Add as many rectangles as needed, then move, resize, recolor, delete, undo, or redo before export.
Hide whatshould stay private.
Draw multiple areas over names, IDs, account numbers, faces, plates, or chat messages. Use a solid mask for the safest concealment, or choose pixelation and blur when the context should remain visible.

Drag on the image to add a region. Select a region to move it or drag one of its eight handles. Arrow keys move by 1 px; Shift + arrow moves by 10 px; Delete removes it.
Flattened redacted copy
Solid masking is the default because it replaces the selected pixels instead of merely making them harder to read.
Decoding, editing, flattening, encoding, and download all happen on the current device.
Remove private details before an image leaves your device
Image redaction is useful for support screenshots, listings, documents, conversations, and incident reports. The safest workflow is to cover the smallest complete area, flatten the copy, and inspect the exported pixels at full size.
Step by step
- Work on a copy
Keep the original somewhere private and use a duplicate for sharing.
- Choose the right style
Use a solid mask for credentials, IDs, addresses, account details, and other text that must not be recoverable from the shared image.
- Cover complete regions
Include labels, reflections, thumbnails, QR codes, barcodes, and nearby context that could reveal the same information.
- Export and zoom in
Open the flattened copy at 100% and confirm no edge, character, or hidden duplicate remains visible.
Decision guide
- Solid mask
- Best for passwords, identity numbers, addresses, signatures, payment data, and confidential text.
- Pixelate
- Keeps rough visual context. Use a strong block size and avoid it for high-risk text.
- Blur
- Useful for low-risk faces or backgrounds, but preserves more structure than a solid mask.
- PNG, JPG, WebP
- PNG keeps crisp screenshots; JPG suits photos; WebP balances quality and file size for the web.
Important limits
- The tool does not automatically discover every face, name, plate, or account number.
- Blur and pixelation are visual effects, not the safest protection for secrets or readable text.
- Metadata is normally removed by canvas re-encoding, but use the dedicated metadata remover when privacy requirements are strict.
- Redacting a screenshot does not remove the same data from the original service, document, or message history.
Common questions
Can someone remove a solid mask from the exported image?
The exported copy is flattened and selected pixels are replaced. It does not contain an editable mask layer, although you should still protect the original file.
Should I blur or pixelate private text?
Use a solid mask for sensitive text. Blur and pixelation are better treated as visual anonymization for lower-risk content.
Are images uploaded to OmniKit?
No. The source, regions, preview, and exported copy are processed in the current browser.
Redact an image without uploading private data
Cover sensitive text, faces, license plates, account numbers, chat messages, addresses, signatures, QR codes, and other private details with multiple editable regions.
OmniKit applies each solid mask, pixelated block, or blurred area in browser memory and exports a flattened PNG, JPG, or WebP copy. The source is not uploaded or stored.
