Text Redactor
Censor or redact words and patterns in text.
About this tool
Text Redactor is a simple tool that censors or masks sensitive information in your text by replacing words or patterns with redaction marks. Whether you're preparing documents for public release, protecting personal data, or removing confidential details before sharing, this tool lets you quickly redact multiple words at once without leaving your browser.
To use the tool, paste your text into the input area and add the words or phrases you want to redact—you can specify exact matches or use simple patterns. Once you've configured your redaction list, the tool instantly hides all matching occurrences with a consistent symbol (usually dark bars or asterisks) and shows you a preview of the redacted result. You can then copy the cleaned text to your clipboard.
Text Redactor is especially useful for legal teams preparing documents for discovery, journalists protecting source information, and anyone who needs to sanitize text before sharing it publicly. Keep in mind that this is a visual redaction tool for presentation purposes—for true data security, you should always use your original unredacted version as the source of truth.
