Redact image
Black out sensitive parts so they cannot be recovered.
About Redact image
Hide names, numbers and addresses in a screenshot or scanned document with solid boxes. Unlike a layer in an editor, the pixels underneath are replaced, and metadata is stripped, so nothing can be recovered from the saved file.
- Use black for documents and a matching background color for a cleaner look.
- For PDFs, use Redact PDF, which removes the underlying text as well.
- Check the whole image at full size before sharing.
How to use it
- 1Drop the image.
- 2Draw boxes over the sensitive areas; pick the box color.

Questions
- Is redaction really permanent?
- Yes. The area is overwritten in the exported pixels, and the file has no layers or history.
- Can I redact many images at once?
- One at a time, since each needs its own boxes.
- Is anything uploaded?
- No. Everything runs in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
