Frequently asked questions
Can I redact a PNG screenshot?
Yes. Upload the PNG, cover account numbers, emails, or faces with rectangle, circle, or polygon shapes, then download.
Will the PNG stay sharp?
The export is a new image with covers burned in. PNG is lossless, so edges around your shapes stay crisp — review the preview so nothing sensitive remains outside them.
What kinds of PNGs need redaction most often?
Screenshots of bank apps, chat threads, email inboxes, and dashboards are the most common — PNG is the default format for most screenshot tools, so it's easy to end up sharing more than intended.
Does redacting a screenshot remove any hidden metadata?
The export is a freshly rendered image, so it does not carry over the original file's metadata. Still, redraw and confirm every shape yourself — nothing is covered until you place it.
