PrivShot Free vs. Pro: What the One-Time Purchase Unlocks
Free: all detection, review, manual tools and location stripping, one photo at a time with a small PrivShot watermark. Pro, a one-time purchase with no subscription, removes the watermark and allows importing many photos at once.
The problem
Privacy tools often charge for the protection itself, or hide the useful bit behind a monthly subscription. If you only need to blur one photo to send to someone, a recurring fee feels absurd, and if you suddenly need to do 80 photos, a free tool with a limit is a nuisance.

- Automatic detection of faces, phone numbers, ID and bank card numbers, company credit codes, addresses and names
- Whole-document blur
- The review screen with per-category and per-detection control

Pro

Pro is a single one-time purchase. No subscription, no auto-renew. You can restore it on another device.
Who needs Pro?
- One-off photos or screenshots: free is enough, if a small watermark doesn’t matter.
- Photos you’ll publish or send to clients: Pro, to avoid the watermark.
- Albums and event photos: Pro, for batch import. See blurring a whole album.
Try before you decide
All the detection and editing tools are in the free version, so you can judge quality on your own photos first.
