What is blurmyplate?
blurmyplate is a privacy-focused web tool that automatically detects and blurs license plates in car photos before they are published online. Upload a photo, review the detected plate area, apply a natural blur, strip metadata, and export an image that is ready for marketplaces, listing sites, forums, and social media. The product focuses on privacy, speed, and simple visual results instead of heavy editing workflows.
Who it's for
- Private vehicle sellers — who want to list their car online without exposing their license plate to strangers.
- Small dealerships and flippers — who process multiple car photos regularly and need a fast, repeatable blurring workflow.
- Marketplace and forum users — who post car listings on Craigslist, OfferUp, Cars.com, AutoTrader, or similar platforms and want to reduce scam risk.
Key features
Automatic license plate detection
The AI detects license plates in standard car photos automatically. Failed auto-detects do not burn a credit, so you only pay for successful blurs.
Preview before you pay
You can review the detected plate area and see the blur result before committing any credits. No account is needed for the first 3 photos.
Privacy-first processing
Photos are encrypted in transit, EXIF metadata is stripped on export, and all uploaded images are auto-deleted within 30 days. You can also delete them manually at any time from your account.
Multi-format support and batch upload
Drop multiple JPG, PNG, or HEIC files at once — each up to 25 MB. HEIC images are converted to JPG on export while keeping the original resolution.
What stands out
"What goes public is the car — not your name, not your address, not a license plate anyone can clone."
This one-liner captures the core promise: blurmyplate treats license plate blurring as a privacy and security measure, not just a cosmetic edit. The tool is built around the idea that a static license plate in a listing is fundamentally different from one seen in passing traffic — it can be saved, copied, reposted, and paired with seller profile clues. By removing that identifier early, sellers reduce the risk of plate cloning, scam reuse, and unwanted tracking without hurting the listing's trustworthiness.
Worth checking out if…
You are selling a car online and want to keep your license plate private without spending time in photo editing software. blurmyplate is especially useful if you list on multiple marketplaces, process several car photos at once, or want a simple workflow that handles detection, blurring, and metadata stripping in one go. The first 3 photos are free with no account required, so you can test the result before buying credits.
