Feature · Redaction

Share screenshots without leaking sensitive data.

Drag over names, emails, card numbers, internal notes, or anything else private. Everyone else sees the clean version. You keep the original.

Drag a box across what shouldn't ship.

One gesture across whatever shouldn't leave the room. The bar lands instantly, with an amber outline so you can see exactly what's covered before you ship.

  • Customer names, emails, and phone numbers
  • Card digits, account IDs, dollar amounts
  • Internal notes, churn flags, anything off-the-record
  • Multiple redactions per screenshot, in any order

Drag the cursor across whatever should stay private.

Two artifacts, one source

Original stays. Share is clean.

Redactions live as a layer on top of the screenshot — they never touch the PNG underneath. Open the file again next week and the real data is still there, exactly as you captured it.

When you export, UIHike renders a separate redacted file. You decide which one to send. The original never leaves your machine unless you want it to.

Same screenshot. Two outputs. You decide which one ships.

Why this isn't Paint

A black box in Paint isn't a redaction. It's a guess.

Drawing on top of the image and saving over it bakes the redaction in — but also throws away the original. Move the box one pixel and you can never recover what was under it. UIHike keeps both.
