Many free online PDF or image editing websites upload your files to remote cloud servers where they may be logged, cached in unencrypted buckets, or inspected by third-party workers.
Landlords, utility providers, and KYC services often request proof of address or income, but only need to verify your name, not your sensitive tax numbers or bank balances.
MaskMyBody operates under a strict zero-server airgap architecture: your sensitive document is decoded, painted, and exported entirely within your computer’s local memory.

How to Redact Photos Locally (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Drop Photo of ID or Document Select a photo or scan of your passport, driver license, pay stub, or utility bill. It loads into local RAM in under 5ms.
Step 2: Select Brush Mode Activate the precision brush. Adjust the size with the slider or tap to stamp fingertip-sized privacy pads.
Step 3: Paint Over Sensitive Data Drag your cursor or finger over Social Security numbers, bank balances, passport MRZ codes, and street addresses.
Step 4: Download Sanitized Document Export a flattened JPEG or PNG. Blacked-out pixels are replaced with pure black (#000000) with zero underlying text data.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can someone remove the black boxes to see what was underneath?

No. When MaskMyBody exports your image, the canvas is flattened into a single image layer. The black pixels permanently replace the original pixels, making it mathematically impossible to recover what was underneath.

Why is client-side redaction safer than online tools?

Cloud tools transmit your file over the internet to a remote server. If that server is compromised, misconfigured, or keeps temporary cache files, your ID is exposed. MaskMyBody runs entirely inside your browser; no document data ever travels over the internet.

What details should I redact before sending a rental application?

Common details to redact include full Social Security or Tax ID numbers (leave only the last 4 digits if requested), bank account numbers, signature samples, and passport machine-readable zones (MRZ).

Does this remove phone and camera metadata from document scans?

Yes. All original EXIF camera metadata and location timestamps are completely removed from the exported image.
