Our Products

Precision Blur

Precision Blur automatically detects and blurs objects of the selected type (e.g., face, license plate, characters) in your video or image. It is the most precise AI-based redaction solution and the Blur includes a random function that cannot be reverse-engineered.

Deep Natural Anonymization

Our unique Deep Natural Anonymization automatically detects a personal identifier such as a face and generates a synthetic replacement that reflects the original attributes. Therefore, the solution protects identities while keeping necessary information for analytics or machine learning.

Full Body Blur

Full Body Blur is an advanced privacy solution designed to anonymize entire human bodies in videos and images, effectively blurring personal identifiers such as hairstyles, clothing, and tattoos. This upgrade enhances privacy compliance by protecting sensitive information and adapting to evolving data protection regulations.

Key Features

Selective Redaction

The Selective Redaction user interface allows you to selectively anonymize personal information in videos. In some use cases such as media and law enforcement, not all faces need to be blurred. After the automatic detections, you can (de)select objects individually.

Custom Redact Settings

With Custom Redact Settings, you can set detection thresholds manually. Thereby, the recognition of objects like faces and license plates can be fine-tuned for individual use cases to ensure high-quality redaction results and maximum compliance.

Redaction Areas

Redaction Areas feature provides you with the areas that are relevant for the redaction of the faces and license plates. This opens up the possibility of PIIs removal in accordance with your specific needs, but with the guarantee of privacy compliance. It enables full flexibility for the data processing and complex pipelines.

API Integration

We offer the option to seamlessly integrate our image redaction solution into your products and services with an easy-to-use REST API. You benefit from full functionality and can customize the solution to your individual needs.

Compatibility with machine learning

DNAT protects identities by generating synthetic overlays of faces and license plates. This allows you to use video and images for AI development and analytics while remaining compliant with all relevant privacy regulations.
DNAT preserves the original data quality and accuracy, making it the best-in-class solution for analytics and machine learning.

DNAT ensures anonymized data remains as representative as the original by preserving the age, gender, and ethnicity of detected faces. Facial expression, gaze, movement and even the position of eyelids are maintained for analytical use cases.

“brighter AI’s solution was easily integrated and the natural anonymization was what we needed for improvement of lane and sign detection validation strategy.” Václav Schybal, System Validation Platform Manager, Valeo
“Together with our University partners and Facebook AI Research, we decided to use the brighter AI software to anonymize datasets within our computer vision research. We appreciate the accuracy of brighter AI’s anonymization solution, the possibility of a simple on-premise setup, as well as the great support by the brighter AI team.” Bernard Ghanem, Associate Professor, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST)
“We decided to use the service of brighter AI because the functionality to anonymize license plates and persons works very well. We were particularly surprised by the accuracy of the recognition method. The API was well documented and could be quickly integrated into our cloud solution.” Jens Dürasch, Managing Director, OnREX GmbH
“With brighter AI, we successfully transferred a large amount of data to our client outside the EU under time pressure. By using brighter AI’s fully automated Precision Blur, we saved thousands of hours of manual work and were able to provide our client with high-quality data for further processing. We valued the accuracy and adaptability of brighter AI’s anonymization
solution and the support from the team.” Daniel Scholz, Business Unit Manager Software & Elektronik

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Technology & Features
    The functionalities of brighter AI’s solutions do not cover my requirements. Do you offer more?
    We are continuously improving our solution and working on new features. If you are missing something, just contact us at hello@brighter.ai.
    Are there minimum hardware or software requirements to use brighter AI’s solutions?
    If you use the our cloud API, there are no minimum hardware requirements. Since processing is done in our secure cloud, you only need to have a computer with a good internet connection and the Google Chrome browser. If you use your own servers for deployment (on premise), please see our API documentation for the system requirements.
    Do you have performance benchmarks that you can share?
    Detection accuracies depend on the respective material and we recommend testing our demo. Based on publicly available datasets, our detections are state-of-the-art ( for the WIDERFACE dataset our model achieved a recall of 96%)
    Can I use the AI-based image redaction software for any perspective or setting or do you need to train the artificial intelligence on each dataset first?
    Our solution is camera-agnostic and works out of the box. For unique or very unusual perspectives and settings, we offer custom calibration of the models to achieve the best results.
    Which image and video formats are supported by brighter AI’s solutions?
    All common image and video formats and codecs are supported (Image: .jpeg, .jpg, .png, .bmp and Video: mp4, .avi, .mov, .mkv, .ts, mpeg4, .avi, .mov, .mkv, .webm, .mkv)
    What is the maximum resolution supported?
    We officially support resolutions up to Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels). Higher resolutions can work, but are likely subject to slower processing.
  • Data Privacy & Security
    Which privacy regulations do you comply with?
    After the data is anonymized, it is by nature not personal and therefore not subject to data privacy regulations like GDPR, CCPA, CSL/PIS, PIPA, APPI, etc. anymore.
    Which cloud service are you using? Where are the servers based?
    Our environment is based in Europe, hosted on a secure cloud by MS Azure and the API is TLS encrypted. For more information, see Azure Microsoft.
    Does brighter AI guarantee that every personally identifiable information (PII) will be redacted?
    No. We focus on face and license plate redaction. Our solution prevents industry standard algorithms from identifying these PII. You remain responsible for ensuring that all needed redactions also of potential other PII are made to every frame of the video.
    Do you view or store my data?
    We do not view your data. We only process your original data for the anonymization purpose and delete it directly afterwards. Your anonymized files can be deleted upon user request or will be deleted automatically after 24 hours. Throughout the entire anonymization process, we comply with the highest data security and data privacy standards (GDPR, CCPA, CSL/PIS, etc.).
  • Support & Other
    Do you offer audio or document redaction tools?
    No, to this date, we only provide image and video redaction.
    What’s the difference between API and UI?
    The application programming interface (API) allows you to integrate brighter Redact with your own software and to automate the anonymization process. The user interface (UI) allows you to directly upload or ‘drag and drop’ your file and to get it anonymized immediately online without any programming needed.
