Can HideShot blur names on curved race bibs?

Draw a rectangle that fully covers the printed name area; include safety pins in the box if numbers sit beside the text.

Will blur hide names in reflected glass?

Cover the reflection region separately; mirrored text needs its own selection.

Should I blur first or last names only?

Blur whichever combination could identify someone in your audience; full names are safest.

Does name blur work on certificate JPGs?

Yes. Load the scan, blur the name line, and download before posting congratulations online.

Blur Name in Photo

Soften printed and on-screen names while keeping the scene recognizable.

🔒 No upload · Runs in your browser · Instant download

Names on marathon bibs, office door plaques, and graduation slides identify people even when faces are turned away. Targeted blur respects everyone else in frame who does not need editing.

HideShot lets you blur only the nameplate region on a group photo—faster than requesting a reshoot. Processing stays in-tab for school newsletters and volunteer blogs.
