Your photo is telling
people your name, number
and where you live.

SnapHide reads the image, finds the things that identify you — ID numbers, phone numbers, faces, number plates, GPS coordinates — and removes them permanently. It runs entirely on your computer. Nothing is uploaded. There is no server to trust.

This is what one photo of an ID card gives away.
SnapHide reads the text in the image, checks each number against the real validation rules, and shows you what it found before it changes anything. Hover any black bar to reveal it.

| Mobile number | High | 98765 43210 | Black box |

Most redaction tools don't actually redact.
Blur can be undone
A Gaussian blur is a reversible mathematical operation. If the radius is known — and it usually is — the original can be reconstructed.
Pixelation can be undone
Pixelation is brute-forceable. Render every candidate string, pixelate it the same way, compare. Published attacks recover pixelated text reliably.
The original stays inside
Many editors leave an un-redacted copy in the file's hidden thumbnail data. The black bars are on the picture, not in the file.

to scan a photo. Batch mode handles hundreds at once.
Everything you need to make a photo safe to share.
Reads Indian IDs
Aadhaar, PAN, GSTIN, passport, bank account and UPI — found and validated, not just pattern-matched. A random 12-digit number is not mistaken for an Aadhaar.
Faces, every angle
Front, profile, tilted, masked, small or in poor light. Replaces the old frontal-only detector entirely.
Contact & vehicles
Mobile numbers, emails, OTP codes, payment cards checked with Luhn, and Indian number plates across every state.
Four ways, honestly labelled
Black box and noise are permanent. Blur and pixelate are reversible — and SnapHide is the only tool that warns you before you save one.
Strips hidden data
Location, device, timestamp and the embedded thumbnail that can still hold the original un-redacted image. Gone on every export.
Never leaves your PC
Every model runs on your machine. No upload, no account, no server. Unplug the internet and it all still works.
Built for people who share photos for a living.
Property listings
Bills, nameplates, documents and faces sitting in the background of your listing photos. Clean 200 photos before they go on the portal.
KYC and case documents
Redact Aadhaar, PAN, GSTIN, IFSC and account numbers from scans before they leave your desk — without the file ever touching a cloud service.
Screenshots
Customer screenshots carry OTPs, emails and account numbers. Press a hotkey, capture, auto-redact, paste.
