What happens at export

Save a redacted copy.

Cloakshot saves a new PNG and leaves the original alone. Before sharing from the main app, it checks the masks and metadata changes you selected.

Scan

Look for private details

The scan can flag API keys, passwords, contact details, account IDs, faces, QR codes, GPS, and EXIF metadata.

Edit

Choose what to hide

Turn suggestions on or off. Select a few characters, move or resize a mask, or draw your own. Use blur or a solid fill.

Render

Write masks into the image

Cloakshot writes your masks into the PNG itself, so they are not separate editing layers.

Verify

Scan the copy again

The main app checks the selected masks and metadata changes, then scans the copy for remaining high-risk details. It can still miss things, so check the result yourself.

Scanning is free. Export needs a trial or Pro.

You can scan, review, and edit masks without paying or creating an account. To save or share a redacted copy, you need an active trial or Cloakshot Pro Lifetime.

Try the editor for free

Open an image, see what the scan finds, and edit the masks before you decide whether to buy Pro. You can also inspect the photo metadata.

Try exports for 14 days

Check the Cloakshot Pro screen for trial availability on your device. Eligible iOS and Android devices can start a free 14-day trial after an online device check. You don't enter payment details, and it doesn't renew automatically. When the trial ends, you can buy Pro Lifetime once to keep exporting.

Before you download

How image processing and Pro access work.

Does Cloakshot upload my images?

No. Cloakshot does not upload images or scan results. Scanning, editing, and redaction happen on your device. If you choose to share a copy, the destination app handles it under its own policy. Other network activity is described in the Privacy Policy.

Can automatic detection miss private information?

Yes. It can miss something or mark the wrong area. Review the whole image and add a manual mask when needed.

What can I do for free?

You can scan an image, check the suggestions, edit masks, and inspect metadata for free. Saving or sharing a redacted copy needs an active trial or Pro Lifetime. The free tools still work after your trial ends.

Does Cloakshot work offline?

Scanning and redaction run on your device. You'll need internet access to start or restore a trial, buy Pro, or restore a purchase. Android's scanning SDK may send diagnostic and usage metrics to Google, but it doesn't send images or scan results. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Is Cloakshot a subscription?

No. Cloakshot Pro Lifetime is a one-time purchase. You can still scan and review images without Pro.

Is the 14-day trial available on Android?

Yes, on eligible devices. Check the Cloakshot Pro screen to see if your device can start the 14-day trial. It needs an online device check, but no account or payment details. It doesn't renew automatically. After it ends, scanning and editing stay free; you can buy Pro Lifetime separately to keep exporting.
