This is SO COOL!

This is so intelligent. I used photos of text not even PDFs and it was able to detect the text in the IMAGE and black it out. Pure magic. It's also a beautiful app so I just enjoy using it. Love this

Fast and easy redaction

Great for quickly covering sensitive information and PII. Also good for focusing attention on what you want people to see.
