Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to paste real API keys into this tool?
Yes! This tool runs 100% client-side inside your browser sandbox. Your browser never sends the text across the network.
What format are redacted items replaced with?
Items are replaced with explicit descriptive markers like [REDACTED_API_KEY], [REDACTED_EMAIL], and [REDACTED_IP] so readers know data was sanitized intentionally.
Does it scrub keys inside code blocks?
Yes! It scrubs throughout the entire document, including comments, code blocks, and inline code fences.
