Text Censor

Replace chosen words in your text with asterisks or any character. Useful for redacting names, profanity or sensitive terms.

Frequently asked questions

How does the censor choose what to hide?

It replaces whole-word matches of the terms you list, ignoring case. Word boundaries mean 'cat' will not match inside 'category', so only the words you intend are masked.

Can I keep the first letter?

Yes. Tick 'Keep first letter' to turn 'secret' into 's*****' instead of '******', a common style for partially redacting names while keeping them recognisable.

Is my text uploaded?

No. The censoring runs entirely in your browser, so sensitive text never leaves your device.
