Redact a screenshot — hide sensitive details before sharing

To redact a screenshot, capture the page with Rendry and let Smart Redact hide sensitive details automatically before you save — then review, undo, or restore any of them 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, and Smart Redact (Pro) flags and hides sensitive details for you 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 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 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.

Who it's for

Frequently asked questions

Is screenshot redaction free in Rendry?

Full-page capture and free PDF export are free, so you can always keep a clean record. Smart Redact — the automatic hiding of sensitive details with review, undo, and restore — is a Pro feature at $2/month, and there's a 7-day free trial so you can test it on a real page first.

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.
