Page Scrambler – Hide Sensitive Text for Screen Sharing

Hide sensitive text before you share your screen: scramble the whole page, or just the parts you pick, into look-alike gibberish.

Page Scrambler turns the text on any web page into look-alike gibberish, so you can share your screen, demo real tools, record videos and take screenshots without showing real names, emails or numbers. Scramble the whole page, or pick just the parts to hide. One click puts the real text back. No account needed. Runs entirely in your browser; nothing it reads ever leaves your device. TWO WAYS TO SCRAMBLE • Scramble page: every word on the page becomes gibberish at once: headings, tables, buttons, even tooltips, placeholders and the tab title. It keeps up as the page changes, so new messages, feed items and screens in single-page apps arrive scrambled too. • Pick elements: hover the page and a highlighter ring shows what you would hide. Click a customer’s name, a revenue card or a whole sidebar, and only that part scrambles. The rest stays readable, so your demo still makes sense. Undo and Unpick all are one click away in the picker’s toolbar. • Keyboard shortcuts: Alt+Shift+S scrambles or restores the whole page and Alt+Shift+E starts picking (Option+Shift on a Mac; on a Chromebook, Alt+Shift+H and Alt+Shift+E), without opening the popup. Change the keys in chrome://extensions/shortcuts. LOOKS REAL, NOT REDACTED • Letters keep their case and roughly their width, and every digit becomes an X, so €84,210.50 reads €XX,XXX.XX. A screenshot still looks like your product, and no fake figure can pass for a real one. • Better than blur: blur and black boxes tell everyone something is hidden, and they make a polished product look unfinished. Scrambled text keeps the page looking like itself, minus the real data. • Text fields and rich editors get a scrambled copy drawn on top. Page Scrambler never writes into them, so nothing you type, and nothing the app saves, changes. • Restores in one click. Click Restore page (or press the shortcut) and the real text comes back; going to another site or closing the tab ends it too. MADE FOR • Screen sharing and live demos: a demo mode for any web app. Show the real product on a call without showing real customers, salaries or inboxes. • Screenshots for docs and tickets: hide sensitive data in screenshots of a bug, a how-to or a changelog, without retouching anything. • Recording tutorials and videos: whole-page mode keeps up as you click through, so nothing slips into a frame. • Sales and support on real accounts: walk a prospect through a live workspace and keep other people’s data private. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • The text Page Scrambler hides never leaves your device. It has no servers to send it to, no analytics and no account. • Originals are kept in the tab’s memory only so they can be put back. They stay there until you reload the page, leave it or close the tab. • Two permissions, activeTab and scripting, nothing else. It can touch a page only after you click its icon or press one of its shortcuts on that tab, and it asks for no access to any site. GOOD TO KNOW • It changes only what your browser shows you. Nothing is sent to the site, and form fields and editors are never written to. • It hides text on the page, not the address bar, other tabs or browser notifications. • Scramble page stays on while the tab stays on the same site, through links, reloads and back and forward. The same site means the exact address: a subdomain, such as app.example.com after example.com, counts as another site, and its pages show their real text. Pages you open by typing in the address bar may open unscrambled; check before sharing. Links you open in a new tab aren’t scrambled. • Text inside images, videos and canvas drawings is left as it is, and so are frames embedded from other sites, such as chat widgets, videos or ads: Chrome only lets the extension into the site you clicked it on. The popup tells you how many of those frames are visible, so take a look before you share. • Chrome does not let any extension run on its own pages (like settings or new tab), its error pages, other extensions’ pages, the Chrome Web Store or the built-in PDF viewer. There, the popup explains why the buttons are off. Local files work only if you turn on “Allow access to file URLs” for Page Scrambler in Chrome’s extension settings. • Text a site’s stylesheet adds to the page (CSS content) stays readable. • Letters in a few scripts it does not cover yet, such as Armenian, Georgian or Tamil, stay readable. • Some apps turn text into a field when you click it. Restore before editing there, or the app could save the scrambled text. • Rarely, text the page copied while scrambled stays scrambled after restoring; reload to be sure. • A screenshot still shows lengths, capitals, punctuation and symbols, and how wide each word is in the page’s font. With a list of likely names and that font, someone could often tell which name a short scrambled one is. Identical text in the same font scrambles identically on the same page. The letters themselves come from a secret key that exists only in that page’s memory. Made by Magentix Studio.
