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.
