Know the limits

Local does not mean unlimited.

Browser processing protects the file from an upload workflow, but the browser, device, output format, and selected settings still matter.

  • Only the areas you cover are redacted; the tool cannot know every sensitive detail.
  • The original file remains unchanged on your device.
  • Solid covers are safer than reversible document overlays, but surrounding context can still reveal information.

Clear answers

Image redactor questions.

Is drawing a black box enough?

For this image tool, the selected pixels are replaced in the exported bitmap rather than covered by a removable document annotation. You should still inspect the final copy carefully.

Can I undo a redaction?

You can undo marks while editing. Once downloaded, the exported copy contains replacement pixels and does not include an editable redaction layer.

Does the tool automatically detect private information?

No. Wave 1 uses deliberate manual selection so you remain in control and no recognition model is required.
