Does RedactifyAI Redact Video?

No. RedactifyAI focuses exclusively on document redaction: PDF, Word, Excel, and scanned image files. Video, audio, face, and license-plate redaction are different problems with different tooling, and we recommend using a dedicated multimedia redaction tool when that is the use case. This page explains why the two categories are different and which tools to consider for video work.

What RedactifyAI redacts

RedactifyAI is built for documents that contain personal, privileged, or confidential text. The product detects PII categories (Social Security numbers, names, dates, financial accounts, medical record numbers, addresses) using AI, applies permanent redaction to the underlying file structure, and produces an output that passes content-stream verification. Native integrations include Clio for legal practice management. Common use cases are court filings, discovery production, HIPAA disclosures, GDPR responses, and FOIA productions.

Why video and audio redaction is a different problem

Video redaction requires frame-by-frame computer vision: detecting faces, license plates, screens, and other visual identifiers across thousands of frames, then applying blur or pixelation that survives compression. Audio redaction requires speaker diarization and content-aware voice masking. The pipelines are unrelated to document content-stream modification, and the tools that do video well are typically built on different ML models entirely. Building both well in one product is a major investment that most SaaS tools split into separate offerings.

Tools to consider for video, audio, or face redaction

Several dedicated tools handle multimedia redaction. Common evaluations include CaseGuard Studio (broad video and audio support), Pimloc Secure Redact (face and license-plate redaction at scale), Veritone Redact (enterprise multimedia for law enforcement), and Brighter AI (deep learning for video face redaction). The right choice depends on volume, compliance requirements (CJIS, GDPR, FOIA video production), and whether you need API integration or a UI workflow.

When RedactifyAI is still the right choice

If your documents include screenshots of video frames or photographs of physical evidence (and the file you need to redact is a PDF or Word doc), RedactifyAI handles the document-level redaction including the embedded images. We do not modify or analyze the underlying video or audio streams.
