How fast redaction works

1 · Install

Add FramedShot in Chrome

One click from the store — no account. You will mask in the same tab you browse in.

2 · Mask

Capture or drop a PNG

Open the editor, then Annotations → Redact: blur, pixelate, or solid fill on each sensitive region.

Processed in your browser — no upload to edit
3 · Ship

Export, then paste

Download a clean PNG and attach to Slack, a ticket, or docs — after masking, not before.

Secure workflow

Choose the safest redaction method for the field

Use FramedShot as the editing layer before a screenshot reaches Slack, Jira, Linear, Notion, or a customer email. Mask the sensitive pixels first, export the clean PNG, then share.

No upload
Redaction is applied in your browser tab. Do the privacy pass before another tool or chat app receives the original screenshot.
No account
Open the extension, mask the screenshot, and export. No signup step just to hide a support email or token.
Method by risk
Use solid fill for secrets, pixelate for PII or IDs, and blur for low-risk visual cleanup where context still matters.

Local editing

Redact before the image hits another tool

FramedShot applies blur, pixelate, and solid fill in Chrome on your machine. Skip the “upload this screenshot to blur one field” step — that pattern copies your image to another system before it is safe.

Redaction tools

Three ways to hide what matters

Pick the right tool for the context. All processed locally, nothing leaves your device.

Professional Blur
Smoothly obscure text while maintaining a clean UI look. Ideal for email addresses, names, and account details in product screenshots.
Privacy Pixelate
Give your screenshots a clear “censored” look. Strong fit for ticket IDs, internal URLs, and admin fields — pair with solid fill for real secrets.
Solid Black-out
Completely cover sensitive areas with a 100% opaque fill for maximum security. No blur artefacts, nothing recoverable.
FAQ

Common questions

What is the best screenshot redaction tool without uploads?

FramedShot lets you redact screenshots with blur, pixelate, or solid fill locally in Chrome, then export instantly without uploading images to any server.

Is it safe to use online redaction tools?

Most online tools require image uploads, which is a security risk for passwords or API keys. FramedShot processes image edits locally in your browser with no upload step.
