Screenshots copy everything on screen — balances, ticket IDs, customer names, and API keys you never meant to expose. Before you paste into Slack, email, or a bug tracker, draw boxes over the sensitive lines and export a clean copy.
HideShot runs entirely in your browser. Your file never uploads to a server, so you can redact work screenshots, banking captures, or support tickets without waiting on a queue or creating an account.

When you remove sensitive info from screenshot files with HideShot, you choose exactly which rectangles get covered. That matters because a full-image blur would hide UI you still need reviewers to see — only the secret rows disappear.
For regulated data (health IDs, financial strings, credentials), Black Box mode is the recommended default. Blur and pixelate discourage casual reading but can leave high-contrast digits partially recoverable on some displays.
Because processing is local, you can iterate fast: paste from clipboard, black out a column, undo, enlarge a box, download PNG. There is no watermark and no export cap on the finished file.
Frequently asked questions
What counts as sensitive info in a screenshot?
Anything you would not post publicly: account numbers, passwords, internal URLs, customer PII, unreleased product names, or private chat content. Draw one box per field group.
Is Black Box safer than blur for screenshots?
Yes for text and numbers. A solid black fill removes underlying pixels instead of softening them, which is what security reviewers expect.
Does HideShot store my screenshot?
No. Editing happens in browser memory on your device. Closing the tab clears the session copy.
Can I redact multiple areas on one capture?
Yes. Apply as many selections as you need, use Undo to adjust, then download once.
