Hide part of a photo before sharing
Names, addresses, and faces leak through screenshots and photos. Mark the regions, choose black or mosaic, and keep the original.

The job
A screenshot for a bug report contains your email address; a photo for a listing shows your house number. Draw a box over each part that should not ship.
Black box or mosaic
A solid black box hides content completely and signals “removed on purpose”. A mosaic blurs pixels into large blocks — it looks softer but is still not reversible from the exported file, since the fine detail is discarded before encoding.
Drag each region on the preview; small slips under a few pixels are ignored. Up to 50 areas per image.
Redact the metadata too
Pixels are only half the leak — JPEG files often carry GPS coordinates and device details in EXIF. Strip them with the metadata remover on the redacted copy before posting.
