Image redaction is the process of permanently removing or obscuring sensitive visual and textual information from images before they are shared, released, or stored. This includes blurring or blacking out faces, license plates, and other identifiable visual elements, as well as redacting text visible within images — such as names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and account numbers captured in photographs of documents, screenshots, scanned records, or whiteboard photos. Image redaction is required in law enforcement (surveillance stills, evidence photos), government (FOIA image releases), healthcare (medical imaging with patient identifiers), legal (photographic evidence), and corporate settings (workplace investigation photos) — anytime an image contains identifiable people or readable sensitive information.
