Solid fill is more secure. Blur and pixelate can sometimes be reversed.

How do I safely hide sensitive information in images?

Draw solid boxes over content you want to hide in screenshots and images. Unlike blur or pixelation, a solid fill replaces the original pixel data with a single color. There is nothing left to reverse.

Why solid redaction, not blur

Blurred and pixelated text looks hidden, but the underlying patterns are still there. Security researchers have published depixelation tools, including Depix and Bishop Fox's Unredacter, that recover readable text from pixelated screenshots. Solid fills destroy the pixel data on the canvas. No algorithm can recover what no longer exists.

Why redact locally

Images with sensitive data are the worst candidates for uploading to a free online tool. You are sending the exact information you are trying to hide to a server you do not control. Redacting in the browser means the image stays on your device the entire time. No upload, no copy on someone else's server, no exposure window.
