Frequently Asked Questions

What is text masking and why is it important?

Text masking partially hides sensitive information while keeping it readable enough for context. It's crucial for privacy protection in screenshots, documentation, and sharing examples without revealing personal data.

How does the masking preserve data structure?

The tool maintains original text length and spacing, replacing only specific characters with mask symbols. This preserves visual structure and data patterns while protecting sensitive content.

Can I customize which characters to mask?

Yes, you can choose from various mask styles (partial, middle, email, phone, card, full) and select different mask characters (*, •, █, X, etc.). You can also specify how many characters to keep at the beginning and end.

What types of sensitive data can be masked?

The tool recognizes and appropriately masks names, email addresses, phone numbers, credit card numbers, addresses, and account numbers. Each data type has specialized masking patterns for optimal privacy.
