Description
Hide sensitive info in screenshots & text before you share — auto-detected, on your device. Redact — Privacy-safe sharing in seconds. Accidentally pasting a phone number into a Slack message, or sharing a screenshot with a visible API key or SSN, can have real consequences. Redact stops that before it happens. HOW IT WORKS • Paste or type any text → Redact highlights every piece of PII it finds (emails, phones, credit cards, API keys, SSNs, IP addresses, and more). • Choose which categories to redact, pick a style (solid black bar, label, or hash), then click Redact. • Drop a screenshot into the Image tab, draw rectangles over sensitive areas, and export a clean PNG — with metadata stripped automatically. • Everything runs entirely on your device. Nothing is sent to any server except a one-time license check when you activate a Pro key. FREE FEATURES ✓ Full text redactor — all PII categories, all three redaction styles, one-click copy ✓ Image redactor — black-bar style, unlimited manual rectangles, Export PNG ✓ Metadata stripping on every export ✓ Works offline after install PRO — $12 one-time payment (no subscription) ✓ Image blur & pixelate styles ✓ OCR auto-detect: scan images for PII text automatically (Tesseract, runs on-device) ✓ Batch image processing ✓ Custom regex patterns — define your own PII rules PRIVACY FIRST No account required. No data collected. No telemetry. No analytics. All redaction happens in your browser. The only network request the extension ever makes is a license verification call to Gumroad when you enter a Pro key — and that result is cached locally so subsequent use works fully offline. PERMISSIONS — minimal and justified • storage: saves your category preferences and (if Pro) your cached license status locally. Nothing leaves your device via this API. Note: Opening the editor tab uses chrome.tabs.create (no permission required). Serving bundled worker, WASM, and language-data assets uses chrome.runtime.getURL (no permission required). Neither API requires a manifest permission entry. Redact is open about what it does and does not do. Read the full privacy policy at the extension's homepage.
