Photos of whiteboards, product shots with price tags, and memes with captions all carry text you might need hidden. Upload the image, pick a mode, and draw over the words — not the whole picture.
Processing is local, so marketing drafts, classroom slides, and personal posts stay private while you experiment with blur strength or solid covers.

To cover text in image online without ruining composition, region-based editing is key. HideShot applies effects only inside your selection so logos, backgrounds, and faces outside the box stay crisp.
Use Black Box when the string is sensitive; blur works when you only want to de-emphasize a joke caption; pixelate fits meme-style censorship. Switch modes anytime before drawing the next box.
Rectangle and lasso tools help when text follows irregular shapes — think curved packaging or handwritten notes on a photo.
Frequently asked questions
Does this work on photos of documents?
Yes. Photographed contracts, receipts, and slides are still images — draw over the printed lines you need hidden.
Can I cover curved or angled text?
Use the lasso tool to trace irregular areas, then apply your chosen effect inside that path.
Will covered text be recoverable?
Black Box is designed to be non-recoverable for normal viewers. Blur and pixelate are reversible in theory — choose accordingly.
Can I mix blur and black box on one image?
Yes. Set the mode before each selection; earlier areas keep their effect after you switch.
