Frequently Asked Questions
How is text redaction different from anonymization?
Redaction replaces text with a visible marker (████). Anonymization replaces text with readable tokens like [NAME_1]. Redaction is standard for legal documents.
Is my text sent to a server?
No. All redaction runs locally in your browser. Your text never leaves your device.
Can I choose what gets redacted?
Yes. Select specific PII categories to redact, or target specific text manually.
What format is the output?
The redacted text is displayed in the output area and can be copied or downloaded as a plain text file.
