Overview

BlurShield is the essential privacy extension for content creators, screen recorders, live streamers, and professionals who share their screens. Automatically detect and blur sensitive data with AI-powered technology—no editing, no stress, no accidental exposure. Perfect for YouTube tutorials, Twitch streams, client presentations, and course recordings.

Market Reality: The screen recording software market reached $2 billion in 2025 and is growing at 15% annually. Yet 93.9% of remote workers have accidentally exposed sensitive information during screen shares, and 76% of 2024 data breaches involved remote work vulnerabilities. BlurShield solves this critical privacy problem.

⚡ WHY BLURSHIELD?

AI-Powered Smart Detection (PRO)
Unlike competitors requiring manual setup, BlurShield automatically identifies sensitive information including credit cards, Social Security numbers, email addresses, API keys, passwords, phone numbers, and account numbers. AI learns context to distinguish real sensitive data from false positives.
