Detect it.
Redact it.
Drop an image or PDF. This page finds card numbers, emails, phone numbers, addresses, faces, and barcodes, then writes a copy with the hidden metadata removed.
Finds private content
Cards (Luhn-checked), SSNs, emails, phones, street addresses, account numbers, birth dates, API keys, faces, barcodes, and QR codes.
Strips hidden data
GPS coordinates, camera serials, timestamps, and PDF author info are removed, and the saved file is opened again to check.
Stays in the browser
OCR and face detection run locally. A strict Content-Security-Policy blocks network calls. Works offline.
The text is gone
Effects average pixels into coarse blocks before smoothing, and PDFs are flattened, so the text under the box is gone.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. This page has no server. OCR, face detection, and barcode scanning run inside your browser tab, and a strict Content-Security-Policy blocks the page from sending your file anywhere.
Can the blur be reversed?
Pixels are averaged into large blocks with random noise before any smoothing, so the detail is discarded. For maximum certainty pick Blackout, which replaces the area with a solid fill.
Does it remove EXIF, GPS, and other metadata?
Yes. The export is re-encoded from raw pixels, so EXIF, GPS coordinates, camera serial numbers, and PDF author info are not copied, and the saved file is opened again and checked.
How do I redact a PDF?
Drop it here. Every page is rendered, sensitive text is detected and hidden, and the pages are flattened into a new PDF. Up to 60 pages. The output is not text-selectable.
What does it detect?
Credit cards, SSNs and tax IDs, emails, phone numbers, street addresses, account numbers, labelled dates of birth, API keys, faces, barcodes, and QR codes. Names are not auto-detected. Drag a box over anything it missed.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Models, WebAssembly, and fonts are bundled, so once the page has loaded you can disconnect and keep redacting.
