Frequently Asked Questions

Is redacting images on Checkistan 100% private and secure?

Yes. All image processing, canvas drawing, and pixel rasterization happen entirely inside your web browser. Your photos are never transmitted to any external server or cloud storage.

Can redacted areas be undone or reversed using brightness/contrast filters?

No. When exported, the tool permanently burns raw color and scrambled noise pixels directly over the source image data, mathematically destroying the underlying pixel values so they cannot be recovered by any filter.

Does the tool remove hidden GPS coordinates and camera EXIF metadata?

Yes! The built-in EXIF scrubber strips all camera serial numbers, GPS geolocation tags, timestamps, and device identifiers upon export.

What file formats can I export my redacted images to?

You can export lossless PNG, configurable JPEG, lightweight WebP, or multi-platform PDF documents, or copy the redacted image directly to your clipboard.
