I spend my days working on Pintura, my JS image editor SDK. One of the more popular feature requests is censoring information in images. I kept pushing it forwards as I wasn't sure how I could implement it so that it would both be fast and secure. Then a couple weeks ago I ran into the redact.photo domain. The perfect opportunity to implement image redaction and then publish it as a free service. Free in this case means actually free. No watermarks, No ads, and No paying with your data. Editing happens in the browser, so your privacy is 100% guaranteed. Enjoy! :) // edit: should now work as PWA as well

@rikschennink Pintura is a great tool too.

@rikschennink Can you please educate me on this part - "Editing happens in the browser, so your privacy is 100% guaranteed"? I'm apprehensive about uploading images to website for redaction, because the whole reason of redaction is not wanting others to see some stuff. How do I know the site is not uploading the photo to backend server. (not trying to be a prick. trying to understand how this works.)

@vicky_buddie Very valid question. The image is not uploaded. The code to edit the image is downloaded by your browser. Then the image file is opened by the downloaded code in your browser, the editing happens, and a new file is generated. At no point is any server involved, apart from sending the website code to you. But I don't know how I could indicate to the user that the image isn't uploaded.

This looks great Rik, I love how fast it is! Also very clever how you've implemented it in a way to prevent reverse-generating images by downsizing and scrambling the pixels.
