Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about RedactText.com
Is my data safe and private?
+Yes, absolutely! RedactText.com processes all text in your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your data never leaves your device and is never transmitted to our servers. We don't store, collect, or have access to any of your text content.
How do I redact text?
+Simply paste your text in the input area, enter the words you want to redact (separated by commas), and click "Redact Text". The tool will replace all instances of those words with █ blocks while preserving the character count.
Can I redact multiple words at once?
+Yes! Enter multiple words or phrases separated by commas in the "Words to Redact" field. For example: "John Smith, john@example.com, (555) 123-4567" will redact all three items.
Is the redaction case-sensitive?
+By default, redaction is case-insensitive. If you enter "john@example.com", it will redact "John@Example.COM", "JOHN@EXAMPLE.COM", and any other case variations. You can change this in the Advanced Options.
What are the Advanced Options?
+Advanced Options let you control how text matching works: "Case insensitive matching" (default: on) makes "John" match "john" or "JOHN", and "Whole word matching only" (default: off) ensures "cat" only matches the word "cat" and not "category" or "scattered".
Can I see the original text after redacting?
+Yes! Use the "Show/Hide Original" toggle button in the output section to switch between the redacted and original text. This helps you verify that the redaction was done correctly.
What browsers are supported?
+RedactText.com works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. It requires JavaScript to be enabled and works on both desktop and mobile devices.
Is RedactText.com free to use?
+Yes, RedactText.com is completely free to use with no limitations, registration required, or hidden costs. We believe privacy tools should be accessible to everyone.
Can I use this for commercial purposes?
+Yes, you can use RedactText.com for any legal purpose, including commercial use. There are no restrictions on how you use the tool or the redacted content you create.
