REDACT PHOTOS, SCREENSHOTS, FACES AND PRIVATE TEXT

Manual image censoring, local AI review and safer export

This tool rewrites pixels inside selected regions rather than placing removable overlays on top. Use it before sharing screenshots, document photos, chats, forms or social media images.

Draw, move and resize regions

Add as many regions as needed, then adjust each boundary and choose a black box, pixelation or blur independently.

Let AI find likely private details

Local face detection and OCR can suggest emails, phone numbers, IDs, payment cards, URLs, IP addresses, plates and labeled personal fields.

Flatten pixels and strip metadata

Canvas creates a fresh output file, so the redaction is baked into its pixels and the original EXIF and GPS metadata is not carried over.

Common image redaction jobs

Screenshots and support conversations

Hide usernames, avatars, order numbers, customer records, email addresses and access keys before sharing a screen capture.

IDs and document photos

Cover document numbers, addresses, signatures and payment details. Use a solid box for formal or high-risk information.

Photos and social posts

Pixelate bystanders, children, license plates, house numbers and location clues visible in the background.

Why every AI suggestion needs a human review

Glare, low resolution, unusual type, angled photos and busy backgrounds all reduce detection accuracy. The scan is a head start, not a guarantee against missed data.

Zoom around the full image before exporting, including corners, reflections, notification bars and background signs. Give solid boxes extra margin around truly confidential text.

Image redaction questions

Is my image uploaded?

No. Decoding, manual edits, face detection, OCR and export run in this browser. An internet connection is used only to download the AI models on first use.

Can blur or pixelation permanently hide text?

Not reliably. Use a solid box with generous margins for passwords, access keys, payment cards, identity numbers or other high-risk text.

What sensitive data can the AI scan find?

It suggests faces and likely phone numbers, emails, IDs, payment cards, URLs, IP addresses, plates and text lines labeled as names or addresses. Review every result.

Does export remove photo location data?

The tool recreates a JPG, PNG or WebP with Canvas, so it normally does not copy EXIF fields such as GPS, device model or capture time from the source file.
