What counts as personal information in an image?

Names, government IDs, financial numbers, precise addresses, and account tokens—all deserve blur or stronger redaction before public posting.

Can I blur multiple PII fields in one form screenshot?

Draw separate regions for each field. HideShot applies blur per selection on the same canvas.

Is blurred PII safe for public Twitter posts?

Aggressive blur or black box is safer for public channels; treat light blur as internal-only unless you verify illegibility.

Does HideShot log what I blur?

No server-side processing means we do not receive your image or blur coordinates.

Soften any PII region you select without darkening the whole frame.

Personal information shows up in unexpected corners: shipping labels, wristbands, and zoom name tiles. Blur lets you dampen those fields while keeping the rest of the screenshot readable for training docs.

HideShot's soft blur is enough for many internal shares where black boxes feel too harsh. You stay in control of which fields are degraded and which remain for instructional clarity.
