Redacto - Redact & Blur Photos
Censor screenshots & PDFs fast
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Hide private details in screenshots and PDFs before you share them. Redactions are baked into the pixels — once exported, nobody can peel them back.
FIVE TOOLS
• Block — solid colour fill in black, white, red, or any custom colour
• Blur — heavy gaussian blur that destroys text and faces beyond recovery
• Sticker — emoji over faces, names, or anything you want covered
• Underline — coloured bar beneath text for annotation
• Text — bold stamp text with adjustable rotation for usage-limitation notes
WORKS WITH ANY DOCUMENT
• Screenshots from any app on your phone
• Multi-page PDFs (up to 50 pages, batch redaction across the whole document)
• Photos of IDs, receipts, contracts, medical reports
• Direct import from Photos, Files, iCloud Drive, or the iOS Share Sheet
• Export as JPEG, save to Photos, or share as multi-page PDF
SMART AUTO-DETECT
On import, Redacto's on-device Vision pass finds faces and text lines automatically. One tap redacts every detected face or every text line. Multi-page PDFs auto-detect per page as you navigate.
FIND TEXT ACROSS PAGES
Type a name, account number, address, or any phrase. Redacto OCRs every page of your document and applies your chosen tool to every match — across all pages in a single pass. Live progress display, one-tap cancel. Multi-language recognition handles Turkish, Greek, CJK, accented Latin, and more.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Everything happens on your device:
• Nothing is uploaded anywhere
• No accounts, no signup, no tracking, no cloud
• Vision OCR runs locally on Apple's Neural Engine
• Save creates a brand-new photo with no relationship to the source screenshot
• EXIF, GPS, and thumbnails are stripped from every export
WHY REDACTO
Most blur tools draw an overlay on top of an image. The original pixels still exist underneath — recoverable by anyone with the right software. PDF redactions placed over selectable vector text are worse; the text layer sits underneath, readable by any viewer with a text-select tool.
Redacto's renderer flattens edits into the bitmap, replacing the original pixel data. There is no recovery path because there is nothing to recover. PDFs are rasterised on import so even vector text is baked permanently into the redacted output.
REDACTO PRO
Every tool above is free — the free plan includes 3 exports per day. Redacto Pro removes the cap:
• Unlimited exports, every day
• Save to Photos and share as JPEG or PDF without limits
• One subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase — your choice
