Mask Photos and Screenshots
Clean up phone numbers, names and addresses in a screenshot or photo before you post it.
Text in the image is found automatically,
and masked areas are saved with the pixels themselves changed, so they can't be recovered.

When you need this
Marketplace proof-of-payment shots
A payment receipt or shipping label with a name, address and phone number on it.
Mask everything except what the deal actually needs before you post it.
Work screenshots
A screenshot for a bug report or a manual can carry a customer's name,
an employee ID or an internal URL — clean it up before you share it.
Photos attached to a complaint or review
When you attach a photo of a receipt or a claim form,
keep the proof and remove the personal information it doesn't need to show.
Blurring reduces information. It doesn't remove it.
A blur or mosaic leaves some of the original brightness and color information in place,
and research has continued to explore recovery attempts under the right resolution and conditions.
Garimi covers the area completely, leaving no original pixel information behind.
If you're going to mask something, mask it so it stays masked.
How to mask a photo
Four steps, start to finish.
- Step 1
Open the image
Open a PNG, JPEG or WebP file in File mode in the workspace.
Everything happens inside your browser — nothing is uploaded. - Step 2
Review what was found
Text in the image is read inside your browser,
and candidates like phone numbers and emails are flagged. - Step 3
Drag to add more
Faces, signatures and logos are not text — drag over them to mask them yourself.
- Step 4
Save
Masked areas are saved with the pixels themselves changed,
so no tool can recover what was underneath.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from a blur or a mosaic?
Blurring and mosaicking leave some of the original brightness and color information behind, and research has explored recovery attempts under certain conditions.
Garimi covers the area completely, leaving no original pixel information behind.
Is my photo uploaded to a server?
No. Opening, reading text, masking and saving all happen inside your browser.
The photo is never sent to any server.
Does it catch handwriting or blurry text too?
Clear, printed text is found reliably; handwriting and low-resolution text can be missed.
Automatic detection is a helper, not a guarantee — check the result yourself before saving and add anything it missed by dragging.
What happens to the original photo?
The original file is left untouched — a masked copy is saved separately.
Managing the original (deleting or keeping it) is up to you.
