Blur & Annotate a Screenshot
Point at the bug and hide the secrets. Add boxes, arrows, and pen marks, then blur or black out emails, tokens, and customer data — permanently. Everything runs in your browser, so your screenshot is never uploaded.
Runs entirely in your browser — your image is never uploaded or stored, and redactions are burned into the pixels so they can’t be undone from the saved file.
This tool fixes the symptom. BugScreen fixes the cause.
Editing screenshots by hand before every bug report is busywork. BugScreen’s mobile SDKs capture the screenshot the moment a tester needs it, let them mark it up in-app, and file a complete, reproducible issue to GitHub, Jira, or ClickUp with the device context attached — no manual export required.
Start freeHow it works
Add your screenshot
Upload a file, drag it in, or just paste from your clipboard. It loads straight onto the canvas — no upload, no account.
Annotate and redact
Draw boxes, arrows, and pen strokes to point at the issue. Blur or black-box anything sensitive — the pixels are destroyed, not covered.
Download or copy
Save a flattened PNG or copy it straight to your clipboard, ready to drop into a bug report, ticket, or chat.
Frequently asked questions
How do I blur sensitive information in a screenshot?
Load your image, choose the Redact tool, pick Blur, and drag a box over anything sensitive — an email, an API key, a name. The pixels underneath are averaged into a mosaic so the text can no longer be read. For anything highly sensitive, prefer the Black box, which removes the pixels entirely. Then download the result.
Is the redaction actually permanent, or just a box on top?
It is permanent. Unlike drawing a black rectangle in a document, this tool rewrites the underlying pixels before the image is saved, so the exported PNG contains no hidden layer and no recoverable original beneath the redacted area. There is nothing to peel back.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser using an HTML canvas — the image is never uploaded, logged, or stored. Once the page has loaded it even works offline. That is exactly why it is safe to redact production screenshots with it.
Does downloading strip metadata like location and device info?
Yes, as a side effect. The tool re-encodes the image from the canvas, so EXIF metadata from the original file — GPS location, device model, timestamps — is not carried into the downloaded PNG.
What can I annotate with?
Boxes to highlight an area, arrows to point at the problem, and a freehand pen — each in the colour you choose. Made a mistake? Undo and redo step through your edits before you export.
