For web pages
Blur it in the page, before the screenshot
When the thing you are capturing is a web page, skip the editing step. The Blurr.ing Chrome extension blurs any region, element or line of text in the live page, so screenshots, screen shares and recordings only ever contain blurred pixels. Drawing blurs is free and unlimited.
- Draw a box, select text or click an element. Free and unlimited.
- Screenshots come out with the blurs already in the picture. 5 free, unlimited on Premium.
- Auto Blur, Blur Text and Tab Privacy hide things for you on every page. Try each one free.
Free to install, for Chrome on a computer.
