How to use ID Redaction + OCR
Need to share an ID photo without exposing sensitive details? This tool blurs likely personal identifiers before running OCR, giving you a privacy-safe transcript plus a downloadable redacted image for audits or quick reviews. Pattern detection homes in on emails, phone numbers, and SSN-style strings while preserving the remaining context so teams can review documents quickly without exposing regulated data.
- Upload a scan or photo of the ID or document that contains sensitive numbers.
- Wait while the worker detects rows containing emails, phone numbers, or SSN-style patterns and applies on-canvas blurs.
- Preview the redacted image, confirm the blurred sections look correct, and read through the sanitized OCR text.
- Download the redacted JPG or copy the scrubbed transcript to share with stakeholders.
Always verify redactions before sending documents outside your team. This workflow is a speedy assist, not a substitute for compliance review. Pair the redacted download with your document retention policy so you can prove sensitive fields were masked before sharing.
