Censor any image, no mask tools needed
For anyone sharing a screenshot or a group photo, censoring an image means hiding a face, a plate, or a name before it goes public. Upload the picture, type what to cover and how, and VEED's image censor generates the edit. A black bar, a blur, or a pixel block, placed where you said.
Social media managers use it to hide bystanders in event photos. Support teams blur account numbers in help-center screenshots. Creators black out a license plate or a street sign before a vlog thumbnail goes up. If you want the thing gone instead of covered, the object remover handles that.
How to censor an image:
Step 01
Upload your image
Drop in the photo or screenshot. The tool works on group shots, documents, chat screenshots, and street scenes. If several faces need covering, upload the clearest version you have so the AI can tell them apart.
Step 02
Describe what to censor and how
Type it into the prompt field: "put a black censor bar over the eyes of the person on the left," "pixelate the license plate," or "blur the name and address on the envelope." You can keep the default model or pick another to compare results.
Step 03
Download, vary, or animate
Save the censored image, or run a second pass with a more specific prompt if a corner of the plate is still showing. To use it in a tutorial or a reaction clip, place it in a project with add photo to video.
Censor a face by pointing at it in words
There is no lasso tool and no mask layer. Tell the AI image editor which face to cover and what style you want, and it places the censor where you said. "The man in the red jacket, black bar across the eyes." "Everyone except the two people in front, blurred." "The kid at the table, pixelated." The face censor follows the head angle, so a tilted face gets a tilted bar.
Try a black bar, a blur, and a pixel block from one upload
The right censor depends on where the image is going. A black bar reads as editorial and hides the eyes completely. A blur keeps the scene feeling natural in a lifestyle photo. Pixelation is the convention for screenshots and license plates. Generate one version of each from the same upload, compare them side by side, and pick the one that fits the post. If you change your mind later, the original is still there to re-prompt.
Censor the photo, then censor the clip it goes into
A covered face in a thumbnail is only half the job if the video shows the same person. Drop the censored image into the video editor as a cover frame, then blur or pixelate the moving footage with the censor video tool so the still and the clip match. Add captions and a voiceover, resize for YouTube or TikTok, and publish from the same project.
FAQ
Upload the photo to VEED's AI image editor, type what to cover and how in the prompt field, and generate. Name the person or object and the style, for example "black bar over the eyes of the woman on the right" or "pixelate the license plate." Download the result, or adjust the prompt and run it again.
Yes. Describe everyone you want covered in a single prompt, such as "blur every face except the speaker," and the image censor applies the same treatment to each one. For a group of ten or more, check the result closely and run a second prompt for any face it missed.
A solid black bar is the safest, because there is nothing underneath to recover. A heavy pixel block is next. A light blur can sometimes be reversed on faces and text, so if the image is going public, choose a bar or coarse pixelation and make it larger than the area you are hiding.
Censoring an image in VEED uses AI credits, so the cost depends on the AI model you pick and how many results you generate. The credit cost shows on screen before you generate, so there are no surprises. Paid plans include AI credits, and the VEED pricing page lists current plans and what each one includes.
Yes. Upload a chat screenshot, a form, or a letter and ask the tool to blur or black out specific lines: an account number, an address, a name in a message. Say exactly which text to hide so the rest stays readable. Download the censored version and share it with confidence.

I found VEED at the right time: if you're making UGC ads and not using Eye Contact Correction and Noise Reduction on VEED you're missing out on ROI.
