Which image formats does image redaction support?

PNG and JPG (JPEG). Other raster formats such as TIFF, BMP, WebP, and GIF are not currently supported.

Does image redaction require a paid plan?

Yes. Image redaction requires a Basic plan or higher. The free plan supports text anonymization only.

How does it find PII inside an image?

The image is run through OCR (Tesseract) to extract its text layer and each piece of text's position, then that text is analyzed by the same PII detector used for documents. Detected regions are covered with a black box on the image itself.

Is the redaction reversible?

No. Image redaction covers the detected region with an opaque black box directly on the image pixels — this is a one-way, visual redaction, not a reversible encryption like the text anonymizer offers.

How accurate is OCR-based detection on scans?

Accuracy depends on scan quality, resolution, and handwriting versus print. Low-quality scans and handwritten text lower OCR accuracy, which lowers detection recall — review redacted output before relying on it for high-stakes documents.

Redigeer PII Binne Beelde

Regsuitstallings, geskandeerde ID-dokumente, en HR-skermskote dra dikwels persoonlike data as pixels, nie teks nie. Ons beeldpyplyn laat OCR loop, detecteer PII in die onttrekte teks, en bedek elke treffer met 'n swart blok.

Hoe Dit Werk

Drie stappe, bediener-kant uitgevoer op jou opgelaaide beeld.

1. OCR

Tesseract onttrek die tekslaag uit jou PNG of JPG, insluitend sy posisie op die bladsy.

2. Detecteer

Die onttrekte teks loop deur dieselfde PII-detektor wat vir dokumente gebruik word, wat name, ID-nommers, datums, en ander entiteite met 'n vertroue telling identifiseer.

3. Redigeer

Elke opgespoorde area word bedek met 'n soliede swart blok (die verstek vulling) direk op die beeld, en die geredigeerde lêer word teruggegee om af te laai.

Waar Dit Help

Enige geskandeerde of gefotografeerde dokument waar PII in die beeld self sit.

Regsuitstallings

Redigeer name, adresse, en saaknommers op geskandeerde uitstallings en bewysfoto's voor produksie of indiening.

ID-Dokumente

Bedek paspoort-, bestuurderslisensie-, en nasionale ID-nommers op gefotografeerde of geskandeerde identiteitsdokumente.

HR-Skanderings

Redigeer persoonlike data op geskandeerde werknemervorms, tydstate, en indiensnemingspapierwerk voor deling of argivering.

Ondersteunde Formate

Twee beeldformate word tans ondersteun.

Ondersteun

PNG
JPG / JPEG

Nog Nie Ondersteun Nie

• PDF-bladsybeelde (gebruik eerder die PDF-pyplyn vir PDF's met 'n tekslaag)
• Ander raster formate (bv. TIFF, BMP, WebP, GIF)

Basic-plan en Hoër

Beeldredigering vereis 'n Basic-plan en hoër. Gratis-plan rekeninge kan teks anonimiseer maar nie beelde nie; opgradering ontsluit PNG/JPG-oplaaie tot jou plan se lêergroottegrens.

Gereelde Vrae

Watter beeldformate ondersteun beeldredigering?

PNG en JPG (JPEG). Ander raster formate soos TIFF, BMP, WebP, en GIF word tans nie ondersteun nie.

Vereis beeldredigering 'n betaalde plan?

Ja. Beeldredigering vereis 'n Basic-plan en hoër. Die gratis plan ondersteun slegs teks-anonimisering.

Hoe vind dit PII binne 'n beeld?

Die beeld loop deur OCR (Tesseract) om sy tekslaag en die posisie van elke stuk teks te onttrek, waarna daardie teks deur dieselfde PII-detektor ontleed word wat vir dokumente gebruik word. Opgespoorde areas word met 'n swart blok op die beeld self bedek.

Is die redigering omkeerbaar?

Nee. Beeldredigering bedek die opgespoorde area met 'n ondeurskynende swart blok direk op die beeld se pixels — dit is 'n eenrigting, visuele redigering, nie 'n omkeerbare enkripsie soos die teks-anonimiseerder bied nie.

Hoe akkuraat is OCR-gebaseerde opsporing op skanderings?

Akkuraatheid hang af van skanderingskwaliteit, resolusie, en handskrif teenoor drukwerk. Lae-kwaliteit skanderings en handgeskrewe teks verlaag OCR-akkuraatheid, wat opsporingsherinnering verlaag — hersien geredigeerde uitset voordat jy daarop staatmaak vir hoë-risiko dokumente.

Limitations / Important note

OCR-based text extraction is probabilistic; low-quality scans and handwriting lower detection recall.
Redaction is a visual, one-way black box over the detected region — not reversible encryption.

We do not train models on your text.

We store your files in Germany.

You can delete your account at any time.

You own your work.

Where we run

Our company HQ is in Saarbrücken, Germany. Our servers run in Hetzner's Falkenstein datacenter.

How we test

Automated checks run on every release.

Each surface gets its own sweep script and report.

Human reviewers spot-check the output each week.

We test detection against sample documents before each release.

A failing unit or integration run stops the release.

What we never do

We never sell your information to third parties.
We never train models on what you upload.
We never keep your work after you delete it.
We never share keys with any outside firm.
We never run ads inside the product.

Plans in plain words

We sell credits, not seats.

One credit covers one short job.

Long jobs use a few credits each.

Paid plans can buy top-up credits.

Credits reset at the end of each cycle.

Who built this

A small team of engineers and lawyers built this.

We ship from Europe and work in the open.

Our founder note spells out why we started.

Where to start

How the parts fit

A browser add-on cleans text inside Chrome.

A Word plug-in handles drafts in Office.

A small desktop tool works on whole folders.

An agent protocol link feeds large models safely.

All four share one core engine and one rule set.

Words from our team

We started this work after a lunch about cookies.

One friend kept getting odd ads on her phone.

We asked why a court file leaked through a draft.

We sketched the first build on a napkin that week.

By month three we had a tiny demo for a friend.

She used it on her first case the next day.

Common questions we hear

Can the tool read scanned PDFs? Yes, with OCR.

Does it work on long files? Yes, in small chunks.

Can I roll my own rule set? Yes, save it as a preset.

Does it run offline? The desktop build runs offline.

Do you keep my files? No, the cloud build wipes after each run.

Will it learn from my work? No, we never train on inputs.

A short tour of the workflow

Upload a file or paste a snippet of prose.

Pick the entities you want gone from the draft.

Choose a method: replace, mask, hash, encrypt, or redact.

Press run and watch the side panel show each hit.

Skim the result and tweak any rule that misfired.

Save the cleaned file or send it to a teammate.
