Frequently asked questions
Is my screenshot uploaded to your servers?
No. The image is opened and redacted entirely inside your browser with the canvas API. It never leaves your device — you can verify this in your browser's network panel, or disconnect from the internet after the page loads and keep redacting.
Is blur safe enough to hide sensitive text?
Not always. Blur spreads pixels in a mathematically reversible way, and lightly blurred text has been recovered with de-blurring tools. For passwords, ID numbers and card details, use Solid blackout — it provably destroys the pixels underneath. We say this openly because your safety matters more than a feature list.
Can someone recover the original from the exported PNG?
No. The download is a freshly rendered, flattened copy — the redaction is baked into the pixels and the original data is not embedded in the file. Exported images are also stripped of EXIF and GPS metadata.
What are the free plan limits?
One image at a time, scaled to a 2400 px longest side for smooth editing. Screenshot Redactor Pro ($29 one-time) adds batch mode, reusable redaction templates and annotations.
