Frequently asked questions

Can I redact a JPEG photo?

Yes. Upload a JPEG, draw rectangle, circle, or polygon covers over faces, IDs, or text, then download a redacted JPEG or PNG.

Are names and numbers detected on photos automatically?

Automatic detection runs on PDF text only. On a JPEG photo you draw every cover yourself, then review the preview before download.

What do people usually need to cover in a JPEG?

Screenshots of chats and receipts, photos of ID cards, whiteboard photos with names on them, and pictures of parcels or mail with an address label are common cases.

Will the exported file still be a JPEG?

You can export as JPEG or PNG. PNG avoids JPEG's compression artifacts around hard-edged shapes, which can help if you need the cleanest possible cover.
