Blur or redact a screenshot — and it survives the crop.

Hide tokens, faces and emails with pixelate or blur. The redaction is rotation-aware and stays locked to the right spot even after you crop or rotate the image — all on-device, nothing uploaded.

Redaction that doesn't break

Most tools let you draw a blur box — then it drifts, or disappears, the moment you crop the image later. ShotsGlow re-maps every censor region to the cropped coordinates, so a redaction you placed stays exactly where you put it. You can pixelate or blur, never a removable blackout.

Built for sensitive screenshots

  • Per-region blur or pixelate
  • Rotation-aware, and survives a later crop or rotate
  • Move, resize, duplicate or delete each region
  • Runs on-device — confidential screenshots are never uploaded

Honest scope

Windows 11's Snipping Tool added basic redaction, so this is table-stakes done properly: the difference is that it survives edits and lives in the same app as capture, backdrops and on-device AI cutout.

Questions

Blur or pixelate?

Both. You can pixelate or blur each region — there is no flat blackout box that someone can simply remove.

Does the redaction survive a crop?

Yes. Each censor region is rotation-aware and re-maps to the new coordinates when you crop or rotate, so it stays locked over the right area.

Is it private?

Yes — redaction runs on your machine. Confidential screenshots are never uploaded to a server.

Can I redact API keys, emails and faces?

Yes. Drag a box over anything sensitive — tokens, credentials, emails, faces — and resize, move or duplicate the regions as needed.
