## What is zeroNet Redact?

ZeroNet Redact is a fully offline privacy redaction tool. Before you post, submit, or share a photo, video, or PDF, cover up what shouldn't be seen — safely.
AI-POWERED DETECTION
The built-in offline text recognition engine automatically finds phone numbers, email addresses, ID numbers and bank card numbers in your photos and PDFs. Review each finding one by one, or redact them all in a single tap. Multi-page PDFs are handled page by page.
PRECISE MANUAL REDACTION
Just draw with your finger. Pinch to zoom for small text, choose mosaic, blur, solid black or colored block effects, pick from three brush sizes, and undo/redo freely. Move or resize applied redactions any time before export.
NEW IN 1.1: VIDEO REDACTION
Automatically detect and cover sensitive content in your videos, or manually mark areas to redact. Apply mosaic or blur effects frame by frame — all processed 100% on-device.
NEW IN 1.1: MULTI-IMAGE STITCHING
Combine multiple photos into a single image in just a few taps — perfect for merging screenshots, receipts, or ID photos before redacting and sharing.
REAL PRIVACY, BY DESIGN
• 100% offline: no network requests, no account required — your files never leave your device
• Encrypted at rest: imported originals are stored with AES-GCM encryption, protected by a password plus Face ID / Touch ID
• Snapshot protection: the interface is covered automatically in the app switcher, so nothing leaks on screen
ORGANIZED FILES
Sort originals and redacted results into custom groups. Redacted files can be shared or exported directly, while your originals stay untouched for re-editing.
FREE & PRO
The free version exports up to 3 images and 3 PDFs per day. A single one-time purchase unlocks unlimited exports — no subscription, no ads.
Perfect for: hiding order numbers on receipts, masking details on ID photos, removing contacts from chat screenshots, covering signatures and account numbers in contract PDFs, and blurring faces or plates in videos.
We collect no data — there is no server to send it to.
