The questions creators ask first.

No. Video decoding, face detection, tracking, censorship rendering and export all happen inside the installed Windows application, using your own computer. The website never receives your footage for processing.

The internet is used to activate and periodically validate your licence — not to move your footage. Your video stays on your machine even while the licence is checked.

Once your licence is active, CensorFlow keeps working through an offline grace period. It reconnects to re-validate the licence when the machine is next online.

Creator activates two Windows computers; Studio activates five. You can manage and deactivate devices from your account.

Processing pauses, but the application is not deleted and your files are never touched. Renewing restores full processing.

Yes. Deactivate a device from your account to free a slot, then activate CensorFlow on the new machine.

It protects you from a specific, real risk: privacy complaints and the channel strikes they can trigger. Covering bystanders before you publish means there is no one to file a complaint. To be clear, it does not change how a platform ranks or recommends your video — anyone claiming a blur affects reach is not being honest with you.

No. Everything runs on your own Windows PC and your video never leaves your computer. There are no servers in the loop, which is why it also works completely offline.

Much less than a naive blur. Every detection is verified across several frames before it is censored, so persistent face-shaped objects like lamps, wheels and windows are rejected. If something still slips through, Review & correct lets you remove it before export.

Fast prioritises speed, Balanced (recommended) runs full verification for the best trade-off, and Maximum Privacy is more sensitive with longer coverage for sensitive footage. You pick per project.

Detection is highly capable but not a legal guarantee. Faces that are very small, heavily turned away, motion-blurred or occluded can be harder to detect. The privacy review report flags moments worth a final human check.

CensorFlow supports major video formats and resolutions up to 4K, and preserves the original audio track on export.

It depends on video resolution, frame rate, scene complexity, the selected mode, your hardware and output settings. GPU acceleration is used where available, with a CPU fallback.

Six: soft face blur, strong face blur, face pixelation, eye bar, privacy bar and solid face mask. You choose per project based on how much concealment the footage needs.

No. It is a clear annual licence with no per-minute credits or tokens. You process as much as your own computer allows.

Licences renew annually so your software keeps updating and validating. You can cancel future renewal at any time from your account.
