How It Works
Processing location depends on the selected tool and mode. Browser-based tools process files locally; advanced image processing may send the selected file to the ZeroMeta processing endpoint. Files are not intended to be stored permanently.
Upload Photo
Select any photo containing faces, vehicle license plates, ID cards, or sensitive documents.
Select Redaction Tool
Choose between Irreversible Gaussian Blur, Pixelate Mosaic, or Solid Blackout Box.
Drag Across Target
Click and drag directly over faces, names, or addresses. The pixels are permanently modified.
Supported File Formats & Capabilities
ZeroMeta validates authentic file binary headers and signatures prior to processing.
| Format | Extension | Inspection / Stripping Scope | Technical Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Images (All Formats) | .jpg, .png, .webp, .tiff | Real-time canvas blur, pixelation, blackout box, metadata purge | Exports metadata-free PNG or JPG with permanent pixel alteration. |
Privacy Considerations
- Redaction occurs directly in your browser's HTML5 Canvas context.
- Modified pixels are permanently altered in memory—no original pixel layer is retained in the exported file.
Technical Boundaries
- •Ensure the entire sensitive area (e.g. all digits of an ID or credit card) is covered by the box.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can blurred faces or license plates be un-blurred by AI?
ZeroMeta uses destructive box blur and mosaic averaging that permanently discards high-frequency pixel data. When combined with black-out mode, the information is completely non-recoverable.
