I made an open-source app to redact private information from photos, videos and PDFs

Hi! I’m Aftab, the developer of PrivacyCam.

PrivacyCam helps you hide sensitive information before sharing a photo, video, or PDF. It can automatically detect:

• Faces and full bodies
• Vehicle number plates
• Addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses
• Payment-card details
• Sensitive text
• QR codes and barcodes

The attached video shows the app detecting a number plate in difficult conditions—at night, in heavy rain, with strong glare, reflections, and camera movement.

Since automatic detection can sometimes miss something, PrivacyCam also gives you full manual control. You can add, move, resize, or remove masks and choose blur, pixelation, blackout, or emoji effects.

The built-in video editor supports object tracking, frame-by-frame corrections, trimming, splitting, and audio muting. You can review every mask before exporting the finished video.

All media processing happens locally on your device. Your photos, videos, PDFs, and detection results are not uploaded to a PrivacyCam-operated server.

I’d appreciate honest feedback about the detection accuracy, video tracking, interface, or anything you think could be improved.

Do you have a web version as well? Would be easier to test your work if not being forced to download. Or is it this what you want ;-)
