# Getting Started

## Overview

**Celantur Container** is a [Docker](https://www.docker.com/)-based container image to automatically anonymize **faces, persons, license plates and vehicles** on images and videos.

It's built to deliver high-quality anonymization and high throughput (see [benchmarks](/container/benchmarks.md)).
