A screenshot of a W-2, tax portal or benefits page can hand a stranger everything they need to steal an identity. Auto-Redact spots the US Social Security pattern — ddd-dd-dddd — and blurs it in your browser, so the number never leaves your device.
Auto-Redact handles the number itself automatically — and you cover the personal details around it that make it dangerous.
Auto-Redact matches nine digits written as ddd-dd-dddd — with dashes or spaces — the exact shape printed on W-2s, 1099s and benefits statements.
Tax and payroll screenshots rarely carry an SSN alone. Emails, phone numbers, IBANs and payment card numbers on the page are caught in the same pass.
A name and DOB next to an SSN are what make it usable for identity theft, but they're not a fixed pattern. Drag a box over them yourself to be safe.
Auto-Redact is a strong first pass, not a guarantee. If a number is handwritten, low-contrast or oddly formatted, cover it manually before you share.
Paste a grab of your W-2, tax portal, benefits dashboard or DMV page from the clipboard, or drag the file in. Nothing is uploaded.
One click reads the image and blurs any ddd-dd-dddd Social Security number it finds. Then drag a box over the name, DOB or anything else.
Download a clean PNG, JPG or WEBP with the blur baked in — no hidden layer underneath to recover the number, up to 4x on Pro.
A Social Security number is a permanent key — you can freeze a stolen card, but you can't reissue your SSN in an afternoon. Paired with a name and date of birth from the same W-2 or benefits page, it's enough to open credit, file a fraudulent tax return or take over an account. A screenshot dropped into a group chat or forwarded email is exactly how that leaks.
Auto-Redact reads the image in your browser and blurs the ddd-dd-dddd pattern automatically — a strong first pass, not a guarantee. Give the result a quick look, drag a box over the name and DOB, and every redaction is baked into the export with no hidden layer to peel back. Snapframe makes no compliance claim; it just keeps the image on your device.
On-device by design, permanent by default, and honest about what it is and isn't.
The image is read and blurred locally on your device — a screenshot of a W-2 or benefits page is never uploaded to a server. There's nothing to leak in transit and nothing stored to delete.
The redaction is flattened into the exported image. There's no hidden original layer with the SSN still under it — unlike a black rectangle dropped on top in some editors that can be moved aside.
Snapframe isn't a compliance product and claims no certification. It simply helps you cover a Social Security number before you send a screenshot to a coworker, family member or support agent.
What Auto-Redact catches, what you cover yourself, and what happens to the file.
Open the Snapframe editor, drop in your screenshot, and click Auto-Redact. It reads the image and blurs any Social Security number written as ddd-dd-dddd (dashes or spaces). Cover the name and date of birth beside it by dragging a box. Redacting and exporting is free; Pro ($24.99 once) removes a small watermark and unlocks 2x and 4x export.
No. The image is read and the blur is applied in your browser, on your own device. A screenshot of a W-2, tax portal or benefits page is never uploaded to a server — nothing leaves your machine.
No. The blur is baked into the exported PNG, JPG or WEBP — there's no hidden layer with the original digits still underneath, so the number is gone from the file you share. Always double-check the export before sending.
Yes. A Social Security number becomes dangerous when it's paired with a name and date of birth, which is what enables identity theft. Auto-Redact detects the SSN pattern automatically; drag a box over the name, DOB and address yourself, since those aren't a fixed pattern.
No. Snapframe makes no HIPAA, PCI or other certification claim and this isn't legal advice. It's a fast way to cover a Social Security number in an image before you share it — the privacy guarantee is simply that the screenshot stays in your browser and the blur is permanent.
