What's hiding in your photos
Every photo you take quietly stores extra details about you. Here's what a typical phone photo gives away — and what StripPii removes.

What this photo gives away
This is just a demo. StripPii works on your real files, right on your device.
Automatic
Spots personal info for you.
Drop in a file and StripPii instantly finds the private bits — names, ID numbers, phone numbers, addresses, card numbers and more — and blacks them out. No hunting through pages yourself.
Works everywhere
Built for documents from anywhere.
Whether it's an ID from India or paperwork from anywhere else in the world, StripPii recognises the personal details that matter. You can also tell it your own words or phrases to always hide.
Photos
Clean the secrets out of your photos.
Photos quietly remember where you took them, what device you used, and when. Before you post or send, StripPii strips all of that out — and can even black out faces.
Word files
Word files hold secrets too.
A Word document remembers who edited it, every change that was made, and any comments left behind. StripPii clears all of that away so you only share what you meant to.
Many at once
A whole folder in one go.
Got a stack of files? StripPii can clean them all together, show you everything it found in one place, and save safe-to-share copies in a single step.
How it works
Four simple steps
Add your file
Drop in a PDF, photo, Word file or text file — or snap a paper document with your camera.
It finds the private bits
StripPii scans the file and highlights the personal details it found — names, ID numbers, addresses and more.
You have the final say
Glance over what it found. Keep it, skip it, or black out anything extra yourself. You stay in control.
Save a safe-to-share copy
Export a clean version with the private parts permanently blacked out. Your original file is never touched.
Thorough
It catches what
you'd miss.
Most tools do one simple check. StripPii looks for private information in several different ways at once — and keeps false alarms low, even on busy forms.
Reads the labels
When it sees "Name:", "Date of birth:" or "Account number:", it knows the details right after them are personal — and hides them.
Knows ID formats
It recognises the shape of ID cards, passports, bank and card numbers from India and around the world — even without a label.
Finds names in sentences
People and places written in the middle of a paragraph get caught too, not just the obvious fields.
Blacks out faces
Faces in photos and scanned pages are detected and covered, so people can stay anonymous.
Remembers your choices
Tell it a name or word is private once, and it hides that same thing automatically next time.
Smart detection for tricky casesPro
On newer devices, an extra layer catches the hard-to-spot details that simpler checks miss — all still on your device.
