Question 1

Will my images be uploaded?

Accepted Answer

No. All redaction runs locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server.

Question 2

Solid vs Pixelate – what's the difference?

Accepted Answer

Solid covers the area with a black block (irreversible). Pixelate creates mosaic blocks to hide details while preserving rough shapes.

Question 3

How strong is pixelation and how to adjust it?

Accepted Answer

Use Strength: Strong, Stronger, or Extreme. Extreme applies the strongest pixelation for best privacy. For critical areas (eyes, ID), apply multiple boxes or switch to Solid.

Question 4

Are EXIF/GPS and metadata removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Exporting re-encodes the image and removes EXIF/GPS metadata by default.

Question 5

How do I import/export redaction presets?

Accepted Answer

Use Export JSON to save current boxes as relative coordinates. Use Import JSON to load and apply a preset on any image.

Question 6

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Accepted Answer

Space toggles Solid/Pixelate. Delete/Backspace undo the last action.
