Screenshot Scrubber, answered

Is pixelating a screenshot reversible?
Pixelate and solid bars replace the pixels for good and cannot be undone by a viewer. Blur is opt-in and flagged as only partly reversible, so use pixelate or a bar for anything sensitive.
Does the scrubbed screenshot still carry metadata?
No. Metadata is stripped on export, so no EXIF, GPS or hidden tags ride along with the image.
Can I redact a batch of screenshots the same way?
Yes. Draw the boxes once on one shot, then apply exactly the same boxes across a set of same-size screenshots and export a ZIP.
Are screenshots uploaded?
No. Everything runs inside your browser tab on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded and there is no server to send it to, so nothing is stored anywhere but your device.
