You don't even need this. I searched "unblur" in Google Play Store, downloaded the first result, tweaked the settings a touch, and I could make out the characters. The whole process took a couple minutes. If the data actually needs to be hidden, this picture should be taken down.

It sounds like you didn’t read the post you are replying to. They indicated a mock copy should be made to avoid techniques reconstructing the data.

Yeah, I replied to the wrong comment, sorry. I navigated away and skimmed to figure out where I was when I came back.

if you generate a lookalike full of UUIDs, you don't really need to blur except for dramatic effect I guess.
