Redaction

Izly TeamLast updated: 1 min read

What is the difference between redaction and blurring?

A light blur softens an image but does not delete the information; in some cases it can be made legible again. A black rectangle that sits as a layer leaves the information underneath. Permanent redaction changes the pixels. For a detailed comparison see redacting sensitive data in screenshots.
