What is video redaction software?

  1. 1Video redaction software detects visual identifiers in each frame of a video.
  2. 2PiiBlur applies blur or pixelation to selected categories such as heads, plates, screens, and signs.
  3. 3Teams can process clips through the dashboard or automate recurring jobs with the REST API and webhooks.

API and dashboard fit

  • Use the dashboard when a team needs to upload, process, and download clips without engineering work.
  • Use the API when video redaction needs to run inside a product, evidence workflow, or media pipeline.
  • Use webhooks when jobs should move automatically to review, storage, or publication after processing.

When PiiBlur is not the right fit

  • PiiBlur does not redact audio, transcripts, documents, or PDFs.
  • PiiBlur is not an on-premise deployment and is not a chain-of-custody evidence platform.
  • PiiBlur does not certify legal, medical, CJIS, FOIA, HIPAA, GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, or SOC 2 compliance.

Compliance note

PiiBlur supports visual redaction workflows and can help reduce exposure as one step in a broader privacy or compliance program. It does not certify GDPR, CCPA, FERPA, HIPAA, SOC 2, CJIS, FOIA, or medical compliance. Consult legal or compliance counsel for your specific obligations.

How to redact video with PiiBlur

Use multipart uploads for images and videos. Redaction jobs are asynchronous, so production workflows should poll the media endpoint or listen for webhook events.
