Redacted Text Overview
Black out content as if censored in a report: █████ ███. Every visible character becomes a solid bar, creating a clean, official redaction look while keeping word lengths and layout believable.
Black out sensitive lines with confidence—each character is replaced by a solid block █ while spaces remain, so length and word breaks stay visible. Examples: Hello → █████, Plot twist → ████ █████, 2025 → ████.
Redacted — full-block mask that preserves silhouette
Letters, digits, and common punctuation map to the same bar █; spaces are left untouched. The result reads like a legal redaction: the structure is there, the content is hidden.
Use for
- Before/after changelogs where details must stay confidential.
- Spoiler-heavy captions, quiz answers, and mystery reveals.
- Mockups of censored documents or privacy-focused UI demos.
How to apply
- Write a brief line (1–20 characters per chunk).
- Generate the redacted version to convert characters → █.
- Optionally add a hint label (e.g., [redacted]) for context.
Craft notes
- Spaces remain as gaps, so counts, cadence, and line breaks are preserved.
- For partial hiding, mask only names, numbers, or the sensitive span.
- Accessibility: include a short plain-text cue for screen readers.
