Feature Breakdown
Import Screenshots or Photos
Choose an existing image from your Android device. The app works with screenshots and ordinary photos, so you can clean up both screen captures and camera images before sharing.
Choose Blur, Blackout, or Pixelate
Different privacy situations need different coverage. Use blur for soft visual hiding, blackout for stronger text coverage, or pixelate for a familiar censored-photo look.
Select the Private Area
Cover the exact part of the image that contains private information. This keeps the rest of the screenshot readable while hiding the details you do not want to expose.
Save a New Edited Copy
The app exports a newly edited image. That helps you keep the original separate from the version you plan to share.
Share the Safer Version
After editing, share the redacted copy through Android's normal sharing options for messaging apps, social platforms, work chats, and support conversations.

Your image editing happens on your device. The app is designed around simple local redaction before sharing. Always review the final image carefully.

Tutorials for Common Screenshot Privacy Tasks
How to Blur Private Information in a Screenshot
Open your screenshot, choose the blur tool, and cover the area that contains private information. Blur is useful when you want to reduce visibility without making the screenshot feel too visually heavy.
How to Blackout Text Before Sharing a Screenshot
Choose blackout when the information should be clearly covered. Blackout is often the better option for phone numbers, emails, addresses, payment details, account IDs, and private chat lines.
How to Pixelate Part of a Photo on Android
Pixelate is useful when you want a recognizable censored look. It works well for faces, profile photos, usernames, license plates, or selected image areas.
How to Hide Names, Numbers, and Messages Before Posting
Before posting, scan the entire image. Look for contact names, message previews, account handles, timestamps, profile photos, emails, phone numbers, and visible background details.
How to Safely Share Screenshots Online
Check what is visible, hide private areas, save a new edited copy, review the final image, then share only the redacted version.
Common Use Cases
Hiding phone numbers
Use blackout or pixelate when a number appears in contact cards, delivery messages, receipts, or support screenshots.
Hiding usernames
Blur or pixelate handles before posting screenshots to public spaces where the person's identity is not needed.
Hiding email addresses
Blackout is usually best because email text can remain readable through weak blur.
Hiding addresses
Cover home addresses, workplace locations, shipping labels, and map details before sharing.
Blurring profile photos
Blur or pixelate profile photos when sharing chat screenshots or social media examples.
Covering payment or banking details
Use blackout for card information, transaction references, balances, account identifiers, and banking details.
Censoring chat screenshots
Cover names, profile photos, message content, timestamps, and group details before posting.
Preparing screenshots for social media
Redact anything viewers do not need to see before posting to Instagram, X, Facebook, WhatsApp, or public communities.
Redacting work or personal details
Prepare images for support tickets, tutorials, client updates, school work, or public examples.
Blur vs Blackout vs Pixelate
Each redaction style has a different purpose. Choose the one that matches how sensitive the visible information is.
Blur
Softly hiding less sensitive visual details.
Profile photos, faces, usernames, background details, and visual distractions.
Use enough blur to make text unreadable. Light blur may still leave words partly visible.
Blackout
Clear coverage for sensitive text.
Phone numbers, emails, addresses, payment details, private messages, account IDs, and banking information.
For highly sensitive text, blackout is usually the clearest visual choice.
Pixelate
A recognizable censored-photo look.
Faces, profile photos, usernames, license plates, and social screenshots where you want visible censorship.
Pixelate works well when you want readers to understand that something was intentionally hidden.
