Is my image uploaded to blur it?

No. The blurring happens entirely in your browser. The original, unredacted image never leaves your device — which is the whole point of a privacy tool.

Can the blur be reversed?

No. Blur, pixelation and redaction are baked into the exported image’s pixels. The hidden information cannot be recovered from the downloaded file.

What is the difference between blur, pixelate and redact?

Blur softens the area, pixelate replaces it with coarse blocks, and redact covers it with solid black. For maximum certainty on text (like account numbers), redaction is the safest choice.

Can I adjust a region after drawing it?

Yes. Click any region to select it, then drag to move it, use the handles to resize, or press Delete to remove it. Ctrl+Z undoes your last change.

Redact a screenshot

Black out the sensitive parts of a screenshot — names, emails, account numbers, API keys — before posting it to a ticket, chat or forum. All locally in your browser.

Privacy-first: every image is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, stored or transmitted to any server.

Screenshots leak more than any other file

A screenshot captures whatever was on screen: browser tabs, notification previews, usernames in corners, tokens in URLs, customer data in tables. Pasting one into a bug report or Slack thread publishes all of it. Redacting the sensitive fields first takes seconds and keeps the useful part of the screenshot doing its job.

Solid bars for text, blur for context

For strings that must not survive — keys, passwords, account numbers — use the solid black Redact bar: the pixels are replaced outright, with nothing underneath to recover. For faces or backgrounds where a softer look suffices, switch the same selection to blur or pixelation. Draw as many regions as the screenshot needs; all are baked into the export.

The unredacted version never leaves your machine

Uploading an unredacted screenshot to an online redaction service is exactly the disclosure you were trying to prevent. This tool opens, redacts and exports the image entirely in your browser — the original never touches a server.
