About ObscuraCam APK
Table Of Contents
Description
In a world of viral videos and facial recognition, ObscuraCam helps you share photos and videos while protecting the privacy of you and those you care about. With ObscuraCam you can blur and disguise faces in your photos and videos. Information that could identify you as the cameraperson is removed from the files for added security.★ PRIVACY FOR YOUR PICTURES: ObscuraCam can be used as a camera to take photos, or to anonymize photos and videos you’ve already taken.
★ DISGUISE YOURSELF: Cover faces with pixelate, redact (blackout) or funny nose and glasses
★ AUTOMATIC FACE DETECTION: ObscuraCam automatically detects faces in both photos and videos, so you can quickly and easily anonymize a crowd or a long video.
★ MULTIPLE PRIVACY MODES: Faces can be pixelated, removed completely, or disguised with funny nose and glasses. You can also blur everything except a small portion of an image.
★ SHARE SECURELY: We remove all identifying data stored in photos including GPS location data and phone make & model so you can save the protected photo back to the Gallery, or share it directly to Facebook, Twitter or any other "Share" enabled app.
★ PROTECTS THE IDENTITY OF THE PHOTOGRAPHER: Smartphones attach information to every photo they take, including where it was taken and by what type of camera. ObscuraCam removes all of this information.
★ AWARD-WINNING: ObscuraCam was a Winner of the 2013 Knight News Challenge

Questions & Answers
Q: What is an APK File?
A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.
Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?
A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.
Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?
A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.
Q: What are Android App permissions?
A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

User's Reivew
1 ★Have enjoyed using this app for many many years. My old phone finally died so I now have the Galaxy s24 Ultra. This app was last updated in 2017 and does not support current software. I did not try it on photographs. It does not even recognize videos as I cannot choose a video for any video in a folder is not there when I'm trying to pick it. I pray they do update it because it is very much needed. I did send an email to the people that created it.
1 ★It makes text on a picture very blurry that's not intended to be obscured, seems that it saves pictures at a much lower quality than the original. Also moving selections is problematic, especially when zooming into a picture. Plus it crashes when trying to take photos with the app.
1 ★NOT WORKING at all, it asks to save the picture or video once it's done the menu is empty. NOTHING. look for another app please. Don't waste your time
5 ★I like it I like it a lot sick of Big Data spying in fact now I can block out faces where they don't need to be looking.
1 ★Useless just better off deleting off the play store and app store
3 ★App name is a trap. it's a needed app though. Camera Obscura has nada do with it: "A camera obscura is a dark room with a small hole/lens at one side through an image is projected onto a wall/table opposite the hole." "Camera obscura" can also refer to analogous constructions such as a box or tent in which exterior image is projected. Camera obscuras with lens in opening have been used since 2:nd ½ of the 16th century & became popular for drawing aid, it help tracing projected image..."
3 ★Easy to use and no ads. Only exports to .jpg file I would prefer to keep the original file type. For another app or extended features I can use something for redacting names or account numbers on pages of scanned documents. This would require a find & replace type feature as seen in Word and other office apps but for photos thus obscuring the same account number across a multiple pages scanned document. Useful for quick obscuring of sensitive info in screenshot before uploading to cloud.
5 ★Very good
1 ★Does not work on Motorola G10 running Android 11
5 ★Useful app. Perfect blur the face.
