What Redact Pro is
Redact Pro is a native macOS image editor built around a single, serious job: redacting screenshots. Open a still image, obscure what shouldn't be seen, and export a flattened PNG that's safe to share. No layers to manage, no general-purpose photo suite to wade through — just a sharp, respectful tool for sensitive material.

How Redact Pro complements SoloSnap
SoloSnap creates the pixels. Redact Pro makes them safe to share. Two products, one workflow, the same household.
SoloSnap
The capture and conversion hub. Screenshots, screen recordings, facecam, extensions, converters — everything that produces and transforms screen media on your Mac.
Earlier in the pipeline.
Redact Pro
The sanitization specialist. After capture, when you have pixels but they need to be scrubbed or obscured for disclosure, Redact Pro finishes the job before the file leaves your machine.
Later in the pipeline.
Built for one job. Done well.
Every capability is shaped around the same idea: handle sensitive screenshots, then leave no session behind.
Bring in any still
PNG, JPEG, TIFF, BMP, HEIC. Open from menu, drag-and-drop, paste from clipboard, or open from Finder.
Hide what matters
Blur, pixelate, solid fill, pattern fill, erase area, and brush — with rectangle or oval masks.
Export, baked in
A flattened PNG copy with redactions permanently applied — no hidden layers, nothing recoverable.
Rectangle masks
Crisp geometric coverage for IDs, sidebars, headers, and form fields.
Oval masks
Soft, natural shapes for faces, avatars, and circular badges.
Brush redaction
Free-hand obscuring for the awkward shapes a rectangle can't catch.
Leaves no session
Closing the window clears the loaded image, redactions, and undo history — by design.
