Redact Kit helps you clean sensitive images and PDFs before you share them. Use it to cover visible private details, crop images, flatten redacted PDF pages, and remove hidden metadata from images and PDFs. It is designed for simple, local privacy cleanup when you need to send a screenshot, document, form, receipt, ID copy, or photo without leaving extra information behind. Key features: • Image redaction Draw solid redaction boxes directly onto images. Exported files are rebuilt as fresh PNG or JPEG images with metadata removed. • Image crop Crop images before export so only the part you need remains. • PDF redaction Redacted PDF pages are flattened into page images, so covered content is burned into the output instead of being left as editable PDF layers. • Metadata-only cleanup Remove hidden metadata without drawing redaction boxes. Supports images, PDFs, Photos, files, and folders. • Batch cleanup Clean multiple images and PDFs at once in Metadata mode. • Flexible export Save cleaned images to Files or Photos. Export PDFs to Files with selectable quality settings. Redact Kit is built for people who want a small, focused privacy tool without complicated editing software. Note: Metadata-only cleanup does not hide visible text or pixels. Use Image or PDF redaction mode when private information is visible on the page.
