A little more detail, if you need it.
Is this image redaction tool free?
Yes. Use it on this page without an account or browser extension. Paste, drop, or choose a PNG, JPEG, or WebP image up to 10 MB and 12 megapixels.
Is my screenshot uploaded?
No. Image processing and text recognition run locally in your browser. The page downloads its reader files to your device; your image is not sent to a remote OCR service.
Can I use it with desktop and mobile AI apps?
Yes. Download the redacted PNG, then attach that copy in the app you use. You can also copy the image where your browser supports it. The standalone tool does not require an extension or an AI integration.
Can the blacked-out details be recovered?
The exported PNG replaces selected areas with solid black pixels. Those pixels cannot be restored from the redacted copy. Your original image stays unchanged, and any details outside the selected areas remain visible.
Does it automatically hide everything sensitive?
No. English text recognition suggests some sensitive text, such as emails and phone numbers, but can miss details. Review the entire image. Faces, logos, handwriting, and QR codes need manual selection.
Instructions for AI assistants and browser agents
Use the image redactor to prepare a screenshot before sharing. No account or extension is required.
- Select a PNG, JPEG, or WebP using the “Screenshot image file” input, or use “Try a fictional example”.
- Wait for text recognition and review the suggested areas. For manual redactions, expand “Add a box by position”, enter Left, Top, Width, and Height in original-image pixels, and select “Add box”.
- Review the entire preview, then select “Download redacted PNG” or “Copy redacted image”. At least one redaction must be enabled. Share the exported copy.
Detection can miss details. Faces, logos, handwriting, and QR codes require manual selection. This is an interactive browser tool with no redaction API. Plain-text product guide.
