Use case
Redact secrets from screenshots for security reviews
Security review screenshots can expose API keys, tokens, internal hosts, and account identifiers. Captorify demonstrates secret redaction, OCR-assisted checks, sharing controls, and the boundary between safer screenshots and formal security evidence.
Capture
Capture the screen under review, including the config panel or log lines that matter.
Redact
Use suggested redaction to surface likely API keys, tokens, and other secrets, then black them out so they are baked out of the exported pixels for good (Pro).
Share
Send a password-protected, expiring share link and revoke access the moment the review wraps up (Pro).
The security screenshot risk
A screenshot taken for a security review can quietly expose API keys, access tokens, internal hostnames, and account identifiers sitting in a config screen, a network panel, or a log. Captorify helps a reviewer find those secrets, remove them permanently from the pixels, and share the result with controls instead of pasting a raw image into a thread.
OCR and pattern checks
Before you mark a capture as safe, you can run local text extraction to read back exactly what the image says, which makes it easier to spot a secret you skimmed past. Text extraction runs on-device in your browser, so the screenshot is not uploaded just to read it (Pro). Suggested redaction matches common secret shapes, including Stripe-style keys, GitHub tokens, AWS access keys, and high-entropy strings, and asks you to confirm before applying.
- OCR and redaction are Pro; free captures stay local and export as PNG, JPG, or PDF.
- Suggested redaction is a review step, so you confirm each match rather than trusting a blind sweep.
- Run OCR after redacting to confirm no secret survived in the readable text.
Sharing controls
When a redacted capture has to reach a reviewer outside your immediate team, a secure share link keeps access scoped instead of emailing a raw file around. The link can carry a password and an expiry date, and you can revoke it the instant the review is closed.
- Optional password protection and an expiry of up to a year on every share link (Pro).
- Immediate revoke and view-count tracking so you know when a link has been opened (Pro).
- Pro and Team cloud captures are encrypted at rest with AES-256.
Limits of Captorify
Captorify makes a screenshot safer to share, but it is not a chain-of-custody tool. Blackout removes the underlying content, while blur and pixelate are baked in yet can in principle be reversible. The output is a cleaned image, not signed or tamper-evident security evidence, so pair it with your own controls when a review demands a formal record.
