5 Best Free Online Image and Video Tools in 2026 (Private, No Signup Needed)
Compress photos, blur faces, hide sensitive text and mask ID numbers, or blur faces in a video. All of them run in your browser, so your files are never uploaded.
A photo or video can reveal more than you intend: a face, an ID number, an account number on a screenshot. The tools below help you shrink, blur or hide those details before you share a file. Each one runs in your browser, so your photo or video stays on your device and is never uploaded.
We picked the 5 image and video tools on this site that run entirely in the browser. Each entry says what the tool does, when you need it, and how it helps in practice. All 5 are 100% private.
Compress and redact photos
1. Compress Image
Compresses a JPG, PNG or WebP to a low, medium or high version, or to a size such as 20 KB, 50 KB, 100 KB or 200 KB.
When you need it
- A form or job portal rejects a photo for being too large.
- A web page loads slowly because its images are big.
Practical use case
A candidate's photo must be under 50 KB for an exam form. Choosing the 50 KB target gives a file the portal accepts, without resizing the photo by hand.
2. Blur Faces in a Photo
Finds faces automatically, then blurs, pixelates, blacks out or covers them with an emoji.
When you need it
- You want to share a group photo without identifying a bystander.
- A photo from an event must be posted without showing one person's face.
Practical use case
A club posts photos from a weekend trip, and one member asked not to be identified. Blurring only that face keeps the rest of the picture intact.
3. Image PII Finder and Redactor
Finds sensitive text such as emails, phone numbers and account numbers in a photo or screenshot, and blacks it out.
When you need it
- A screenshot with personal details is about to be posted in a forum.
- A photo of a document shows account numbers you do not want to share.
Practical use case
A user reports a bug with a screenshot that shows their email and account number. Blacking out those values before attaching the screenshot to a support ticket keeps the rest of the screen readable.
4. Mask Aadhaar
Hides the first 8 digits of an Aadhaar number, or blacks out PAN, GSTIN and UPI IDs in a PDF or photo.
When you need it
- You must send an ID copy to a bank, employer or service that needs only part of the number.
- A PAN or GSTIN appears in a photo or PDF you are sharing.
Practical use case
A shopkeeper sends a customer's Aadhaar copy to a bank for verification. Masking the first 8 digits leaves only the last four visible. Check with the recipient what format they accept.
Video
5. Blur Faces in Video
Blurs faces through a video clip: click each person once and they stay blurred through the clip.
When you need it
- A video from an event shows people who did not agree to appear.
- A clip from a workplace or school must be posted without identifying anyone.
Practical use case
A school posts a video of sports day. Two families asked that their children not be shown. Clicking each child once blurs them through the clip, so the video can be shared without identifying them.
Which one should you use?
Start with what you are sharing. For a single photo, use Compress Image to meet a size limit, or Blur Faces in a Photo to hide a person. For a screenshot or a photographed document, use the Image PII Finder. For a video clip, use Blur Faces in Video.
