About the Project

VideOptimize is a research‑driven project developed at Gipsa‑Lab (UGA / Grenoble INP / CNRS). It provides automatic face blurring and vertical straightening for images and videos, using robust academic algorithms designed for privacy protection and visual correction.

Face blurring is available in three versions: a cloud‑based SaaS platform, a Canva App integrated directly into Canva, and a standalone Windows application.

Vertical straightening is available on the SaaS platform.
