How It Works

Follow six steps from choosing a photo to saving your copy. Editing takes place in your browser.

1. Take or Choose a Photo
Take a photo or choose one from your device. It is loaded into your browser.
2. Crop
Remove unwanted background. Only the selected area is saved.
3. Cover Personal Details
Cover information you do not want to share. You can also try automatic MRZ detection.
4. Add a Watermark
Show the intended purpose and recipient. Choose colour or black and white.
5. Final Review
Check that your chosen details are covered and the watermark looks right.
6. Save
Save the edited copy to your device as JPG, PNG or PDF.

Key Terms

MRZ (Machine-readable Zone): The letters, numbers and < symbols at the bottom of a passport’s data page. It can contain names, passport numbers and dates of birth. Cover it when the recipient does not need it.
Covering Details: Replacing pixels in a selected area with a solid colour. The original pixels in that area are not retained in the saved file.
Watermark: Text showing the intended purpose and recipient of a copy. It can discourage reuse but does not conceal personal data.
In-browser Processing: Editing the photo directly in your browser without sending it to a server.

Cropping and covering replace image pixels. The original pixels from removed or covered areas are not retained in the saved JPG, PNG or PDF.
Saved files are generated from image pixels, so original EXIF metadata, such as camera model or GPS location, is not carried over.
MRZ detection analyses the image on your device without OCR or an external API.
The editor contains no ads, analytics or external scripts. Its Content Security Policy (CSP) also restricts outgoing requests.

Open your browser’s developer tools and check the Network tab to see whether a photo is sent anywhere.
After the page has fully loaded, disconnect from the internet and try editing your photo.
