How to use Image Redact Tool

Redaction covers selected image regions using a solid block, pixelation, or blur. A solid block is generally the easiest style to verify for truly sensitive content.

  1. Choose the image and select a redaction style.
  2. Drag across every area that must be hidden and use Undo to correct a selection.
  3. Download the result and open it separately to confirm the information is unreadable.

Practical example

A screenshot can be redacted to hide an account number before it is shared with support.

Useful tips

  • Prefer solid redaction for highly sensitive text.
  • Cover surrounding pixels, not only the exact characters.
  • Verify the downloaded file at high zoom.

Limitations

A mild blur may leave shapes or text recognizable. This tool edits visible pixels and is not a certified document-sanitization system.
