About Black Highlighter

Black Highlighter makes it easy to hide text in images you want to share. Black Highlighter’s “Magic Highlighting” feature automatically detects text in images and helps you make nice, even redactions in your photos and screenshots.

App Integrations

Black Highlighter works with your favorite apps to hide text from anywhere.

Shortcuts

Black Highlighter supports the X-Callback-URL scheme to perform actions from within shortcuts built in the Shortcuts app.

Highlight Last Screenshot is an example shortcut that finds the last screenshot that was taken on your iPhone or iPad and opens it in Black Highlighter.
