@booligoosh scramble sensitive info, like credit cards. I do this all the time, to make training mp3s for customer service from actual calls. Right now I have to use audacity, and it's a pain. Would prefer a simple upload, and an option to say scramble audio from 1:10.30-1:15.25
Great idea to make this easy for people to use @wolkomir
You might want to add something to your site to advise on user privacy especially for those of us in Europe and who have to comply with GDPR!
It would be great to see the option of different shapes available or the ability to orientate the blur differently.
If the image is a transparent png will it be edited with the blur to still be a transparent png or is this meant for jpeg images and non transparent images?
I checked out your Fleeq website which looks like an interesting tool - can you narrate content rather than use AI generated voices? Also you Facebook and Twitter icons on the bottom of the site don't seem to link out to your social accounts FYI.
Is there any protection to the files when they are uploaded? are you using some end2end encryption to protect the data from your end? something like https://secure-monkey.com/index.... ?
Hey! Upload all your sensitive data to our *free* online web service! We promise we're not doing anything shady with it. Other than that, looks like a well-designed & easy to use tool albeit lacking some options in terms of blur amount (large text is still visible - such as the $4520 in the example on the homepage)
@hexacubist Thanks for the feedback, you are right, we should add a brief disclaimer.
A note on that: every couple of minutes we automatically remove all data ( which is not in active session ) from our servers.
With "Image blur" we tried to make a frequent and much-needed task super easy, and as such... "image blur" was born.
Upload an image, mark the section you would like to blur out ( mask) and click, that's it!
Simple as that :) No shady business here...its actually a side project born from our flagship product fleeq.io
@hexacubist @wolkomir why not do the blurring client side? Should be totally possible with canvas... uploading the sensitive data to the server really defeats the purpose doesn’t it?
@hexacubist @wolkomir Yeah, it's not that I think this product *is* doing something shady, but it does seem somewhat impervious to irony.
At this particular moment in our history, where data privacy is more than ever before a hot-button issue, it's pretty baffling that someone would release a product where you specifically upload your sensitive data to some company's servers with nothing more than a pinky promise that they won't read and make some use of it, especially when said product is "Powered by a company that does data tracking".
The intent *might be* noble, and the practices might be perfectly up-to-snuff, but the perception is not very far from that of Facebook asking people to upload their nude photos to "help combat revenge porn". Even if I had full trust in your company (I'm just not familiar enough with it to do so), I don't trust the infallibility of your server's security to ever use this. Sorry.
I like the look and feel of it, but I also feel like this shouldn't be a website, but an app which I can explicitly forbid to access network. Like Black Out by @sindresorhus https://www.producthunt.com/post...
Otherwise I can't really entrust my private information to such a service
It's not a cons, maybe a nice feature to add in the future, marking more than one are and then press Blur and you get all blurred at once.
But I love this, will use it.
Pros:Simple, fast, solve problem without heavy software
Cons:None
@scottmilleratx yes that's why i created https://blurweb.app it works as a chrome extension so no data every leave your device not just image you can use it to blur and it will stay
We need:
- extension
- high blur level
Pros:So easy to use
Cons:blur isn't enought, wanna pixelated mode :)
