# Social Media Screenshot Privacy - Blur ID

Last updated: 2026-05-19

Blur ID helps people share social media screenshots while protecting the identities and personal information of the people shown in those screenshots.

## What to Blur Before Posting

- Profile photos and avatars
- Display names
- Usernames and handles
- Faces in photos
- Private messages
- Location details
- Phone numbers, email addresses, and other personal text

## Why Social Media Screenshots Need Privacy Protection

Social media screenshots can spread far beyond the original audience. Even if a post, comment, or profile was visible to you, resharing a screenshot can expose someone to unwanted attention, search, harassment, or identification.

## How Blur ID Helps

1. Import the social media screenshot.
2. Let Blur ID automatically detect faces, avatars, names, and sensitive text.
3. Review the detected areas.
4. Export a privacy-protected version for sharing.

## Common Platforms

Blur ID can help sanitize screenshots from Instagram, X/Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, LinkedIn, Snapchat, Reddit, and other social platforms.
