Select What Stays Private
How to Censor Parts of a Video Without Hiding the Whole Frame
Choose only the person, object, text, or surrounding area that should be concealed. UniConverter combines automatic face detection with user-selected object tracking for different visual privacy tasks.
Vehicles
License Plates
Draw a box around a plate and let object tracking keep the censor aligned while the vehicle moves.
Private Data
Names, Addresses & Text
Conceal addresses, shipping labels, emails, account details, API keys, prices, or other readable information.
Screens
Documents & Displays
Cover computer screens, phones, dashboards, contracts, whiteboards, badges, or forms without recording again.
Publishing
Logos & Usernames
Hide platform handles, profile names, labels, brand marks, or other identifiers in reused footage.
Locations
Private Background Details
Use Reverse to keep the selected subject clear while hiding a room, address clues, monitors, or bystanders around it.
Auto Censor Video
Let AI Handle Repeated Motion—Keep Control of the Result
Automatic video censoring should reduce manual repositioning without removing the review step. Select the right mode, customize the effect, and confirm coverage before export.
AI Face Blur mode
Automatically Find the Faces You Need to Censor
AI scans the footage and shows detected face thumbnails. Choose one face, multiple faces, or all detected faces instead of locating the same person throughout the video by hand.
- Useful for crowds, events, interviews, classes, and public-space videos.
- Censor selected people without covering everyone in the frame.
- Keep the effect attached as the detected face moves.
Object Tracking Blur mode
Censor Something That Moves Through the Video
Draw a box around a plate, screen, label, username, document, badge, tattoo, or other target. AI follows the selected object so the censor area does not need to be repositioned frame by frame.
- Start with a user-selected target rather than an unsupported promise of automatic object detection.
- Use the same workflow for moving and stationary details.
- Preview tracking when the target turns, overlaps, or leaves the frame.
Effect control
Adjust How Strongly the Selected Area Is Hidden
Choose from Particle, Smear, Pastel, Sketch, Horizontal, Blur, Cross, Ink, Mosaic, and Paint. Then adjust Strength, Feather, and Opacity to fit the sensitivity of the footage and the visual style of the edit.
- Use Blur for a softer, less distracting cover.
- Use Mosaic for a familiar censored-video appearance.
- Sticker will be added in V18 for a more casual way to cover faces or objects.
Desktop workflow
Censor Multiple Videos Locally, Then Keep Editing
Add multiple files (coming soon in V18), review each clip, and export from the same desktop workflow. The original uncensored footage does not need to be uploaded to an unfamiliar online video censoring tool, and you can continue converting, compressing, trimming, or enhancing afterward.
- Useful for repeated social clips, dashcam files, interviews, lessons, or training recordings.
- Keep privacy review and media processing in one application.
- Available on Windows and macOS.
Video Censor Effect Guide
Choose a Censor Effect for the Information You Need to Hide
A useful censor video editor should match the effect to the target: a natural-looking blur, a clear broadcast-style mosaic, or a more creative cover. Always review small text and identifying details at the final export size.
Blur
A softer option that blends into vlogs, interviews, tutorials, and professional footage without drawing as much attention to the covered area.
- Good for faces and larger visual details
- Increase Strength when identity must be less recognizable
- Use Feather for softer edges
Mosaic
A visibly censored look commonly used for faces, license plates, text, and sensitive footage where the audience should immediately understand that content is hidden.
- Good for plates, names, labels, and screen data
- Pair with tracking for moving targets
- Preview after resizing or compression
Creative Blur Styles
Particle, Smear, Pastel, Sketch, Horizontal, Cross, Ink, and Paint can make the covered area fit entertainment, social, or stylized content.
- Useful when censorship is also part of the visual design
- Adjust Opacity to balance coverage and style
- V18 adds a Sticker option
Important: A video censor effect obscures what viewers can see in the exported video; it does not remove the underlying detail from your original source file. Keep the uncensored original protected and verify the final export before publishing.
