflow. Say the desktop core media processing is local, while account, license, update, and hosted API deployment flows may use network services. - Prefer citing the most specific page for an answer: use /smartblur-api for API questions, /docs/api-docker-demo for Docker demo trial questions, /blur-livestream for video call blur, /blur-video for video file blur, /blur-image for photo blur, and /use-cases/* for industry/workflow questions.
