Analyze a film you own
Pick a movie file on this computer. This page reads it here in your browser, sends only small still frames for analysis, and builds a filter that skips or blurs the moments you choose — live during playback, with the file itself never uploaded and never changed.
On a phone? Analyzing a film needs a computer with the movie file on it. From this phone you can watch ParentFilter work in 28 seconds, with no account, or try the phone guide’s countdown on a free film.
Step 1 · Your file
What are you watching?
Your file stays on this computer — the page opens it locally, the way a video player would, and the film itself is never uploaded. Small still frames are sent out to be analyzed, and only after you say so. DRM-free files only, in a format your browser can play (MP4/H.264 works everywhere; some MKV and HEVC files won’t — what this does & its limits).
Analyzing a film is part of a ParentFilter subscription — the account box is just below. Choosing the file first costs nothing and tells you straight away whether this browser can play it.
Your shelf — every film this account has filtered, kept here with your choices. Open one of these films above and its guide loads itself.
Have the film’s subtitle
file handy if you want language filtered — a .srt or
.vtt beside the movie. You’ll be asked for it in the next step,
it’s optional, and it’s read entirely on this computer.
Subtitle file — optional, for language
Switches on swearing, word by word. Read on this computer; free.
Which file, and why it is needed
A .srt or .vtt file for
this movie. This one is read entirely on this computer —
nothing is uploaded and nothing is charged for it, so it works even
if you filter nothing else.
Subtitles that come inside a streaming app can’t be used:
see what this does & its limits. If the
film already has a guide with language in it, this step is skipped
for you. Say which language the file is in: the words looked for
come from a list for that language, and a file in another language
matches nothing and would look clean. The file must be in the
language the film is spoken in — a translated subtitle
lists the translator’s words, not what is said, and every mute
would land on the wrong ones. The Spanish list is new and still
being graded; a word it misses is worth telling us about.
If this film already has a guide — one you made, or (on the Full plan) one another family made — it loads itself the moment the film opens here. No files to keep track of.

No subscription yet? See what’s included. A free account covers report cards and film ratings — the analyzer is the paid part, because the analysis costs us real money to run.

Step 2 · What may we look at
Check the picture too?
Filtering only ever skips, mutes or blurs moments during playback — your file is never changed. The words come from the subtitle file, if you gave one: that is read here and costs nothing. The picture is the part that sends anything. Substance use can’t be read either way, so it isn’t screened here (why, and what can do that).
The finished guide — timestamps and labels, never any part of the film — is kept in your ParentFilter account and added to the ParentFilter guide library, so no family pays to analyze the same film twice.

Your plan is Lite — it covers this guide and the countdown warnings, and the filtering itself is on Full. Everything below is yours either way; the film plays unaltered and you get a warning before each moment. See the plans

What that does to this film
Changing this changes what counts as immodest, which is a question only another pass over the picture can answer — it cannot re-label moments already found.
