FAQ
Can blacked-out data be recovered?
No. The tool physically overwrites underlying image pixels directly in browser memory before exporting. No hidden layers or vector objects exist in the saved file.
Are my photos or documents uploaded to a server?
No. All graphic rendering and pixel manipulation occur strictly within your client-side browser runtime via HTML5 Canvas. Zero data is transmitted.
When should I use blackout versus blur?
Blackout boxes provide 100% mathematical irreversibility, making them ideal for passport numbers, signatures, and card details. Blur and pixelate are great for faces and background objects.
Does it support mobile touchscreens?
Yes. You can draw redaction boxes with your finger on smartphones and tablets with smooth touch tracking.
