About Redacted
Redacted is a browser-based editor for hiding details in photos and screenshots. Users can blur, pixelate, black out, or cover selected areas with emoji, and the site describes automatic face detection with one-click hiding. The site states that editing happens locally in the browser without uploads, and that exported images have GPS and other metadata removed.
It opens JPEG, PNG, GIF, and WebP files, works on desktop and mobile browsers, and requires no account. Native Mac and iOS apps are also listed, with on-device detection and batch processing of folders on Mac.
