ID Redactor Free Online — Hide Passport or ID Details | Pixlane

Hide names, birth dates, document numbers, address lines, and MRZ text from ID document scans before sharing them.

ID Redactor is useful when passports, driving licences, and identity cards need to be shared with only limited visible information. It focuses on common identity fields and creates an export where the hidden data is burned into the result instead of left underneath an overlay.

How to Use It

  1. Upload your document image and wait for the local preview to load.
  2. Adjust the settings — Choose which identity fields to hide, set the OCR language and output format, then export the redacted ID image or PDF.
  3. Download the result after the tool renders on your device.

Why People Use ID Redactor

Keep only the ID fields that truly need to be hidden enabled so the export stays readable while still masking the sensitive parts.

Formats and Output

Input: JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC. Output: PDF, PNG, JPG, or WebP. Common ID fields such as names, birth dates, document numbers, address lines, and MRZ rows can be masked in the export.
