Literal text redactor
Replace a supplied list of private terms with a consistent marker.
A clear answer. Here’s how.
Replaces non-overlapping literal matches, prioritising longer supplied alternatives at the same position. Up to 100 terms of 200 characters, a 100-character marker, 100,000 input characters and 2 million output characters. This only removes terms you list, including substrings; it does not discover personal data or guarantee complete anonymisation. Output stays on this device.
