Hide the Aadhaar Number in a Photo
Images & QR100% freeFiles never leave your device
The short answer
Draw a box over the Aadhaar number and the tool covers it with solid black, which cannot be undone, then saves a new picture. Black is the default because blur and pixels can sometimes be reversed. Share the new file, never the original.
Your files stay on your device. This tool runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded to a server.

Frequently asked questions
Is blur good enough for an Aadhaar number?
Blur and pixel effects can sometimes be partly undone, especially with large digits. Use solid black for ID numbers and keep blur for faces and decoration.
Does hiding the number change the image quality?
Only inside the boxes. The rest of the picture is saved as it was, so the file size stays similar.
