Text blur tool

Blur text in image online

Blur text in a screenshot, photo, receipt, or document image before you share it. Redacted runs locally in your browser, so the image stays on your device.

How to blur text in an image

  1. Open your image in Redacted.
  2. Drag a rectangle over the text.
  3. Choose the blur mask.
  4. Resize the selection until the full line is covered.
  5. Download or copy the edited image.

When blur is not enough

Blur is good for casual sharing, but it can be weaker than a solid cover if the text is very large or high contrast. For passwords, legal documents, IDs, or financial information, use the black box mask instead.

FAQ

Can I blur multiple lines of text?

Yes. Add one selection per line or create one larger selection over the whole block.

Can I paste a screenshot?

Yes. Copy a screenshot, open Redacted, and paste it with Ctrl/Cmd + V.

Does the original text remain in the exported file?

The selected area is rendered into the exported image. Redacted also strips image metadata from the output.
