Track 02 · Redact· Privacy

Nothing leaves
until you say it can.

Blur, blackout, or mosaic any region — or let an AI first-pass sweep the screenshot for emails, phones, names, IDs, cards, and faces. Redactions are baked into the exported pixels, not just hidden in the canvas.

Three masks. One canvas. Pick the one that fits the handoff.

Different sharing contexts call for different masks. All three are wired into the canvas overlay — switch styles in one click without losing your selection. Hover any specimen to peek at the source.

Section 04 · Workflow

Three stations. One case file.

Privacy handling is part of the canvas, not a detour. Inspect, mask, then continue into the rest of the screenshot job — without opening a second tool or rebuilding a safe version of the asset.

Station 01 · Inspectforensic case file

Open the source. Decide your masking approach.

Drop the screenshot into Fyboard Shot. Decide whether a manual sweep is enough or whether the AI first-pass should run before you commit to anything.

Apply masks. Adjust regions until it's truly safe to share.

Mix blur, blackout, and mosaic across one canvas. Tweak any region the AI missed or over-flagged. Everything stays editable until you commit to export.

Keep going. Frames, annotations, store sizes — same project.

The redacted version flows straight into the rest of Fyboard Shot. Annotate it, wrap it in a device frame, fan it out for store sizes, share the link. No second tool, no re-opening.

Section 05 · The pixel promise· ready

Baked into pixels.
Not hidden in the canvas.

When Fyboard Shot exports, masked regions are written into the output bitmap. There’s no hidden layer to flip back, no metadata to peek at. Run the loupe over both canvases, then OCR the export — you won’t find what was masked.

Section 06 · Incident reports

Four case files, four sensitive surfaces.

The privacy-sensitive surfaces Fyboard Shot already speaks to — escalations, audit evidence, design review, marketing reuse. Every report below was closed without a second cleanup tool.

Section 07 · Field notebook

The questions a careful inspector actually asks.

Pulled from the inspector’s field notebook. Each note has a short answer, a verified stamp, and the page number it was filed under. Nothing here is hidden in fine print.

Question

Does redaction actually remove the original data from the export?

Inspector’s note

Yes. Once the redaction is applied and exported, the affected pixels are replaced in the output image. You are not merely hiding a layer in the UI.

02.field note · pg. 16
ref · 2402
Question

What is the difference between blur, blackout, and mosaic?

Inspector’s note

Blur softens the region, blackout fully covers it, and mosaic pixelates it. Which one fits best depends on whether you need absolute removal, visual context, or a clear intentional mask.

03.field note · pg. 18
ref · 2403
Question

Do I have to use AI to redact screenshots?

Inspector’s note

No. Manual redaction modes are built directly into the local editor. AI is optional and useful when you want a faster first pass over likely PII regions.

04.field note · pg. 20
ref · 2404
Question

Can I still annotate or frame the screenshot after redacting it?

Inspector’s note

Yes. Redaction lives inside the same workspace as annotation, frames, templates, store-size presets, and exports.
