Frequently Asked Questions About Censor Words
Is this a profanity filter?
The tool censors any words you specify. You provide the word list — it can be profanity, names, sensitive data, or any other words you want to redact.
Does case-insensitive matching work with partial words?
The tool matches whole words only. For example, censoring "cat" will match "cat" but not "catalyst" or "scat". Case-insensitive mode matches "Cat", "CAT", "cat", etc.
