Blur license plates and faces in your dashcam video
Posting dashcam footage usually means showing someone's license plate — or a passer-by's face — to the whole internet. dashcamigo covers them before you share: draw a box over the plate or face, let it follow the object as it moves, and save the clip with the cover burned into the picture. It runs in your browser, so the video never leaves your device.
Open your recordingsShare the incident, not the bystanders
An insurance claim, a police report, a clip for a forum — the incident matters, the identities around it don't. A burned-in cover keeps other drivers' plates and pedestrians' faces out of it: the pixels themselves are replaced, so there is no hidden layer to peel back in the saved file.
And because dashcamigo has no server, the original recording stays on your device. The covering happens right in the browser tab, and the finished video is saved straight to your computer.
What you can do
- Pixelate — A coarse mosaic over the area — the recommended cover: clearly deliberate and hard to undo.
- Solid cover — An opaque fill that hides the area completely.
- Soft blur — A gentle blur — looks the nicest but hides the least; use it for cosmetics, not privacy.
- Follow the object — Mark a plate or a face once and the cover tracks it through the clip — correct it by hand at any moment.
- Fixed zone — Pin a cover to one spot for a time range — for your own plate, a reflection, or a screen in the cabin.
How to blur a plate or a face
- Plug the SD card into your computer and drop the whole folder onto dashcamigo.app.
- Open the trip, open export, and pick the range you want to save.
- Add a blur zone over the plate or face — let it follow the object, or pin it in place and set its time range by hand.
- Save — the cover is rendered into the video and the file is written straight to your computer.
Works with footage from any dashcam
Blurring a plate is usually the job of a video editor with a tracking plugin — a heavyweight tool for a 30-second clip. dashcamigo does it on the same page you watch your trips: it reads recordings from 70mai, BlackVue, Viofo, Garmin, Vantrue, Nextbase and dozens more, and the cover is drawn over the picture itself — so it works the same no matter which camera wrote the file.
Automatic follow downloads a small helper the first time you use it (it asks first) and works offline after that. It tracks one object per zone and can lose it in hard cases — glare, darkness, fast motion — so give the result a quick look before sharing; you can always move the box by hand. Saving re-encodes the video, and the editor is fullest in Chrome, Edge or another Chromium browser on a computer. For real privacy prefer pixelate or the solid cover — the soft blur is the weakest of the three.
FAQ
How do I blur a license plate in dashcam footage?
Open the trip, open export, and draw a blur zone over the plate. The cover can follow the car automatically as it moves through the frame. Pick the range, save — the blur is burned into the saved video.
Can the blur follow a moving car automatically?
Yes. Mark the plate or face once and the cover tracks it as it moves. If it drifts or loses the object, you'll see it in the preview — move the box by hand at any moment, your corrections take priority.
Can the blur be removed from the saved video?
The cover is rendered into the pixels of the saved file — there is no separate layer to switch off. Pixelate and the solid cover are hard to undo; the soft blur is the weakest of the three, so prefer the other two for privacy.
Is my video uploaded for the blurring?
No. There is no server. The recording is read locally, the following runs on your device, and the finished video is saved straight to your computer. Nothing leaves your device.
Is it free?
Yes — free, no sign-up, nothing to install. Open the page, drop your folder, blur and save.
