Redact Shield
Photo privacy redaction
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Redact Shield is a local-first photo redaction tool for quickly hiding sensitive details before you send, save, or post an image.
Choose a photo, camera capture, demo image, or pasted image, then mask private areas with blur, pixelation, or black bars. Auto detection uses Apple Vision on-device to help locate faces and readable text. You stay in control of the final export.
Pro privacy workflow tools:
- Shield Audit checks detected faces and text against current masks.
- Coverage score highlights whether a detected region appears covered.
- Open findings can be masked with one tap.
- Copyable audit report summarizes detections, covered items, and review-needed items.
- Manual brush controls, undo, redo, clear, and three masking styles.
- Redacted exports are flattened into a new image only when you choose to share or save.
Redact Shield does not require an account, does not upload your images to a developer server, and does not use tracking.

Redact Shield 2.0 — a pro upgrade for truly irreversible redaction, still 100% offline.
• Find & Mask: redact every occurrence of a word or regex with solid bars, using on-device text detection.
• Reusable keyword presets for the terms you redact again and again.
• New irreversible mask styles: static noise and opaque emoji cover (blur and pixelate can be reversed — these can't).
• Safe-to-Share gate: blocks export while any sensitive info is uncovered or a reversible mask remains, with one-tap fixes.
• Redaction Certificate: a tamper-evident SHA-256 receipt of what was masked and that metadata was stripped.
• Precision Loupe magnifier for masking tiny text exactly.
No account, no network — every image and redaction stays on your device.
