Blur license plates and private details

Drop a video. Vidova finds license plates, shipping labels, receipts, payment cards, IDs and screens that show personal details, and covers each one with a black box that follows it. You download the video as an MP4.

Drop a video

Up to 10 seconds without signing in: longer files are cut to their first 10 seconds on your device. Signed in, up to 10 minutes.

How to hide license plates and private details in a video

  1. Add your video

    Drop a video in the box above. Tick Cover faces too to hide people's faces as well. Without signing in, Vidova covers the first 10 seconds.

  2. Wait for the details

    A vision model looks at the video once a second and names each private detail it sees. A tracker follows each detail through the frames between, with its corners as it turns.

  3. Check the covers

    Each detail gets an opaque black box that follows it and stays a moment longer where the tracker lost it. Play the video and check every cover before you post it.

  4. Download or edit

    Download the MP4, or open the video in the Vidova editor to add a cover or remove one.

Frequently asked questions

Is the tool free?

Yes. Without signing in you can cover the first 10 seconds of a video 2 times a day, and the video has the Vidova mark. With a Vidova account, a video can be up to 10 minutes long and uses the credits of your plan.

Why a black box and not a blur?

A light blur over text or numbers can sometimes be read again. An opaque black box cannot, so the private detail stays private.

What does it find?

License plates, shipping and address labels, receipts, payment cards, IDs, parcel barcodes, and screens or documents that show a name, an address, an email, a phone number, an order or tracking number, a card number or a one-time code. Faces too when you tick Cover faces too.

Does it find everything?

It checks the frames between its looks and covers what it missed there too, but a detail that shows for a moment only can be missed. Always watch the video before you post it.

Is my video uploaded?

Yes. The search runs in the cloud, so the video is uploaded. A video uploaded without signing in is deleted a day later.
