Photo Anonymizer
Remove or obscure identifying details before sharing images.
Photo Anonymizer is a privacy-focused tool concept for quickly finding and obscuring visible identifying details before you post, send, or store an image.
Share the image, not the personal details hiding in it.

Why this exists
Most accidental privacy leaks are boring: a badge in the corner, a screen in the background, a label nobody noticed. Photo Anonymizer exists to make that final check easier before an image leaves your hands.
Photo Anonymizer is a privacy utility concept. It does not guarantee that all identifying information will be detected or removed.
