It combines OCR via pytesseract with named-entity recognition via spacy and presidio-analyzer to locate sensitive text, then covers those regions with a solid color or pattern of your choice.\n\nThe package handles both standard image formats and DICOM medical imaging files. For DICOM, it redacts only pixel-level burn-in text and does not modify metadata; the documentation explicitly recommends using a separate tool for metadata scrubbing. It supports batch processing from directories and can optionally return bounding boxes of redacted regions. The module runs as a Python library or as a Docker service with an HTTP API.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need to redact PII text from images or DICOM files. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, uses a permissive MIT license, and integrates with standard image libraries. The main gotcha is the Tesseract OCR system dependency\u2014plan for that installation before deploying. Not suitable if you need metadata-level DICOM anonymization without a separate tool."},"id":"presidio-image-redactor","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/presidio-image-redactor","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/presidio-image-redactor.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/presidio-image-redactor/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-07-22","license_spdx":"MIT","license_treatment":"permissive","name":"presidio-image-redactor","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Presidio image redactor package"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":168350,"position":10450,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"0.0.60"}
