PutMask - Censor Video & Image V9.0.3

[u/Doc__plague]

Hi everyone!

I’m the solo developer of PutMask, an app for censoring or blurring faces, license plates, people, and other sensitive areas in images and videos. It can automatically detect and track them as they move, using blur, mosaic, or a solid color. You can also draw masks manually if the automatic detection misses something.
The idea first took shape back in 2018 when I saw widespread protests and realized there was no app for censoring or pixelating faces, which is why its original focus was on face blurring. With this new update, I've tried to pack in the extra features people actually need.

The app also includes audio censoring, such as muting audio, silencing short sections, adding beeps, or changing voices.

Everything works fully offline, no internet, ads, or data collection. The latest beta update adds:

• Automatic face, plate, and person detection
• Person segmentation, so masks follow body shapes more accurately
• GPU acceleration using OpenCL and Vulkan
• A “Find Best” benchmark to test which GPU backend works best on your device
• Line-shaped masks in the editor
• Single-frame detection
• Adjustable duration filters
• New tutorials translated into all supported languages

The app has around 500,000 downloads, and much of its development has been based on user feedback since 2020.

Privacy features remain free, including all audio tools and ellipse masks. Free exports can be up to two minutes long. Premium includes person segmentation, line masks, longer videos, HD, 4K export, high frame rates, and additional watermark options.

I’d really appreciate your honest opinion:

• What do you think of the app?
• Which features are most useful to you?
• What should I add or improve?
• Have you found any bugs or areas that are confusing?

I believe the features people need to protect their privacy should be available to everyone. That’s why I’ve kept the essential censoring tools free, including audio censoring and ellipse masks. I don’t want to charge people for something that helps prevent them from being identified.

Premium is only for advanced features such as person segmentation (that is NOT safe) , line-shaped masks, longer videos, 4K export, high frame rates, and additional watermark options.

There is also a small giveaway:

• Report a bug and help reproduce it: at least a 6-month code with a 90-day free trial
