How to use Redact Image
- Choose your files, or drag & drop them anywhere on the page.
- Reorder or adjust the settings, then hit the big button.
- When it's ready, click "Save." Your files never leave your device.
FAQ
Can the blacked-out part be recovered?
No. The pixels themselves are replaced and the image is saved again, so the original content is not in the new file.
Is location data removed too?
Yes. Because the image is redrawn, metadata such as GPS location and camera details is not carried over.
Is it safe to use Redact Image with my files?
Yes. Your files are never uploaded — they're processed only inside your browser. Every page is served with a policy that blocks outgoing connections (Content-Security-Policy connect-src 'none'), and the counter in the bottom-left shows the data sent: 0 bytes.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It's completely free, no account needed, and there are no usage limits.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in mobile browsers on iPhone and Android. For very large files, a computer will be faster.
