Available on Chrome
Blur anything on any page before you share it.
Draw a box, click an element, or auto-hide sensitive text. Nothing private leaks on a call, a screenshot, or a stream. Blurr.ing is a free Chrome extension that blurs anything on any web page. Draw a box, click an element, or auto-hide sensitive text (salaries, emails, API keys) so nothing private leaks on a call, a screenshot, or a stream.
- Private by design
- Works on any site
Screenshot capture
Take the screenshot too, with the private parts already blurred
Press the shortcut, drag over what you want, and Blurr.ing captures it with every blur baked into the pixels. Blur anything you missed on the image itself, set it on a background, then copy it or save it as PNG, JPEG or WebP. No screenshot editor, no second app.
Take the screenshot and edit it right there
The capture card opens over the page with the shot already in it. Everything that makes the image shareable is in one panel, and nothing is uploaded to get there.
- Blur areas
- Background presets
- Padding and rounded corners
- Shadow and border
- Save as PNG, JPEG or WebP
- Open in a full tab
Ctrl + Shift + SCmd + Shift + S (Cmd + Shift + S on Mac) opens the capture overlay. Drag an area, or take the whole visible page in one press.
-
Blur what should stay private
Draw a box, click an element, or select the text. The blur is a real layer on the live page, so the capture reads it like any other pixel.
-
Press the shortcut and drag
The overlay dims the page and waits. Drag over the area you want, or take the whole visible page in one press. The Blurr.ing toolbar takes itself out of the shot.
-
Redact, frame, save
Blur anything you missed straight on the image, add a background, padding, rounded corners or a shadow, then copy it or save it as PNG, JPEG or WebP.
The screenshot is made in your browser. It is never uploaded, and it is not stored anywhere until you save it yourself.
Five screenshots are included on the free plan. Premium makes them unlimited.

Where people use it
Built for the moment before you hit share
Whatever you're about to show the world, Blurr.ing keeps the private parts private.
Screen sharing on calls
Blur salaries, customer data and dashboards before you present on Zoom, Meet or Teams. Share a tab to hide the browser frame, and mask your other tab titles while you are at it.
Clean, redacted screenshots
Redact names, emails and account numbers before you capture a screenshot for docs, tutorials, support tickets or bug reports.
Demoing with real data
Hide API keys, secrets, connection strings and customer records with one tap before you demo, pair, or file a bug. Presets built for exactly this.
Streaming & recording
Auto-blur images, videos and ads, and hide your own name, email and address so you never dox yourself live on stream or in a tutorial recording.
Private by design
A privacy tool that respects your privacy
It would be strange for a tool that hides your data to collect it. So Blurr.ing doesn't. The blurring happens entirely in your browser, and we built it to stay that way.
Your blurs never leave your device
The regions you draw and the pages you blur are stored locally in your browser. Nothing about them is uploaded. There is no server that sees what you hid.
Nothing is captured unless you ask for it
Blurr.ing hides content with CSS right in the page and reads nothing on its own. The one picture it ever takes is the screenshot you press the shortcut for, and that image is built in your browser and never uploaded.
No third-party trackers. No ads.
The extension ships no third-party analytics or tracking scripts of any kind. It does record anonymous product events, such as an install, tied to a random id and never to page content. The blur engine works fully offline.
You choose what syncs
Sign in, which is optional, and your Auto-Blur and keyword rules follow you across devices. The account holds what Google returns at sign-in (your email address, name and profile picture), your subscription status and those rules. Everything else stays put.

Free holds one saved rule at a time and you can swap it whenever you like. Removing a blur is never gated, on any plan.
Why does it need access to every site?
Because the blur has to be drawn inside the page itself, and that can be any page. The permission is about reach, not collection: nothing about the pages you visit is uploaded, and the blurs you draw stay on your device.
What the permission doesWhat happens if I stop paying?
Nothing is deleted and nothing locks you out. The blurs on your screen stay drawn, removing them is always free, and you drop back to the free plan: one saved rule keeps running and the rest pause.
Is there a trial?
No, because the free plan is the trial. All three manual blurs, unlimited, on every site, forever, with no account and no card. Upgrade only when you want Blurr.ing to do the blurring for you, and cancel in one click if it turns out you do not.
FAQ
Questions, answered
Is Blurr.ing free?
