Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Redacted Text Generator obscure sensitive information?
The tool allows you to click words to cover them with customizable visual blackout bars, pixelation, or stamps. You can also auto-redact patterns like phone numbers, emails, SSNs, and names.
Can redacted text be reversed or uncovered from the downloaded image or PDF?
No! When exported as a PNG image or PDF document, the redacted areas are permanently flattened into visual canvas blocks. The original hidden text is completely unrendered in the output image/PDF.
Is my confidential or sensitive document uploaded to any server?
Never. The entire Redacted Text Generator operates 100% client-side inside your browser memory. Your text and documents never leave your device.
What export options and classified document themes are available?
You can export high-resolution PNG document images, downloadable PDFs, copyable unicode redacted text (using █ symbols or [REDACTED] labels), and HTML/Markdown code blocks. Built-in themes include CIA Declassified Memos, FBI Cyber Dossiers, Retro Typewriters, Court Affidavits, and Dark Ops.
