I would just paint them on the inside. A color that coordinates with the exterior of your home. Some people have just taped fabric or paper over the windows from the inside.
You can wet packing bubble wrap and press it on the window. 1st cut one piece the size of the window( if a double hung window) 2 pieces. It will stay stuck to the window even after it dries. The light can come in but you can't see through it.
There is a glass paint that you can use and it looks like the windows you might find in a bathroom - kind of opaque. You might like this because it would still allow the light to enter the garage. If you completely block out the light, you might not like that. Another option, would be to use clear contact paper. You might not completely block someone looking in, but they would really have to put their nose to the glass to do so. I think I prefer option #1 myself. This paint is sold in the arts and crafts store as "gallery glass" paint. Also it can be removed later on if you change your mind or if the new owners would want to.
Want to see what it looks like? Right here on Hometalk, an excellent example:

Window Privacy
I bought a cheap lacy tablecloth, cut pieces to fit the windows and used modge podge to adhere to the inside of the windows. Not only did it provide privacy, it was pretty from the outside and did not cause any problem with the function of the garage door.
My husband covers them up with cardboard. . some folks use a Frosted Contact Paper, so NO ONE can see in. These are just some ideas, ok? Best wishes, Judy.
Sorry, she said she ordered the 8 oz size on Amazon for around $20 (I see it on Amazon for $6.70). It appears the crafts store sells the 2 oz size for around $3.50
Amazon sells some stuff an a variety of colors and patterns think it might be called rabbit. Some you can see through, some totally blocks vision. It is like contact paper without the glue mess. You cut to size, wet glass., peel off backing, apply to glass. I squeezed out air bubbles with my car window snow scraper. They have stained glass patterns, plain white, and everything in between. I put some on a bathroom window and it has been hanging 4 months and still looks great! Menard sells it too, but not near the selection Amazon has. They call it something else. It is by the window blinds.
I put a thick coat of white gallery glass on my side windows at my front door. Works really well and makes everything inside look distorted. Just dab it on thick with sponge brush, then tap your fingers on it all around the window. I believe you need to let it dry at least 12-24 hrs..
For under $10, you can put up inexpensive mini blinds and then that wi Dow is cohesive with the rest of your home
there is a film that can be dark grey or whie it's made by gila films great selection and great look
I have used tension rods and bought cheap sheers that I can take down and wash when necessary
Vinyl blinds. Cheap but look like wood!
We painted lattice and secured it to the window In the garage. Looks great from the outside. It gave it character then placed a window box underneath or a decorative picket fence section.
we covered our garage windows with a tinted film that is easy to apply and looks like tinted windows in a car-- you can see out but no one can see in.
Try a glass frosting kit or you could always use a frosted contact paper.
Paper blinds cut to size.
You can buy a kit at any big box home improvement store that you can easily apply yourself to frost your glass. You could also use window tint.
You can buy spray paint that makes the glass look frosted. You'll have light & privacy as well
Paint them on the inside.
MINI BKLINDS are better one choice.
this is less expensive and easy to install and usage.
You can buy frosted spray paint and even a plastic film to cover it only thing if the sun is directly on your garage it might make the film peel off...good luck.... 3-15-20
My neighbor used the frosted spray paint. It took 2 good coats to get the windows where you could not see thru.
Window film comes in privacy styles, and I recently got one thats shatter-proof that I haven't put on yet. Amazon has a great selection of privacy films... https://www.amazon.com/s?k=privacy+window+film+see+out+not+in&crid=1MC17ZMNCKR8R&sprefix=privacy+window+film%2Caps%2C262&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-a-p_4_19
