Redact Shield
Read full descriptionHide full description
Solid Shield Delivery makes a separate lossless PNG with every selected mask filled black, then lets you review and share the exact image alongside its checksum record. HOW IT WORKS 1. Import an image or open Demo. Draw masks over private areas and inspect the full image. 2. Tap the shield and mask count, or choose Solid Shield Delivery from Export. Build the solid copy. 3. Review the complete preview, confirm that you checked for visible private details, and share the PNG with its delivery record. Separate Brush, Rectangle and Move controls prevent drawing from competing with panning. Blur and pixelation, opaque styles, on-device detection, keyword masking, profiles, batch tools and metadata inspection remain available. Standard sharing now sends the exact PNG used for its checksum record. Failed metadata encoding no longer falls back to an unverified export. WHAT TO KNOW Only selected areas are masked. Detection can miss details, and the checksum does not certify completeness, authenticity or legal compliance. Images are limited to 40 million pixels and 2,000 masks for Solid Delivery. Receiving services may re-encode the image and change its checksum. Save the files you need before closing the temporary delivery. iPhone and iPad.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FaceLock at Free against Redact Shield's $3.99. Redact Shield's advantage is iOS requirement (17.0 vs 26.0). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
