How to check a screenshot before sharing it
Blurri's manual photo tools can cover selected areas of a screenshot. First identify all private details, since chat headers, previews and repeated names often reveal more than the main text.
App used in this guide: Blurri ↗
Before you begin
Read the screenshot from top to bottom. Look for names, phone numbers, email addresses, account details, notification previews and small profile pictures before choosing where to edit.
Step by step
- Open the screenshot in Blurri's photo editor.
- Use manual drawing to cover every relevant area.
- Adjust the brush and intensity for small text and edges.
- Save a separate edited image and inspect it at high zoom.
Check the result
Check the final file rather than the editing screen alone. Make sure you are about to share the edited copy, and consider whether visible context still identifies the person or account.
Limits and troubleshooting
Blur is not equivalent to secure redaction. If passwords, access tokens or highly sensitive records are present, avoid sharing them and use a workflow that removes the information rather than relying on a subtle visual effect.
