Security Image Redactor is a privacy-focused tool that automatically detects and redacts sensitive information in images. It is designed to help individuals and organizations protect personal or confidential data before sharing images, ensuring privacy and compliance.
The original goal was to use this tool as an FTP proxy to automatically intercept uploaded images, redact sensitive information, and upload the cleaned images. This would be especially useful when sharing images with LLMs or on social media platforms. (While this approach is experimental, it represents the intended end goal.)