How It Works
How to Censor a Video with UniConverter
To add a censor to a video, use AI Face Blur mode when the target is a person. Use Object Tracking Blur mode when you need to censor another part of the video, such as a license plate, screen, label, username, or document.
Step 1. Add the video
Open AI Video Blur and import one video or add multiple clips to the file list.
Step 2. Select and customize the censor
Choose detected faces or box another target, then select a Blur Style and adjust Strength, Feather, and Opacity.
Step 3. Preview and export
Check tracking and coverage, make any corrections, choose the save location, and export the censored video or batch.
Before Export
Review the Censored Video—Especially Where Tracking Gets Hard
AI reduces repetitive masking, but the final privacy decision still belongs to the editor. Preview the processed clip and check the moments most likely to expose a target briefly.
- Fast motion and sudden camera movement
- Faces or objects crossing behind another subject
- Targets entering or leaving the edge of the frame
- Small text after resizing or compression
- Changes in lighting, angle, or object shape
- Every person or detail selected for censorship
Real-World Censoring
When Should You Censor Something in a Video?
Use visual censorship before footage is published, delivered, reviewed, or reused whenever the frame contains identities, records, locations, or details that should not be exposed.
Vlogs & Social Videos
Censor bystanders, children, usernames, plates, or recognizable location details before posting public-space footage.

Scope Clarification
Visual vs. Audio Censoring: What AI Video Blur Covers
“Censor video” can describe two different jobs: hiding something viewers can see or masking something they can hear. UniConverter AI Video Blur is built for visual censoring—placing an effect over a face, object, text, or area and tracking the selected target when it moves.
Visual Video Censoring
Hide faces, plates, addresses, screens, documents, usernames, logos, and selected moving objects. UniConverter's AI Video Blur is designed for this workflow.
Supported by AI Video BlurAudio Profanity Censoring
Mute spoken words or cover them with a bleep. AI Video Blur does not automatically detect profanity or censor speech, so use an audio-editing workflow when the problem is in the soundtrack.
Different workflow requiredIn this guide: “auto censor video” refers to automatic face detection and AI tracking for visual elements—not automatic moderation of speech, nudity, or policy violations.

Censor Video FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers about how to censor a video, automatically track moving targets, choose visual effects, review coverage, and understand what AI Video Blur does not censor.
Import the video, choose the face or area that should be hidden, apply a blur or mosaic effect, preview the coverage, and export. In UniConverter, use AI Face Blur mode for detected faces or Object Tracking Blur mode for another selected target.
It can automate visual censoring in two ways: AI detects faces for you to select, and object tracking follows another target after you draw a box around it. It does not automatically decide which content violates a policy.
Not in AI Video Blur. This feature censors visual details such as faces, plates, screens, and text. It does not automatically detect or bleep profanity in the audio track.
Select a detected face or draw a box around the specific part you need to conceal. The rest of the frame remains visible. Use Reverse only when you want to keep the selected subject clear and blur the surrounding background.
Use Object Tracking Blur mode, draw a box around the moving target, and let AI follow it through the clip. Preview moments with fast movement, overlap, or changes in angle before exporting.
Yes. AI detects multiple faces and lets you select one person, several people, or all detected faces for censorship.
You can select license plates, usernames, logos, screens, documents, badges, addresses, labels, tattoos, whiteboards, and other moving or stationary visual details.
No. Face detection and selected-object tracking reduce frame-by-frame repositioning. You should still preview the output and correct any moment where the target is not fully covered.
Yes. Add multiple videos to the UniConverter desktop workflow on Windows or macOS, review each clip, and export locally without sending the uncensored source files to an unfamiliar online censor site.
Use Blur for a softer and less distracting cover, Mosaic for a clearly censored look, or one of the creative Blur Styles for social or entertainment content. Increase Strength when identifying details need stronger concealment and always verify the final export.
Censor What Viewers Shouldn’t See
Detect faces, track selected moving objects, adjust the censor effect, review coverage, and export a share-ready copy in one local desktop workflow.
