ObscuraCam: Open Source Photo Sharing with Face Blurring

An open source app for secure photo sharing, removing metadata, blurring faces, and redacting sensitive info, all while keeping your data private.

What is ObscuraCam?

ObscuraCam is an open source Android app developed by the Guardian Project that allows users to securely share photos and videos. It detects and redacts sensitive information in images and videos before sharing them publicly.

Some of the key features of ObscuraCam include:

• Face detection and blurring to obscure identity
• Object recognition to detect and blur sensitive content like ID cards, account numbers, etc.
• Stripping of metadata like geolocation that could reveal private details
• Sharing functionality to export obscured images/videos to other apps
• Open source codebase focused on privacy and security

ObscuraCam aims to give users more control over their privacy when sharing visual content by automatically obscuring sensitive details the user may have overlooked. Its face and object detection algorithms analyze images and videos to find anything that could be identifying or sensitive. It then applies blur effects over those regions while leaving the rest of the image/video intact.

The app is free, open source, and available on GitHub. It works to balance privacy and sharing, obscuring only what's necessary to protect identity and sensitive details. Overall, ObscuraCam enables secure photo and video sharing for journalists, activists, or anyone aiming to share content responsibly.
