How to Blur Sensitive Info in Screenshots Online
Hide API Keys, Passwords, and Personal Details
Sharing screenshots is a daily task for developers, support agents, and team members. However, screenshots often contain sensitive data like passwords, API keys, emails, or financial records. Posting these unredacted can lead to security breaches. PhotoDiet lets you paint directly over screenshots to apply a secure, client-side blur that physically destroys the underlying pixels, ensuring your secrets stay safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can hackers decode the blurred text in the screenshot?
A: No. Unlike simple pixelation or black bars which can sometimes be bypassed if done poorly, our Gaussian blur filter blends and permanently alters the pixels, making reverse-engineering mathematically impossible.
Q: Is this secure for corporate screenshots?
A: Yes. Since the screenshot is parsed and redacted entirely in memory within your browser sandbox, no data is ever uploaded, making it fully compliant with corporate security policies.
