Screen blur tool for privacy. Hide sensitive info before you share on Zoom, Meet, or Teams. 100% local — nothing is ever uploaded.
BlurScreen — Screen Blur Tool for Privacy & Screen Sharing
Protect sensitive information while you share your screen. BlurScreen lets you draw persistent, live blur zones over anything on a web page — an email address, a customer name, a Slack message, an account balance — so it's safe to demo, present, or screen-share on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams without scrambling to hide things first.
Think of it as a screen blur / privacy filter you control precisely, region by region, rather than an all-or-nothing camera blur.
FEATURES
• Draw rectangular or elliptical blur zones directly on any page
• Move, resize, rename, and delete zones; adjust blur intensity and overlay opacity per zone
• 5 blur styles: Gaussian, Frosted, Defocus, Blocky, and Solid
• Live blur that keeps working as the page scrolls, resizes, or an app navigates (SPA-aware) — never a static screenshot
• One-key quick-hide (⌘⇧B / Ctrl+Shift+B) for live presentations
• Presentation Mode strips away all editing UI so only the blur is visible
• Per-site permissions, per-domain zone sets, and named presets
BUILT FOR PRIVACY, NOT JUST MARKETED THAT WAY
BlurScreen makes zero network requests. There is no analytics, no crash reporting, no cloud OCR, no remote config. Everything — zone positions, sizes, labels, and settings — is stored only in Chrome's local storage, on your device, and is never transmitted anywhere.
BlurScreen also never asks for access to every website up front. It requests permission for one site at a time, the first time you use it there, through Chrome's own native permission prompt — you can revoke access for any site at any time from the Options page.
WHAT BLURSCREEN BLURS
Sharing a Chrome tab or window: the blur is fully visible to everyone, because it's baked into the page's own rendered pixels before any screen-sharing tool captures them. Sharing your entire screen: BlurScreen's blur still applies to Chrome's content, but — like any browser extension — it cannot draw over other applications (Slack, Terminal, your menu bar, etc.).
KEYBOARD SHORTCUTS
⌘⇧B / Ctrl+Shift+B — quick-hide all blur areas instantly
⌘⇧A / Ctrl+Shift+A — start drawing a new blur area

- If you ever share your screen on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, or if you record tutorials and demos, you need the BlurScreen extension. It is hands-down the easiest way to hide sensitive information before you start sharing.Instead of scrambling to close tabs or worrying about accidentally exposing personal data, client names, emails, or API keys, BlurScreen lets you seamlessly blur out specific parts of any webpage. Here is why I love it and highly recommend it:Incredibly Easy to Use: You can quickly draw blur zones over exactly what you want to hide, or just click elements to blur them. It’s intuitive and works instantly. Live & Persistent: The blur stays put exactly where you want it even if you scroll or resize the page. 100% Private & Local: As someone who cares about privacy, I love that nothing is uploaded to the cloud. All the processing happens locally on your device, so your data stays yours. No More Post-Editing: It saves so much time if you record videos. You don’t have to go back and painstakingly blur out sensitive info in a video editor later.It does exactly what it promises without any bloated features or complicated setups. Install it—you'll wonder how you ever presented or recorded without it!
