Select File > Save As and save the image in a flattened format such as JPEG, PNG, GIF, or PDF for sharing.
Note: Smart Redact leverages AI technology, specifically ABBYY and OpenCV Classifier on Windows and Apple OCR and Apple Person Selection on Mac, to identify common patterns of sensitive information in text and images. Neither the image nor the sensitive information in the image is uploaded to TechSmith or to any service provider, so your data remains secure. For more information, see TechSmith and AI.
Option 2: Blur Individual Items
Blur or pixelate part of an image, such as a profile picture or license plate, to quickly hide identifiable details.
Click the Blur tool in the Snagit Editor toolbar, or from the More dropdown in the toolbar.
In the Tool Properties, select the blur Type and Shape.
Note: Some third-party tools can reverse blur and pixelation. Secure confidential information by selecting the Black shapes option from the Type dropdown.
Click and drag on the canvas to draw the blur.
Drag the slider to adjust the intensity.
When you are finished with the Blur tool, click the Move tool to select, move, edit, or delete objects you added to your image.
Replace text with made-up information to protect sensitive information in an example image.
Click the Move tool in the Snagit Editor toolbar, or from the More dropdown in the toolbar.
Complete one of the following:
Windows: In the Tool Properties panel, enable Smart Move.
Mac: In the Actions panel, click Smart Move.
Snagit identifies objects in the image. When you hover your cursor over editable objects, selection handles appear. Optional: Drag the Detail slider to adjust the granularity of objects Snagit identifies.
Double-click on the information you want to change and enter the new text in the text box.
When finished, click away from the text box.
Note: Smart Move leverages OpenCV AI technology to identify editable objects in an image. This runs locally in Snagit on your computer. Neither the image nor information used to identify editable objects is uploaded to TechSmith or to any service provider, so your data remains secure. For more information, see TechSmith and AI.
