About This Free Online Censor Words
Our free word censor automatically masks profanity and any words you specify, replacing them with asterisks or another symbol so your text stays clean. Paste your content and the tool censors the flagged words instantly, which is useful for moderating user comments, preparing family-friendly versions of text, redacting sensitive terms, and cleaning up transcripts before sharing them. You can rely on a built-in list of common bad words or add your own custom terms to block, and choose how the masked words appear. This saves you from finding and editing each word by hand across a long document. You can copy the censored result with one click. Everything runs locally in your browser, so the censoring is immediate, there is no signup, and your text is never uploaded.

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.
