About Redactly: Redact & Blur
Redactly is the fast, private way to hide sensitive details in any photo or document — before you send it. Editing a W-2 for a background check? Blocking out an SSN or salary? Protecting a child's face? Redactly makes it a few taps — and unlike a marker app, what you hide is gone for good. TRULY SECURE • Redactions destroy the pixels underneath — not a removable overlay. • Exports are flattened and stripped of all metadata (EXIF, GPS). • Even pixelate and blur are made irreversible (detail is destroyed and random noise is injected), so they can't be un-blurred or "depixelated." • Your original photo is never changed. SMART, ON-DEVICE DETECTION • Auto-detect finds likely SSNs, dollar amounts, card and account numbers, emails, phone numbers, dates — and faces — and lets you approve them with one tap. • A verify step re-scans your export and warns if anything sensitive is still readable. EASY AND FLEXIBLE • Blackout, white-out, marker, pixelate, blur, and text watermarks. • Pinch to zoom, draw a box, move or resize it, undo anytime. • Export to Photos or share — clean and ready. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • 100% on-device. No accounts. No tracking. Nothing is ever uploaded. • Optional Face ID / Touch ID app lock. Try Redactly Pro free for 3 days. Then keep it for $4.99/year, or unlock Lifetime once for $9.99. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
