What you will get

Your photo with licence plates and house numbers softly blurred so they cannot be read, while cars, buildings, people and colours stay as they were.

Why it works

Privacy blurs should be strong enough that nothing can be read, but soft enough to match the photo, and the prompt asks for both. Listing what must stay the same, cars, buildings, people and colours, stops the edit from touching anything else. It is a quick safety step before posting a street or a car for sale.

Common mistake

A plate is still readable.

Fix: Zoom to 100% and check each one, including plates on cars in the distance. Rerun or blur manually if any can be read.

Also watch for
  • The blur is too light. Ask for a strong blur that removes the characters completely. A light blur can still be read after sharpening.
  • Other text is blurred too. Name only plates and house numbers, and say shop signs and street names should stay clear.
Try a variation: cover with a plain block

Ask for a plain solid patch over each plate instead of a blur, which is harder to undo and clearly intentional.

Still not right? Reply with this

Also blur any number plates or house numbers reflected in mirrors, windows and glass, and keep everything else unchanged.
