Capture & edit

Redact sensitive information in screenshots

Use Lumshot’s screenshot redaction tool to detect private details locally, review the findings and apply protection before sharing. Smart Redaction requires Pro.

What Smart Redaction detects

Smart Redaction can detect email addresses, phone numbers, credit card information, API keys, and sensitive text.

Review, then apply

  1. Capture your screenshot.
  2. Open the redaction tools.
  3. Review the detected information and check the rest of the image.
  4. Apply protection before you share.

Local processing

Detection runs on your device. Your screenshot is not uploaded for processing. Always review the result before sending it to someone else.

Review the whole screenshot, not only detected text

Check credentials, customer information, notifications and background windows before sending an image. Detection can miss information, and a protected area may still leave identifying context elsewhere in the capture. Inspect the full result after applying protection.

Use the screenshot editor’s blur and markup tools where appropriate, or choose a narrower capture area. Do not treat an automated finding as a guarantee that the screenshot is safe to share.

Sharing protected screenshots

Move the reviewed image through the clipboard, drag-and-drop or export workflow. For a Jira issue or an AI conversation, the selected third-party service receives the content you send. Local redaction does not change that sharing boundary.

Put this workflow to work.

Lumshot is available for Windows and macOS. Start with Free capture and annotation; compare Pro for the advanced tools.
