Redact — Censor & Blur Photos

Redact sensitive text in photos and PDFs in seconds. Redact uses AI to automatically find and hide SSNs, emails, phone numbers, names, dates, addresses, and license plates — so nothing slips through.

Unlike basic blur tools, Redact is purpose-built for text redaction. Tap any word to instantly black it out. Drag across a line to redact it all. Or let AI do the work — it scans your document, groups everything by category, and lets you apply redactions with a single tap.

SMART AI DETECTION

• Automatically finds Social Security numbers, emails, phone numbers, dates, names, addresses, and license plates
• Detects international license plate formats — US, UK, German, French, Spanish, and more
• Groups detected items by category with easy toggle controls
• Apply all redactions at once or pick exactly what to hide
• Works across every page of multi-page PDFs

6 MARKUP TOOLS
• Redact — solid black bar, permanently covers text
• Highlight — colored overlay for emphasis
• Blur — gaussian blur for soft concealment
• Pixelate — mosaic effect for photos and screenshots
• Underline — mark important passages
• Strikethrough — cross out text clearly

FREEFORM DRAWING
• Draw directly over areas without detected text — perfect for license plates in photos, handwritten notes, or images where OCR can't reach
• Works with all markup tools including blur and pixelate
• Smart detection: automatically switches to freeform mode when no text is found

SMART MATCH
• Redact a name once, Redact finds every other instance across all pages
• "Found 12 more matches — apply to all?" One tap. Done.

BUILT FOR REAL DOCUMENTS
• Import photos, screenshots, and multi-page PDFs
• Full PDF support with page-by-page navigation
• Pinch to zoom up to 5x for precise word-level redaction
• Export as flattened PDF or JPEG — redactions are permanently burned into pixels, impossible to recover

PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• 100% on-device processing — nothing uploaded, no servers, no cloud
• Exported files contain zero hidden text layers
• What you redact stays redacted. Period.

ORGANIZE YOUR WORK
• Document gallery with thumbnails, search, and sort
• Auto-save with instant resume
