Hide names, numbers, addresses
Sharing a screenshot of a flight ticket, an invoice, an ID? Blurify finds the text and the PII inside it. You pick what gets covered.
How it works for documents.
Drop the screenshot or photo
Booking confirmations, ID cards, invoices, letters, code on screens. Anything with text that shouldn't be public.
Text + PII patterns highlighted
Google Cloud Vision DOCUMENT_TEXT_DETECTION reads every word. A local regex pack flags emails, phone numbers, IBANs, US/UK SSN/NI numbers, and Luhn-valid card numbers — those regions are pre-selected for you.
Pick a redaction style — export
Solid black block is the default (the journalism convention). Or pick gaussian / pixelate / color overlay. EXIF stripped automatically.
Questions, honestly answered.
- What PII patterns get flagged?
- Email, international phone number, IBAN, US-format SSN and UK-format NI numbers, and Luhn-valid credit-card numbers. Free-form addresses don't match a regex and need to be drawn manually — the editor's region tool is built around that being normal.
- Will redaction survive someone trying to lift the original text?
- Solid-block redaction at export replaces the pixels entirely — there's no underlying text to recover. PDF redaction tools often fail at this (they hide text without removing it). We're working with raster images, which makes this honest.
- Does the OCR text leave my session?
- The OCR call goes to Google Cloud Vision, which returns the text to us. The PII regex runs locally inside our Lambda. Neither we nor Google retain the text beyond the request lifetime.
- Can I redact a PDF directly?
- Not yet — currently raster images only. The workaround is screenshotting the PDF page, redacting that, sharing the screenshot. PDF support is on the roadmap.
