Anonymize Faces and License Plates in Media with BlurIt

This n8n template demonstrates how to use Blurit to anonymize faces and/or license plates in images or videos directly within your workflow.

Use cases include: automatically anonymizing dashcam videos, securing photos before sharing them publicly, or ensuring compliance with privacy regulations like GDPR.

How it works The workflow starts with a Form Trigger where you can upload your image or video file. An HTTP Request node authenticates with the BlurIt API using your Client ID and Secret. The file is then uploaded to BlurIt via an HTTP Request to create a new anonymization task. A polling loop checks the task status until it succeeds. Once complete, the anonymized media is retrieved and saved using a Write Binary File node.

How to use Replace the placeholder credentials in the Set Auth Config node with your BlurIt Client ID and Secret (found in your BlurIt Developer Dashboard). Execute the workflow, open the provided form link, and upload an image or video. The anonymized file will be written to your chosen output directory (or you can adapt the workflow to upload to cloud storage).

Requirements A BlurIt account and valid API credentials (Client ID & Secret). A running instance of n8n (cloud or self-hosted). (Optional) Access to a shared folder or cloud storage service if you want to automate file delivery.
