Trained on real-world PII. Reviewed before you save.

OpenAI's privacy-filter is a small, purpose-built model that was trained to recognize the messy ways personal information actually appears in real documents — abbreviations, partial addresses, account numbers split by spaces, names with titles, you name it.

Every detection is shown to you on the page before anything is saved. You see exactly what will be blacked out. If something looks wrong, you can move on without saving — your original file is untouched.

!
No model is perfect.

Even a world-leading model can miss a name in an unusual format, a handwritten note, or text inside a low-quality scan. That's why docscrubber always shows you every detection before you save — review the detections, decide if anything needs a second pass, and only download when you're satisfied.
