Redact image online
Hide faces, names, addresses, screenshots, IDs, or any sensitive part of an image before you share it. Redacted works in your browser, so the original image is not uploaded to a server.
What you can redact
- Names, usernames, phone numbers, and email addresses
- Faces, profile photos, license plates, and street signs
- Receipts, invoices, IDs, and screenshots
- Private messages, account details, and document snippets
How to redact an image
- Open the editor and drop, paste, or select your image.
- Drag over the area you want to hide.
- Choose blur, pixelate, black box, or emoji.
- Add more selections for every sensitive area.
- Download the redacted image.
Blur, pixelate, or black out?
Use a black box when the information must be fully hidden. Use pixelate for faces or screenshots where you still want the image to look natural. Use blur for quick casual sharing, and use emoji for social images where the tone can stay light.
Private by design
Redacted edits images locally in the browser. There is no upload step, no account, and no tracking. The exported image also strips metadata, including location data where present.
