Clean sensitive data out of any text before pasting it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. Detects emails, phone numbers, cards, API keys, SSN, Aadhaar, PAN, IPs and more, replaces them with reversible placeholders, and rehydrates the AI reply back to the real values. 100% on-device.
About this tool
About AI Context Prep & PII Anonymizer
AI Context Prep & PII Anonymizer is a free, 100% on-device tool that removes sensitive data from any text before you paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or any other AI assistant. It detects emails, phone numbers, credit and debit cards (validated with the Luhn algorithm), US SSNs, India Aadhaar and PAN, IP and MAC addresses, IBAN and bank numbers, JWTs, and common cloud API keys, then replaces each value with a stable, reversible placeholder so the anonymized text stays coherent for the model. A private mapping table lets you paste the AI’s reply back and instantly restore the original values, on your own machine. Detection, redaction, scoring, and restoration all run in your browser, so your text and secrets are never uploaded, logged, or stored.
How to use AI Context Prep & PII Anonymizer
1
Paste or import your text
Drop in the text, logs, or code you want to share with an AI assistant, or import a .txt/.md/.log/.json file.
2
Pick a profile and review
Choose a compliance profile (GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, Secrets, or Everything). The inline preview highlights every detected value by severity.
3
Copy the anonymized text
Copy the redacted output and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini. The model gets the structure and meaning, not the private values.

Who Uses Our PII Anonymizer?
Trusted by students, businesses, legal teams, and healthcare professionals worldwide.
Customer support
Anonymize customer conversations before using AI while preserving the context needed to write accurate replies.
Example: Paste a support thread, automatically redact names, emails, phone numbers, and order details, then prepare the cleaned context for AI.
Debugging logs
Clean stack traces, configuration dumps, and error logs by removing secrets, tokens, IPs, and other sensitive data.
Example: Paste a 400-line server log and automatically detect and replace API keys, passwords, tokens, hostnames, and personal data before sharing it with AI.
Sensitive records
Prepare sensitive health, financial, or business records for AI analysis by identifying and anonymizing personally identifiable information.
Example: Drop in a document, detect names, addresses, account details, and other sensitive fields, then generate an anonymized version for AI processing.
Internal projects
Protect confidential project information, client names, employee details, and proprietary data while keeping the original context useful to AI.
Example: Add project codenames, client names, and custom sensitive terms to automatically anonymize them throughout your AI prompt.
Pro Tips for Better PII Anonymizer
Get the most out of our tool with these expert recommendations.
Always review the preview
Automatic detection catches common PII, but edge cases can slip through. Review the highlighted output before sharing it with an AI tool.
Use realistic values for better context
Realistic replacement values preserve the structure and meaning of your data, helping AI reason naturally without exposing the original information.
Enable secret detection for logs
Logs and configuration files can contain API keys, tokens, passwords, and random-looking secrets that standard PII rules may miss.
Protect your restore mapping
If you use reversible anonymization, the mapping between original and replacement values can reveal the protected information.
No. All detection, redaction, and restoration happen entirely inside your browser using local JavaScript. Your text, secrets, and restore map never touch our servers or any third party.
What is a reversible placeholder?
Each detected value is swapped for a stable token like [EMAIL_1] or [CARD_1]. The same value always maps to the same token, so the anonymized text stays coherent for the AI. A private mapping table lets you paste the AI response back and instantly restore the original values.
What kinds of sensitive data can it detect?
Emails, phone numbers, credit/debit cards (validated with the Luhn algorithm), US SSNs, India Aadhaar and PAN, IP and MAC addresses, IBAN/bank numbers, JWTs, and common API key/secret formats (OpenAI, GitHub, AWS, Slack, Google). You can also add custom terms like names or project codenames.
Why should I anonymize text before using an LLM?
Anything you paste into a hosted AI tool may be logged, retained, or used for training. Removing personal data and secrets first keeps you compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, and internal security policies while still letting you use AI on real-world content.
Can it catch everything automatically?
Pattern detection is powerful but not perfect. Always review the redacted output before sharing it. Use the custom-terms field to catch names and internal identifiers that have no fixed format.
Is AI Context Prep & PII Anonymizer free to use?
Yes. AI Context Prep & PII Anonymizer is completely free with no usage limits, no watermarks, and no sign-up. You can use it as often as you need.
