How to protect your identity when uploading ID documents

When applying for rental apartments, remote jobs, or online accounts, services frequently request a photo of your passport, driver's license, or utility bill. Uploading raw uncensored documents exposes you to identity theft if their servers are breached.

Best practices for document redaction

  1. Blackout or Pixelate Sensitive Numbers: Censor your Social Security Number (SSN), national ID number, driver's license number, or passport number (unless specifically required).
  2. Mask Personal Address & Signatures: Block out bank account numbers and signature lines.
  3. Add a Purpose-Specific Watermark: Use our protective watermark mode (e.g. "FOR APARTMENT APPLICATION ONLY - OCT 2026") so bad actors cannot repurpose your document for unauthorized loan applications.

Frequently asked questions

Is the redacted data recoverable?

No. The blackout and mosaic pixels physically overwrite the original image data in browser memory. It is impossible to unmask or reverse.

Is my sensitive document uploaded?

Never. Everything runs 100% locally on your device. We have no servers storing your files.
