Smoothwall Image and Video Blurring

Image and video blurring uses AI to detect and hide inappropriate or harmful visual content, helping to protect students from exposure to violence, pornography, and intimate apparel.

Blur Blur harmful images and videos even on new, uncategorized websites in real time. Capture Capture content that isn’t caught by Google SafeSearch, YouTube’s restricted mode, and more. Analyze Analyze the actual context of media and text to determine if content is safe to view. Customize Support balanced digital learning—avoid overblocking with exception lists and customizable settings.

Real-time filtering: Checks every image and video, no matter how recently they were posted and regardless of previous categorization, leaving no gaps where children could be exposed.

Customizable control: Lets you adjust sensitivity by category, plus full-page auto-blurring and a list of allowed items. Prevent overblocking: If a single image or video on an otherwise educational page is flagged as inappropriate, students can still access the rest of the content without blocking the entire domain or URL.
Content Categories Turn image and video detection and blurring on or off for these content categories: Blood: Graphically violent content, including: Assaults, mutilations, and beheadings Accident and shooting victims Self-harm and suicide Blood and guts War violence Dead bodies Pornography: Explicit and adult content, including anime and cartoons. Intimate clothing: Content that objectifies people wearing specific types of clothing, including: Swimwear and beachwear Underwear and lingerie Sensitivity level Adjust the sensitivity level to customize how confident image and video blurring must be that the content fits into one of the categories in order to blur it.
