PrivacyShield - Redact Images
Censor & Protect Private Info
Only for Mac
$0.99
Mac
Share screenshots and photos confidently.
Draw over any sensitive detail — passwords, faces, addresses — and export a clean, metadata-free image in seconds.
Share images without oversharing.
Before you post a screenshot to social media, send a document to a colleague, or upload a photo online, PrivacyShield lets you draw over anything you don't want seen — passwords, account numbers, faces, addresses, email addresses, or any private detail — and saves a clean copy with all metadata removed.
Everything runs entirely on your Mac. No account, no internet connection, no cloud upload, ever.
REDACT IN SECONDS
Draw a box over any part of the image and it's covered instantly. Move, resize, or delete boxes at any time before exporting. Works on PNG, JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, GIF, BMP, and PDF (first page).
MULTIPLE COVER STYLES
• Solid black — the only method that cannot be reversed
• Solid white — for clean document redaction
• Custom color — match your brand or document style
• Mosaic — pixelated block effect
• Blur — soft gaussian blur
SHAPES
• Rectangle with adjustable corner radius
• Ellipse for faces or circular areas
METADATA STRIPPED
Every exported image is re-encoded from raw pixels, removing all EXIF data including GPS location, capture time, camera model, and device information.
FLEXIBLE EXPORT
Save to any folder, jump straight to Desktop or Downloads, or copy the redacted image directly to your clipboard for pasting into email, Slack, or any other app. Export as PNG, JPEG (with quality control), HEIC, or TIFF.
DESIGNED FOR SPEED
• Undo and redo up to 50 steps
• Select and edit multiple redactions at once
• Keyboard shortcuts for every action
• Zoom in for pixel-precise placement
• Grid overlay for alignment
• Drag and drop images from Finder or Photos
• Open recent files in one click
PrivacyShield is a one-time purchase with no subscription, no ads, and no in-app purchases. Your images stay on your Mac — always.
