How to quickly redact screenshots

— 1 minute read

Quickly redacting and editing screenshots is now easier than ever. ​

On Windows, I used SnagIt for editing screenshots and on Mac I get by with the default editing tools from Preview. What I missed on Mac though is an easy way to blur parts of an image, for security reasons for example.

My brilliant colleague Thibault pointed me towards edit.photo, a photo editor that lives in your browser, doesn't require an account, without any ads nor tracking. Almost sounds too good to be true.

Blurring parts of an image is easy peasy, simply drag and drop your image in the web app, select Redact and mark the part you want blurred.
