## What is zeroNet Redact?

Share the file without sharing every private detail. Hide phone numbers in screenshots, redact sensitive text in PDFs, and cover selected areas in videos — with content processing on your device and no upload of your originals.

FOR SCREENSHOTS, RECEIPTS & PHOTOS
Use local text detection to find phone numbers and email addresses, then review the suggested areas. Search repeated text or add covers manually. Choose solid covers, mosaic or blur, and review detected faces before covering them.

FOR PDF DOCUMENTS
Prepare a copy of a contract, receipt or other document before sending it. Search sensitive text, check pages that still need attention, and add manual covers where needed.

FOR VIDEO PRIVACY
Review detected faces or place your own cover over a selected area. Tap to position the box, adjust its size and choose when it appears. Manual boxes stay in a fixed position; preview the full video to check that moving details stay covered.

PICK UP WHERE YOU LEFT OFF
Save encrypted drafts for photos, PDFs and videos. For multiple images, apply shared detection rules, review each file, and pause or retry as needed. Organize originals and finished copies into groups, combine images into a long image, and share from the result preview.

YOUR FILES, ON YOUR DEVICE
Imported originals and editing drafts are stored encrypted on your device. Optional app locking supports a password and Face ID or Touch ID on compatible devices. No account is required to process your files. Purchases and restoring purchases use Apple services.

TRY FREE. UPGRADE WITH ONE PURCHASE.
The free version includes 3 image/video exports combined and 3 PDF exports per day. Free video exports support source files up to 300 MB. A one-time in-app purchase removes these limits and unlocks premium stickers. No subscription.

Automatic detection can miss private information. Review the entire exported result before sharing.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.5.0 — 2026-09-14

Version 1.5 makes it easier to protect private information before sharing.

• A cleaner layout for Files, Redacted Files, and Settings, with compact group and filter menus.
• Easier manual video covers: add a box, tap to position it, drag to resize, and choose when it appears.
• Encrypted editing drafts for photos, PDFs, and videos, so you can continue later.
• Find repeated text, swipe to select words, and quickly navigate PDF pages that need review.
• Prepare multiple images with shared detection rules, then review and export each one. Pause or retry as needed.

### 1.4.1 — 2026-08-30

Improved App Store listing with clearer feature descriptions.

NEW
- One-tap face redaction for photos: a new Faces action detects every face in the image locally on your device, review them one by one, select or skip any face, and cover the chosen ones with stickers in one tap
- 4 new premium video face stickers: Heart Eyes, Robot, Clown and Lion

IMPROVEMENTS
- Clearer anonymous voice and more reliable face detection

### 1.4 — 2026-08-26

NEW

• 4 new premium video face stickers: Heart Eyes, Robot, Clown and Lion, powered by licensed Twemoji artwork

IMPROVEMENTS
• Clearer anonymous voice: removed the fixed EQ boost so the male/female voice presets sound more natural
