How it works

  1. Screenshot the statement

    Use your banking app's built-in 'save as image' or take a screenshot. PDF pages need to be exported as PNG first.

  2. Decide what must stay visible

    For proof of address: name, address, bank name, date. For income verification: also payroll deposits and closing balance.

    Tip: Being specific in the prompt beats generic wording for redact bank statement.

    Copy one of these to get started:

    Proof of address — minimal redaction Redact the account number, balance, and all transaction rows with solid black bars. Keep my name, full address, bank name, and statement date clearly visible.
    Heavy redaction Redact everything except my first name, last initial, and city. Black out street address, account number, balance, every transaction line, and bank branding.
    Visa application Redact all account numbers and transaction details with solid black bars. Keep name, address, bank name, statement period, and the closing balance visible.
    Income verification Keep every deposit marked 'payroll' visible. Redact all other transactions, the account number, and the closing balance with solid black bars.
    2 more prompts
    Expense reimbursement Keep only the specific transaction on [date] for [merchant]. Redact every other line, the account number, and the balance.
    PDF-style black bar Apply rectangular solid-black redaction bars over every number on this statement — account number, routing number, balance, and transaction amounts. Keep text labels but hide numbers.
  3. Prompt the redaction

    'Redact account numbers, balances, and transaction details with solid black bars. Keep [specific visible fields].'

  4. Verify every sensitive field is covered

    Double-check: account numbers gone, balance gone, transaction amounts gone. Solid black — not blurred.

  5. Submit the redacted image

    Upload to the landlord, embassy, or employer. Delete the un-redacted original from your camera roll for safety.

Detailed Guides by Scenario

📷

Proof of Address Uploads

The most common case — uploading a redacted statement to a landlord, bank, or embassy that only needs the address.

Common Scenarios

  • Apartment rental applications requesting a utility bill or bank statement
  • Embassy visa applications needing proof of residence
  • KYC verification for fintech services that accept statements

Best Practices

  • Keep name, full address, bank name, and statement date visible
  • Black-bar everything else — account number, balance, every transaction
  • Use solid black, never blur — blur is not truly irreversible
📷

Income Verification

Verifying income for a mortgage, rental, or loan — you need to show payroll deposits but nothing else.

Common Scenarios

  • Mortgage application underwriting that needs income proof
  • High-end rental application verifying you can afford rent
  • Private student loan applications with income verification

Best Practices

  • Keep every payroll deposit line visible — the dates, amounts, and employer name
  • Redact the account number, every non-payroll transaction, and often the balance
  • For underwriters, 3 months of statements is typical — redact each consistently
📷

Expense Reimbursement

Submitting a single transaction for reimbursement — you only need that one line visible.

Common Scenarios

  • Corporate expense reimbursement where only the relevant transaction matters
  • Insurance claim substantiation with one specific charge
  • Tax documentation of a single business expense

Best Practices

  • Keep only the specific transaction visible — date, merchant, and amount
  • Redact everything else: account number, all other transactions, and the balance
  • Keep the bank header visible so the source of the transaction is clear

If something looks off

AI changed the wrong area

Why: The AI couldn't determine exactly which area you meant from the description alone.

Try: Tap a marker on the specific area you want to edit, then regenerate with the same prompt

Tip: Markers tell the AI exactly where to focus. Use them when description alone is ambiguous.

Result looks unnatural or blurry

Why: The AI may need more specific guidance about the look you want.

Try: Redact the sensitive financial information on this bank statement while keeping the name and address visible, ensure natural lighting and sharp details that match the rest of the photo

Tip: Adding 'natural' and 'realistic' to your prompt helps the AI prioritize believability.

Something important got removed or changed

Why: Without naming what to preserve, the AI may over-edit.

Try: Add 'keep [list of things you want preserved]' to the end of your prompt

Tip: Naming what stays is as important as naming what changes.

Result is too subtle

Why: The AI defaulted to a conservative edit.

Try: Add 'strong' or 'bold' or 'more pronounced' to the prompt and regenerate

Tip: Strength descriptors guide the AI's intensity — use them when subtle isn't working.

Result is too aggressive

Why: The prompt may read as more dramatic than intended.

Try: Add 'subtle' or 'natural' and regenerate

Tip: If in doubt, subtle reads more professional than dramatic.

Quick answers

Is it safe to submit a redacted bank statement?

Yes — redaction is the standard practice for proof-of-address and income verification. Always use solid black bars, not blur, because blur can sometimes be reversed.

What should I NOT redact?

For proof of address: keep your full name, full address, bank name, and statement date. For income verification: also keep payroll deposits and (usually) the closing balance.

Is blur safe enough?

No. Blurred text can sometimes be deblurred. Pixelation can be un-pixelated with AI. Only solid opaque bars (black or white) are truly irreversible.

Can I redact a PDF?

EditThisPic works on images. Screenshot the PDF page or export it as a PNG, then redact. Save the redacted image — don't re-export to PDF if you want the redaction to be permanent.

Will it also hide my bank branding?

By default no — bank logos stay visible so the statement is still identifiable as genuine. Ask to 'also redact the bank logo' if you want even that hidden.

Can I redact multiple pages?

One image at a time. Screenshot each page individually and redact in sequence.

What about signatures or handwriting?

Name handwritten elements in the prompt — 'redact the handwritten signature at the bottom' — or they may be treated as part of the layout.

Is it legal to redact before submission?

Yes. Redacting sensitive info is the expected practice. Landlords, embassies, and employers all accept redacted statements as long as the required fields are visible.

Does it store my bank statement?

The image is processed for the edit and deleted shortly after. See our privacy policy. For maximum caution, delete the result from your device once you've submitted it.

What photo formats work?

JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC, and screenshots. PDF pages need to be exported as images first.

Is it free?

Yes. First edit each week free. Packs of 3 edits for $1.99 if you need to redact multiple statements.

Does the black bar look professional?

Yes. Solid black bars match the style used by banks, law firms, and government agencies. It's the standard redaction look.
