Redact a screenshot — hide sensitive details before sharing
To redact a screenshot, turn on Smart Redact and capture the page. The free preview finds potential sensitive details but does not blur them. Start the Pro trial to blur those detections on the same capture, then review or restore each one in the built-in editor. Everything stays on your machine, so a private capture never has to leave your browser to be cleaned up.
How do I hide sensitive information in a screenshot?
Capture the page as usual. Smart Redact flags potential sensitive details in a free preview; Pro blurs them for review before the file is saved — so you don't have to scan a long page line by line hoping you caught everything.
Every redaction is yours to check. Open the capture in Rendry's editor, review each hidden detail, and undo or restore anything that was hidden by mistake — or hidden something it missed — before you export.
How do I redact a screenshot before sending it to support?
This is the everyday case: you want to show a support agent or a colleague exactly what you're seeing, without handing over a stray account number or email address sitting elsewhere on the page. Capture, let Smart Redact do the first pass, glance over the review, and export a clean PNG, JPEG, or PDF to attach.
Because it runs before you save, you're never circulating an unredacted original and hoping nobody opens the wrong copy. The version you send is the version that was already cleaned up.
Does the hidden information stay hidden after I export?
Yes. Once you're happy with the review and export the file, the hidden details are baked into the saved image — they don't reappear when someone opens the PNG, JPEG, or PDF elsewhere.
We don't claim a redacted screenshot is legally admissible or tamper-proof — it's a practical way to share a page without exposing details you'd rather keep private. For sensitive records, keep your own unredacted original somewhere safe and share the cleaned copy.
Can I keep a clean PDF record of a page for my archive?
Yes. Rendry captures the whole page — including content below the fold — and full-page PDF export is free, so you can keep a tidy, single-file record of how a page looked on a given day.
Pair it with Smart Redact when the page holds details you don't want in your archive, and you get a clean record you can file or forward without a second clean-up pass.

Frequently asked questions
Is screenshot redaction free in Rendry?
Full-page capture as PNG, JPEG, or PDF is free. Smart Redact detection is free and shows an unblurred preview. A no-card 7-day Pro trial blurs the detected details on that same capture so you can review or restore each match before export. Pro is $2/month or $20/year after the trial.
Does redacting a screenshot send my page anywhere?
No. Capture, redaction, and review all happen in your browser, and your screenshots never leave your machine. The only network request Rendry ever makes is a licence check that confirms your subscription status — it never includes your page content or any captured image.
What if Smart Redact hides the wrong thing, or misses something?
You stay in control. Every redaction is shown for review in the editor before you export, so you can undo anything hidden by mistake or hide something it missed. Nothing is final until you save, and the saved file reflects exactly the choices you confirmed.
Can I redact a screenshot and still keep the original?
Yes. The redaction is applied to the file you export, so keep your own unredacted capture somewhere safe and share only the cleaned copy. Rendry doesn't claim a redacted image is tamper-proof or legally admissible — it's a fast, private way to share a page safely.
Which browsers can I redact screenshots in?
Rendry works across Chromium browsers including Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, Arc, and Comet. The capture, redaction, and editor experience is the same in each, so you can clean up and share a screenshot the same way whichever one you use day to day.
