MaskID helps you redact IDs, passports, PDFs and photos before sharing them. Hide only the details a recipient does not need, then review the protected copy before sending it. PROTECT WHAT YOU SHARE Cover ID numbers, addresses, signatures, phone numbers, email addresses, bank details and other personal information. Keep required details visible and add a watermark to state the purpose of a copy. REVIEW ON YOUR DEVICE • Capture or import from Camera, Photos and Files. • On-device OCR suggests details that may be sensitive and can work without an internet connection. • Review every suggestion and adjust each mask yourself. You decide what remains visible. • Prepare multi-page PDFs, images, contracts, pay slips, forms and travel documents. • Optional direct import from Google Drive and Dropbox. CHECK THE EXPORTED COPY • Export a flattened, rasterized PDF or image. • Check the export for hidden text and recoverable layers. • Remove common GPS, camera and timestamp metadata from supported exports. • Share the protected copy, not the original. Checks help you review an export, but cannot confirm that you selected every sensitive area. Review every page and the recipient before sharing. KEEP DOCUMENTS PRIVATE • Store documents in an encrypted local library. • Protect the local Vault with Face ID or PIN and AES-GCM encryption. Vault documents stay on your device. • Core protection works without an account. • Optional MaskID Pro iCloud sync stores complete restorable packages for documents outside the Vault in your private CloudKit database. FREE AND PRO MaskID Free includes manual masks, on-device OCR suggestions, protected export and the local Vault. Free supports up to 10 documents processed cumulatively. MaskID Pro adds unlimited processing, batch tools, additional mask styles, image controls, purpose workflows and optional cloud features.
