Editor Blur Tool

This tool applies configurable blur to text inside an online editor to redact or obscure sensitive content while preserving overall structure and readability for review and collaboration. It targets writers, editors, compliance teams, educators, researchers, and content teams who must share drafts without disclosing sensitive information. The capability supports escalation points in review cycles and redaction workflows across documents, contracts, and internal notes.
Users input or paste content, choose a blur method (Gaussian, box, or mosaic) and a radius, and then apply the blur to the entire document or specific regions. The process yields a blurred_text output and a blur_map that records which spans were altered, enabling audit trails and verification by reviewers.
Processing is Unicode-aware and aims to preserve whitespace and basic formatting so that the sanitized text remains legible in context. Outputs can be exported as plain text or JSON for integration with other tools, pipelines, or data catalogs. The approach is designed for privacy-focused workflows, regulatory redaction, and collaboration without exposing sensitive data.
Typical use cases include redacting identifiers in contracts, masking student responses before external sharing, and preparing safe previews of drafts for stakeholders. Unique value propositions include multiple blur methods, region-level control, auditable blur maps, and straightforward export options that fit into standard editing and review processes.
