Private redaction API for your own product.

Use SmartBlur where the desktop app is not enough.
Desktop is for operators. SmartBlur API is for systems that need repeatable redaction inside a private backend.
SaaS uploads
Redact user-uploaded images or videos before review, sharing, or storage.
CCTV exports
Process surveillance exports before external disclosure or investigation handoff.
Compliance workflows
Add face, head, body, and plate redaction to internal privacy processes.
Batch automation
Run redaction jobs from scripts, workers, or existing media pipelines.
Self-hosted by design.
No public SmartBlur media endpoint is required. Your files stay in your own infrastructure. The demo Docker compose starts a server-side 7-day trial; production deployments require a license key by default.
Try the API without contacting sales.
The Docker demo runs locally, validates a 7-day trial through smartblur.app, and stops serving after expiration while keeping named volumes intact.
