Redact screenshots privately in the browser

Upload one screenshot, drag a rectangle over the sensitive area, hide what matters, crop if needed, and export a clean file with metadata stripped on save.

Details

How this should help in practice

These sections explain the job in plain language and set expectations for what the tool should do well.

Why chat screenshots need careful cleanup

Chat screenshots often bundle several privacy risks into a small space: names, avatars, unread counts, timestamps, attachments, and message text can all identify a person or reveal context that should stay private.

That means a dedicated page should focus on fast region-based cleanup rather than general image editing features.

What this workflow is best for

This is most useful when someone needs to share a chat example but not the people behind it, whether the screenshot is going into a bug report, article, support escalation, or internal presentation.

  • Masking participant names and profile images
  • Hiding message text or timestamps
  • Removing extra chat context with crop
  • Preparing safer examples for docs and support
FAQ

Common questions

Short answers for the questions people usually have before trying a utility like this.

What is usually better for messages: blur or pixelate?

Blur is softer and often better when the screenshot should still look natural. Pixelate makes the redaction more explicit when the message content must read as fully masked.

Can I use boxes for chat screenshots too?

Yes. Black and white boxes remain available if a solid mask fits the design of the screenshot better than blur or pixelation.

Does this happen locally?

Yes. The screenshot is edited and exported in the browser without server-side image processing.
