Blur & redact
Hide faces, names, addresses, or any sensitive detail in a photo. Drag boxes over the parts you want gone, and they're permanently blacked out or pixelated — burned into the image and stripped of metadata when you save. Everything happens in your browser; the photo is never uploaded.
Drag on the image to add a redaction box. Add as many as you need.
What "redact" really means here
Plenty of tools let you draw a black rectangle on a photo — but if that rectangle is just laid on top, the original can sometimes still be recovered from the file. That's a real danger with sensitive information. This tool avoids it: when you save, the image is redrawn from scratch with your boxes burned permanently into the pixels, and the result is encoded as a brand-new file. There is no separate layer holding the hidden content, because the hidden content no longer exists in the output.
Black box vs. pixelate
A black box replaces the area with solid colour — the underlying pixels are completely removed, which is the safest option for anything truly sensitive like a name, address, or account number. Pixelate replaces the area with a coarse mosaic, averaging each block down to a single colour so the detail is destroyed; it's a good choice for obscuring a face while keeping the photo looking natural. Both are one-way in the saved file. If in doubt, use the black box.
Metadata goes too
Saving the redacted image also removes any hidden metadata the original carried, such as the GPS location where a photo was taken. That matters here more than anywhere: it would defeat the purpose to carefully hide a face while leaving the exact coordinates of where the picture was taken buried in the file. Re-encoding on your device clears both.
It stays on your device
Redaction is exactly the kind of task you should never do by uploading to a stranger's server. Everything here runs in your browser — the sensitive image never leaves your machine.
