NexRedact — Private by Default

Some things in a photo aren't meant to be shared.

You're selling a car and need to blur the plates. You're sharing a screenshot of a receipt but the card number is visible. You took a great event photo but a stranger's kid is in frame. NexRedact lets you draw blur zones over anything sensitive, then saves a flattened image where the blur is permanent and cannot be undone.

Simple redaction that actually works

No layers, no Photoshop, no uploading sensitive images to someone else's server. Just draw, blur, download.

Draw blur zones with your mouse

Click and drag to select a rectangular area. Adjust the blur intensity — from a subtle gaussian to a heavy pixelation that makes text completely unreadable. Add as many zones as you need before saving.

Permanent, irreversible redaction

The downloaded image is flattened. The blurred pixels are baked into the file — there's no hidden layer underneath that someone could extract. This matters for legal, medical, and journalistic work where partial redaction isn't acceptable.

Common use cases

Blurring license plates in vehicle listings. Redacting account numbers on invoice screenshots. Hiding bystander faces in crowd photos for news use. Removing your address from a photo before posting it to a marketplace. All of this takes about ten seconds.

Nothing gets uploaded

The image stays in your browser the entire time. NexRedact uses the Canvas API to apply the blur filter locally — no server, no account, no file size cap. Download the result as JPG or PNG and you're done.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about NexRedact privacy redaction.

Is the blur permanent on my redacted images?

Yes, completely. The blur and blackout zones are permanently drawn and rasterized onto the image canvas before download. There are no layers, masks, or metadata tags left behind that could be undone.

Can someone extract the unblurred image?

No. Unlike PDF editors that sometimes hide original text under a black box, NexRedact performs a destructive pixel edit. The original pixels in the blurred/blackout zones are completely replaced and destroyed.

What image formats are supported?

NexRedact supports JPG, PNG, WebP, and other standard browser-compatible image formats.

Are my sensitive screenshots uploaded to a server?

No, they never touch any server. The redaction is done entirely inside your local browser client to guarantee maximum privacy for financial, legal, or personal data.
