Hide Data in Photo

Securely cover up personal details in your photos.

Permanently black out, blur, or hide sensitive text, credit card details, faces, and personal identifiers in your screenshots and photos before sharing. Using standard digital highlighters or markup tools on mobile devices is dangerous—often the underlying pixels remain unblurred, or the black overlay can be adjusted or stripped away by changing brightness and exposure in image editors. Our secure offline redaction engine permanently scrambles the selected pixels directly in your browser's memory, ensuring your private data is 100% unrecoverable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is standard smartphone markup unsafe for redacting text? ▼

Many default drawing tools on smartphones and operating systems use semi-transparent brushes or save drawing strokes as independent vector layers. A recipient can easily open the image in software like Photoshop, raise the exposure, or delete the overlay layer to reveal the sensitive text underneath. Our tool destroys the underlying pixels, leaving nothing to recover.

What types of files are supported for redaction? ▼

We support standard image formats including PNG screenshots, JPG photos, and modern WebP files, converting them locally into a flat, secure output.

Can I reverse the redaction if I change my mind? ▼

Only before you download the file! While you are editing inside our canvas, you can clear and redraw your masking boxes. However, once you download the output image, the redaction is permanent and cannot be reversed by anyone, including you.
