Hide sensitive information in an image
Before you share a screenshot or photo, check whether it contains private information. Redacted helps you hide sensitive details quickly without uploading the image.
Sensitive details to look for
- Names, profile photos, handles, and avatars
- Email addresses, phone numbers, and addresses
- Receipts, invoices, totals, and payment details
- Account numbers, tokens, tracking numbers, and order IDs
- Faces, license plates, street signs, and location clues
How to hide sensitive information
- Open the image in Redacted.
- Scan the image from top to bottom.
- Add a selection over every private detail.
- Use black box for sensitive text, pixelate for faces, and blur for casual context.
- Download the cleaned image.
Do a final privacy pass
Zoom out and look for small details that are easy to miss: browser tabs, file names, status bars, map labels, timestamps, and notification previews.
FAQ
Should I use blur or black box?
Use black box for information that must be fully hidden. Use blur for lower-risk details where a softer look is acceptable.
Does Redacted remove metadata?
Yes. The exported image does not keep the original metadata.
Can I hide sensitive info in multiple places?
Yes. Add as many masks as you need.
