Frequently asked questions

Which effect is safest for text?

Solid box. Blur and light pixelation can sometimes be partly reversed, so use a solid box for passwords, account numbers and other sensitive text.

Is the original hidden data removed too?

Yes. The exported images don't include the original file's metadata, such as GPS location.

Can I hide several areas in one image?

Yes. Draw as many boxes as you need; the strength setting applies to all of them.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Redaction happens in your browser, so the unredacted image never leaves your device.
