Share your images, not your secrets. Black Highlighter makes it ridiculously easy to hide sensitive information in your photos and screenshots. Just swipe over text with the Magic Highlighter, and it automatically snaps to cover everything perfectly—no more frantic scribbling or worrying if you missed a spot. Make redaction feel like magic. The Magic Highlighter automatically detects and snaps to text, making it easy to hide exactly what you want—nothing more, nothing less. Use multiple colors to match different backgrounds or indicate multiple speakers. Easily import images from Photos and share them immediately when you're done. Available for iPhone, iPad, and Mac, so you can redact no matter where you are. Work smarter, not harder. Want even more power? Ultra Highlighter unlocks automatic detection of sensitive information like names, addresses, and phone numbers. You can also add your own set of words to always redact automatically. Create custom Shortcuts to automate your redactions by automatically hiding personal details in screenshots instead of doing each one by hand. Use the document scanner to import and redact paper files using the power of the Magic Highlighter. Black Highlighter is provided under a standard EULA.

Es la mejor aplicación que existe para ocultar texto ya que cumple su función, es gratuita y no exporta las imágenes con marca de agua. 5/5. No obstante, sería interesante que añadieran alguna herramienta más como el efecto pixelado o el subrayado para hacerla más completa. Imprescindible.

This app is pretty useful sometimes. But one-time payment is too high! If you could make me at least twice or triple lower - I bet you will get more purchases. I’m using this app several times a year, when I saw ability to purchase I just wanted to support developer. But I found the price is too high for just support((( I know it’s free and it’s awesome, but let people support you. Sometime I’m buying small apps even if I don’t use it regularly, just to reward devs

‼️ Please correct the date of the file. I always have the old date corrected to 2024 and then it's hard to search the gallery.

Great for quickly covering sensitive information and PII. Also good for focusing attention on what you want people to see.

Apart from occasional crashes, the app works well. However, I’m missing the following features: 1) Import of PDF files 2) Automatic blackening of all automatically recognized text fields (even better: with an option to manually exclude some text fields) with one click I hope, these features will come up one day :)

Cumple la app con su cometido, es fácil de entender y de usar. Aún que me gustaría que agregaran 2 cosas: Que esté en español y que también nos dieran la opción de en lugar de subrayar, se pudiera despixelear o difuminar el texto seleccionado, eso sería genial.

Black Highlighter 2025.6 cleans up a few things: - Sharing an image to Black Highlighter on iOS and iPadOS opens the image instead of just launching the app. - Menu items on iPadOS and have been renamed and given icons to help find what you need.

Black Highlighter 2025.5 builds in support for Apple's September 2025 releases with a whole bunch of new features: ## Liquid Glass Design Black Highlighter fully embraces the Liquid Glass design aesthetic of iOS and iPadOS 26. Liquid Glass has been fully baked into all parts of Black Highlighter, with many design improvements throughout the app. ## Recognize Text Shortcuts Action A new Shortcuts action, "Recognize Text", finds and returns all text in an image. Use this action alongside the new system "Use Model" action to safely use AI models to help with redaction. ## Open Recent on iPad The iPad version of Black Highlighter supports opening recent files and images, directly from the home screen.
