Remove Personal Info from Images
Hide names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, and IDs from any image before sharing it.
Same local editor as the homepage. This page is a deep link for one job, not a separate upload service.
Blur
Softer cover. Raise the strength until text is unreadable.
Pixelate
Mosaic blocks for faces and photos. Larger blocks hide more.
Black Box
Solid cover for names, IDs, and anything that must not be readable.
How to use
How do you redact this image locally?
Load the image in this browser, draw over each sensitive region, and export a PNG. The canvas edit does not upload the file. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V or Command-V, or drop a JPG, PNG, or WebP. Undo fixes a box without changing the original on your device.
- 1
Upload the image that contains personal information you want to remove.
- 2
Choose how to hide it: Blur for a soft effect, Pixelate for a mosaic, or Black Box for maximum privacy.
- 3
Drag to draw a box over each piece of personal information such as email addresses, phone numbers, names, and IDs.
- 4
Use Undo to correct mistakes or Clear all to start fresh.
- 5
Export the clean image when you are done.
You can also paste a screenshot with Ctrl+V or ⌘V. Undo and Redo fix a box without changing the original file.
Why use this tool
Why does this stay in the browser?
This page is for images that already contain private material. Blur, pixelate, and black box run in your browser, so the file is not sent away to be cleaned. Use a black box for secrets that must not stay readable. Use blur or pixelate only after you have checked that the cover is enough.
Images shared in support tickets, emails, social media, and documents often contain personal information that was never intended to be visible.
Removing that information before sharing is a responsible privacy practice. It protects the people whose data appears in the image and reduces the surface area for accidental exposure.
This tool makes the process fast: upload, draw boxes over the sensitive fields, and export the cleaned image. Everything happens in your browser.
Questions
What should you know before you export?
The image is processed locally, and export writes a new PNG. Blur is not the same cover as a black box. Paste works with Ctrl+V or Command-V. If your question is about a specific leak, such as a password, a face, or a sidebar, use the guides linked below before you send the file.
What kind of personal information can I remove?
Any visible information in an image, including names, email addresses, phone numbers, ID numbers, addresses, signatures, faces, or other data you want to keep private.
Is this GDPR or HIPAA compliant?
This tool processes images entirely in your browser and never transmits data to a server. Whether it meets specific compliance requirements depends on your organizational policies.
Will the hidden areas be visible in the downloaded image?
The redacted areas will be visible as blurred, pixelated, or black regions, indicating that information was intentionally removed.
Can I remove personal info from a screenshot?
Yes. Upload your screenshot, draw boxes over any personal data, and download the cleaned version.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The tool works entirely in your web browser on any device.
Can I remove a phone number from a photo of a business card?
Yes. Upload a photo of the card, draw a selection over the phone number, and download the result with that field removed.
How many pieces of personal info can I hide in one image?
There is no limit. Draw as many boxes as needed and each one adds a new covered region.
What is the most secure way to remove personal info?
Black Box mode replaces the selected pixels with solid black. This is the strongest visual redaction because the covered data cannot be recovered from the image.
Can I use this before sharing images in a support ticket?
Yes, and it is recommended. Support tickets often require screenshots that may contain account details or personal data.
Related workflows
Which related tool should you open next?
Every tool on this site is the same local editor with a different starting note. Open a related page when the job is narrower, such as faces, screenshots, or solid black text. You do not upload the image to a second service to switch jobs.
Guides
Which guide matches this job?
Read the guide that matches the mistake you are about to make. Text secrets usually need a black box, not a light blur. Faces, plates, and sidebars need their own pass. Local editing matters most when the file should not be uploaded in order to hide it.
