Features & Capabilities

Share photos without worrying about sensitive data being seen. Add masks to securely protect identities. These and other features like metadata removal, layer flattening, and anonymous filenames let you share images on your terms, not theirs.

Face Masking Features • Optional: Automatic masking / Manual masking / No masking • Built in Mask Editor: • Add and remove masks • Precision edits to the mask size and position • Change each mask's shape and style

Automatic face detection is done privately on-device using two different face detection algorithms with combined results for better coverage.

Automatic privacy features • Removes tracking metadata - including date, time, location information (GPS coordinates), camera settings, equipment, operating system, editing software and more. • Simplifies the filename to a two digit number like "01.jpg" (to help prevent source tracing) • Flattens PSD files • Removes hidden TIFF files • Removes video from Live Photo

These all help prevent unwarranted data mining and reduce the data available for digital fingerprinting. The results can be viewed in the Discretion photo Privacy Report within the app.

Sharing Discretion is ideal for sharing privacy enhanced photos to social media. You are not limited to social media sites though! The Discretion app uses the standard share sheet, so you can do anything you can normally do with an image file.

Other features • Supports Light / Dark mode • Dynamic text resizing • No watermark • Emoji Mask (standard smilie only! see Complete Discretion for more information) • iPad - split screen • iPad - hardware keyboard support • iPad - drag and drop support

  • Complete Discretion *

User Reviews

I love how easy and quick this app is to use, but I found that it only works best when a face is super well defined and prominent in the image If someone is in the background, or they’re turned away somewhat, Discretion tends to miss them. Same for difficult lighting conditions I think an option for an even more sensitive face detection program would be nice even if it increases “false positives” and puts censors where no one is there. I’d rather have an overzealous program that catches everyone (and more!) than one that’s a bit conservative and doesn’t obscure everyone properly Thank you for all the hard work you do! You’re working on something that’s way more valuable than you think
