How to Uncover Blacked Out Text With a
Highlighter
Have you ever wondered how to uncover blacked out text? This article explains how you can use a
highlighter tool to reveal hidden text in pictures. Whether you want to hide sensitive information, or
simply want to brighten up blacked out text, this article can help you do it. Listed below are 6 steps to
help you find the hidden text. But before we get into that, let’s first look at why this technique is useful.
Highlighter is a tool for rapid obfuscation
To uncover blacked out text, use your smartphone’s Photos application and highlight the blacked-out text.
Then, use the third-party editing tools to increase the brightness and contrast of the image. The opacity
value will block the hidden text, and you can then delete the annotation. After you’ve done this, you
should see the hidden text once more. And just like the other steps, the process is easy.
The process may be more complicated if the text is in a light-colored background, or if the highlighter is
red. If you aren’t sure how to proceed, you may need to use additional photo editing tools. Brightness
(100) and Highlights (100%) may not work with red highlighter, but other tools may. And the more layers
you apply to a highlighted area, the harder it will be to uncover the content.
If you’re not sure what to do, you can try using the Markup pen tool. This tool acts just like a highlighter,
but requires several layers. Thin layers can be later removed, and you can use it to conceal data. The
Markup tool is also a great way to hide information, but it’s different than the pencil tool. You can select a
shape and place it over the text to be hidden.
Using a highlighter to uncover blacked out text is a quick and easy way to reveal a portion of the text.
While this method works well, it will take some practice and experimentation to determine which
highlighter will reveal what was previously hidden. You should try highlighting a few sections and see
how easy or difficult it is. Once you’ve mastered this method, you’ll be able to read the hidden text and
save your work.
If you’re trying to find a password or IMEI number on an iPhone, you can use a multilayered highlighter
to mask the data. This method is more effective from apps like Photos than it is from the screenshot
editor. For example, if you want to hide an IMEI number, just highlight it with your iPhone’s IMEI
number by swiping twice.
Another way to find blacked-out text is to use a program called Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat has a feature
called optical character recognition (OCR) that helps convert the scanned image into selectable text. This
program is a paid program. You can also contact the author of the document to highlight the text. If you
can’t find any text on the scanned paper, try contacting the author to ask if it is still available.

Redacting is the process of concealing information in a document by obscuring some or all of its text.
Often, portions of a document are redacted to hide sensitive information, such as a social security number
or an account number. In such cases, the document cannot be read by unauthorized parties. The remaining
metadata on a document can reveal the redacted information. Regardless of the purpose of redacting a
document, you should be aware that blacked out text cannot be retrieved without proper credentials.
Redaction can be done with redacting markers, which are easy to use. You can black out text using a layer
of ink, and it is usually sufficient to cover sensitive information. It is essential to check the blacked-out
information from every angle, though. Redacting markers can be purchased at office supply and school
supply stores, as well as online sources like Amazon. Even Walmart and Target sell them.
The most common way to move unmodifiable documents across the web is through PDF files. The format
is easy to create and compatible with most computer systems. Another advantage of PDF files is that they
can easily be blacked out. The blacked-out text in the file cannot be read by anyone without knowing
what it contains. In addition, PDF files are widely accepted and can be viewed by nearly every computer
system.
It can be used to brighten blacked out text
Using a highlighter is a common way to quickly obfuscate text. Highlighters are opaque to the human
eye, but are effective tools for obfuscation. Because a highlighter highlights text in a single stroke, it’s
important to understand how to use them to uncover blacked-out text. You can use highlighters to conceal
confidential information in documents.
