Chrome extensionFreeRedact before you paste
PII Remover
Redact emails, phones, names, and other personal details from text before it lands in a chat box or form. On-device Chrome AI, with a pattern-matching fallback. Nothing is sent to a developer server.
On-device AI
When Chrome’s Prompt API is available, redaction uses Gemini Nano (or the current on-device model bundled by Chrome). Prompts stay in the browser.
Pattern fallback
If the model is missing or still downloading, local regular expressions still catch common identifiers such as email, phone, Social Security numbers, payment-card numbers, and IPv4 addresses.
No developer backend
Pasted text is processed in memory on your device. There is no cloud API, account, or paid key.
How it works
Paste with a safety net.
By default, interception is limited to common AI chat sites. The toolbar icon shows a green check when this site is on and a red X when it is paused.
- 01
Install on Chrome 138+
Add the extension on desktop Chrome. Open the popup once so Chrome can download the on-device model in the background if needed.
- 02
Paste on the sites you choose
Automatic paste interception defaults to common AI chat sites. Switch to all sites or a blocklist in Settings. Pause any site from the popup.
- 03
Sanitize in the popup when you want a preview
Paste into the sanitizer, copy the redacted result, or right-click a field and choose “Paste without redacting” for a one-time original paste.
Requirements
Chrome 138 or newer on desktop.
On-device AI needs substantial free disk and either a GPU with more than 4 GB of VRAM or a CPU with 16 GB RAM and 4+ cores. Pattern-only mode still works when the model cannot load.
