Ai face blurring in VIDIO

The short answer

If you are a developer anonymising faces and plates at volume for GDPR, Blurit's API and per-MB credits are a good match. Its Starter tier gives 50 free credits, where one credit is 1 MB of video.

If you edit one video at a time and need more than faces and plates hidden, VIDIO adds text obfuscation and audio redaction, and lets you keep chosen people visible in face blurring.

Where Blurit is the better fit

API first. Blurit can sit inside your own pipeline. VIDIO does not offer an API.
Images and video. It handles still images as well as video.
Credit packs. Buying credits by the pack suits irregular, high-volume jobs.
Narrow and focused. If faces and plates are all you need, a single-purpose tool keeps things simple.

Where VIDIO is the better fit

Text and screens covered. Video text obfuscation finds signs, screens and form fields and keeps them unreadable.
Spoken names bleeped. Audio redaction catches phone numbers, emails and addresses in speech.
Leave the right person clear. In face blurring, turn the blur off for the person who agreed to be filmed.
Car-video presets. Hide plates in car videos keeps your own plate readable and your dashcam overlay intact.

Using both

Developers can keep Blurit's API for automated batches and use VIDIO when a single video needs text, audio or selective face handling that an API job does not cover.
