Redact information in images and docs
Images and docs shared online can unintentionally expose sensitive information. Think of email addresses in screenshots or street names in photos. A solution? These apps can scrub personal details from photos, docs, and screen shares.
Apps to redact it all
Hide private info from screenshots
How do you screenshot an email app without revealing your email address? You do it with CleanShot X. Besides grabbing professional screen captures, the app can hide sensitive details like names, addresses, or emails. Perfect for tutorials, demos, and bug reports.
Obscure parts of a photo
TouchRetouch removes unwanted objects from photos in a Photoshop-esque way, so that you don’t even notice something is gone. Street name or a random person in the background — you can make anything disappear.
Redact sensitive data in a PDF
Nitro PDF Pro is the best PDF editor to erase and redact private details. Just select the text you want to hide and choose Format > Redact Text in the app menu. You have two options: Black out or erase the text.
You can find and redact repetitive info across the entire document to save time. Press Cmd-F and choose Redact in the drop-down menu. Enter the text you want to hide and click Redact All.
Share your screen privately
PliimPRO ensures your Mac doesn’t reveal anything private about you during screen sharing. Hide desktop notifications, icons, and active apps — all in with one click. You can even have a custom “screen sharing” wallpaper.
