What is it about?

**Obscuro** makes it effortless to protect privacy in photos. Import or drag‑and‑drop an image, Obscuro detects faces (and other sensitive areas) on‑device, then applies precise, soft blurs. You can also **manually draw** blur rectangles to cover anything the model missed — license plates, documents, screens, house numbers, and more. Finally, export as **PNG or JPEG** (with quality control on iOS and macOS) or **save directly to Photos** (iOS).
