🛡️ AutoRedact - Keep Your Images Private Effortlessly

AutoRedact is a client-side image redaction tool designed to protect your privacy. This tool automatically finds and blurs personally identifiable information (PII) such as emails, IP addresses, and keys using local optical character recognition (OCR). Unlike many other tools, AutoRedact works entirely on your device, meaning your data stays safe and sound.