Yes. The three manual blurs are free and unlimited on every page with no account: drag a box, click an element, or select a run of text. Free also holds one saved rule at a time, either an Auto Blur switch or a Blur Text keyword, and you can swap it whenever you like, plus three Tab Privacy activations. Premium removes the limits with unlimited saved rules, blurs that come back on every visit, and full blur controls, for $5 a month, $29 a year, or $39 once.
Does Blurr.ing protect my privacy, and where does my data go?
The blurs you draw and the list of pages you blurred stay entirely on your device. Blurr.ing hides content with CSS in your browser, reads nothing on the page and never uploads it, and includes no third-party analytics or trackers in the extension. The one image it ever makes is the screenshot you ask for, and that is built in your browser and never uploaded. If you create an account it holds what Google returns at sign-in (your email address, name and profile picture) and your subscription status; your Auto Blur and keyword rules sync so you get the same setup on another computer. Signing in is what enables sync, not paying. The blur engine itself keeps working offline.
Can Blurr.ing take the screenshot too?
Yes. Press Ctrl + Shift + S (Cmd + Shift + S on Mac) and drag over the part of the page you want, or take the whole visible page in one press. Every blur you drew is already baked into the pixels. The card that opens lets you blur anything you missed on the image itself, set it on a background, add padding, rounded corners and a shadow, then copy it or save it as PNG, JPEG or WebP. The screenshot is made in your browser and is never uploaded. Five screenshots are included on the free plan; Premium makes them unlimited.
Will blurred content stay hidden when I refresh the page?
With Premium, yes: Blurr.ing stores your blurs and blocks the first paint until they are back, so nothing flashes into view across reloads, single-page-app navigation, iframes, or the back button. On the free plan a blur lasts as long as you stay on the page. It follows you through an in-app navigation, but a refresh, a new navigation or a second tab clears it.
What is the difference between selecting text and Blur Text?
Selecting text is a one-off gesture: pick the mode in the toolbar, drag across a sentence, and only that run blurs, on that page, for free. Blur Text is a rule you save once and Blurr.ing applies for you, so every email address or card number is blurred the moment it appears, on every page that matches. The first is free and unlimited; the second is a saved rule, and free holds one at a time.
Does Blurr.ing work on every website?
Blurr.ing works on virtually any website, including single-page apps like LinkedIn, Gmail, Notion and Jira, content inside same-origin iframes at any depth, and elements inside open shadow DOM. You can blur a region, an element, or specific text in Chrome and other Chromium browsers such as Edge, Brave and Arc. Content inside a cross-origin frame cannot be reached individually, though you can blur the whole frame from the page around it.
Can I undo a blur or reveal it later?
Anytime. Select a blur and remove it from its own corner button, or open the toolbar trash to take away exactly what you mean: this page or every site, and which kind, with live counts before you commit. Hovering a blur always shows the Reveal pill; with Premium, clicking it peeks underneath and puts the blur straight back.
What can Blurr.ing hide automatically?
Auto Blur hides every image, video, SVG icon and ad on a page, a whole site, or everywhere you browse, and it catches late-loading content before the next frame paints. Blur Text redacts sensitive text using 34 built-in presets (emails, phone numbers, card numbers, IBANs, SSNs, API keys, crypto wallets and more) or any words you choose, combined with AND, OR and NOT. Your free saved rule runs one of these without paying.
Can Blurr.ing hide my notifications and my other apps during a screen share?
No. Blurr.ing works inside the browser page. It cannot hide operating system notifications, desktop windows, or anything outside Chrome. For those, share a single Chrome tab rather than your whole screen, and turn on Focus on macOS or Do Not Disturb on Windows. Inside the browser, Blurr.ing blurs any region, element or run of text, and Tab Privacy masks your other tab titles and favicons.
Can I hide my other tabs during a screen-share?
Yes. Tab Privacy masks tab titles and hides their favicons, so a glance at your tab strip on a call never reveals which sites you have open. There are two independent switches, this tab and all tabs, so you can hide everything except the one you are presenting, and seventeen ways to disguise a hidden title, from asterisks to a decoy that simply reads New Tab.
Which browsers does Blurr.ing support?
Blurr.ing is a Manifest V3 extension for Chrome and Chromium-based browsers, including Microsoft Edge, Brave and Arc. The extension’s own interface is in English; its Chrome Web Store listing is available in 55 languages.
