Privacy & Compliance for Images
This checklist helps teams prepare images for compliant sharing: redact sensitive regions, remove metadata, and keep processing local.
- Identify sensitive fields (faces, plates, ID numbers, contacts, timestamps, QR codes).
- Use Redact to cover or pixelate those areas. Prefer solid blocks for irreversible masking.
- Remove EXIF/GPS with re-encoding. See EXIF/GPS removal.
- Keep file size limits with Target KB (e.g., 200KB/500KB/1MB).
- For batches, export ZIP in the tool after processing.
- Local processing: images never leave your device.
- Re-encoding strips EXIF/GPS by default on export.
