Blur & pixelate – redact sensitive content
Blur and pixelate hide confidential parts of a screenshot — names, email addresses, IBANs, amounts. You simply drag over the area no one should see and share the image without worry. Everything happens locally in the editor.
What's the difference between blur and pixelate?
Blur makes an area soft and out of focus. Pixelate replaces it with coarse blocks. Both hide the content reliably; pixelate often looks more “technical”, blur more subtle.
What do I need it for?
- Share banking or invoice screenshots without exposing account details.
- Hide names and email addresses in chats or tickets.
- Redact internal info from a dashboard.
Step by step
- Open the screenshot in the editor.
- Choose “Redact” (blur or pixelate).
- Drag over the part you want to hide.
- Copy or share the image — the area stays hidden.
Tips & tricks
- Redact sensitive parts before sharing and double-check the result.
- For tiny details, drag generously over the whole area.
Frequently asked questions
Can pixelation be undone?
Not in the shared image — the hidden part is baked into the picture. In the editor you can undo the action before export.
Does it run locally?
Yes. Like everything in Cropy.it, redaction happens locally on your device.
