⚙️ How This Tool Works Locally
When you use this tool on PrivacyKit, every byte is processed directly in your device RAM.
- 1. No Network Traffic: No HTTP POST or PUT requests are made to any server. Your internet can even be disconnected.
- 2. Modern Native APIs: Computation uses native HTML5 Canvas, Web Cryptography (SubtleCrypto), and client-side binary parsers.
- 3. Zero Footprint: Closing this browser tab immediately frees the memory buffer. No persistent cookies or caches remain.
💡 Frequently Asked Questions
Can blurred or pixelated areas be unblurred by someone else?
No. When PrivacyKit exports your edited image, the original pixels beneath the blurred box are permanently mathematically averaged or overwritten with solid blocks. The original pixel data is destroyed.
Does this tool automatically detect faces?
You can easily draw rectangular selection boxes over any face, license plate, or text region, giving you complete granular control over what gets censored.
Are my original unedited photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Your original photo is loaded into an HTML5 Canvas element in your browser RAM and never transmitted across the network.
Which redaction style is the most secure?
Solid Blackout is mathematically the most secure because the selected area is completely replaced by uniform black pixels with zero residual gradient.
What image formats can I export?
You can export in full-quality JPEG, PNG, or WebP format with clean metadata.
