Every time you share a screenshot — a bug report, a support ticket, a work chat, a social media post — there is private information visible that you did not mean to expose. Emails, names, passwords, account numbers, notification previews. This tool lets you black it out in seconds before it leaves your device. No upload, no server, no risk.
Screenshot redaction is the process of permanently hiding sensitive information in a screenshot before sharing it. Using black boxes, blur, or pixelation, the data is obscured so it cannot be read. This is crucial for protecting personal details in bug reports, support tickets, and social media posts.
No — everything runs directly in your web browser. Your screenshot never leaves your device and is never uploaded anywhere. This is what makes our tool completely safe to use for redacting screenshots containing passwords, private messages, or financial information.
You should always redact: names, email addresses, phone numbers, passwords, notification previews, account numbers, profile pictures of others, and any address or location data visible on screen. If in doubt, black it out.
Black Box is the safest mode. Blur and pixelate can potentially be reversed by advanced AI and de-obfuscation tools. A solid black box completely replaces the original pixels, removing the information entirely from the visual. For anything highly sensitive, always use the black box.
Yes! This tool is perfect for developers redacting bug reports, support agents hiding customer data, or employees sharing workflow screenshots. These are common scenarios where private data leaks unintentionally. Because the tool operates locally, it complies with most strict workplace data policies.
Yes, all EXIF data and hidden metadata is stripped automatically when you download the redacted image. If you need deeper metadata stripping for original photos without redacting them, check out our EXIF Metadata Scrubber.
