Is this a real disclosure-document generator?

No. It creates fictional visual mockups for training, teaching, illustration and set design. It does not retrieve, verify, redact or file a real record, and its output must never be presented as an official disclosure or evidence.

How do I turn the redaction off?

It is a switch in the Envelope section. Turn it off to show the invented names and addresses in a before-and-after training example. The permanent Simulated Training Material label remains visible.

Can I redact part of the body as well?

The bars cover the invented sender, recipient and address fields. Body-level redaction is not available yet; for a classroom exercise, replace that passage with a clear [REDACTED FOR TRAINING] marker yourself.

Is it legal to make a document that looks disclosed?

Laws vary by jurisdiction and use. Clearly labelled illustrations for teaching, journalism, fiction or design are generally lower risk, but no category is automatically legal. Filing, publishing or offering an invented document as a genuine disclosure violates our terms and may be unlawful.

Can I use a real official's name under the bar?

No. The bar hides it visually but the name is still in the document you are making, and attributing invented words to a real person is impersonation whether or not a rectangle sits over it. Every example here uses invented people and organisations.

Can I write a thread?

Yes. Each message is one email in the fictional chain with its own timestamp, which lets a lesson show how context can change across replies.

Can I export it as a long document?

Yes. The download dialog can capture the whole training handout at its true height rather than limiting it to one phone-sized screen.

Should I mark it as simulated?

Yes whenever the image leaves a clearly fictional or classroom context. The Export section can burn a Simulated label into the PNG. Never use the output as a genuine record, evidence, submission or disclosure.

How to make a Redacted email mockup

Start from an example
Choose a fictional redaction lesson, records-training scene or legal-hold explainer. Replace every identity and organisation with invented details before you publish.
Fill in the header block
Use invented names and reserved example addresses in the From, To and Subject fields. The bars follow the length of those fictional details automatically.
Write the chain
Each message is one email. The reply is usually where the substance is, so give it room.
Set the redaction
On by default. Turn it off to demonstrate a before-and-after lesson. The bars follow the length of the invented text, so nothing needs positioning.
Export
Export a PNG — 1× free, up to 3× on Pro — at the document's full height. Free downloads already carry the burned-in Simulated label; leave it on before the image leaves a clearly fictional or classroom context.

How the Redacted email interface is put together

This purpose-built training format uses a paper-style layout rather than copying an inbox. A permanent Simulated Training Material label remains visible in every preview and export.

This is a document, not an inbox

There is no app chrome — no back arrow, toolbar or reply buttons — because this format illustrates a paper handout rather than an inbox. Its permanent Simulated Training Material label keeps that purpose visible in the editor and exported image.

A monospace header block with labelled rows

From, To, Date and Subject appear as explicit labelled lines in a fixed-width face. That makes the fictional example easy to read in records-management lessons, classroom explainers and editorial illustrations without copying an inbox UI.

The bars are sized to the text

Each redaction covers the string it replaces, so a long name leaves a long bar and a short one leaves a short bar. Real redaction follows the shape of what it hides — a row of identical rectangles is the tell that somebody drew boxes rather than covered words.

Redaction is a switch, not a fixture

It is on by default because the format teaches redaction. Turn it off to show a before-and-after classroom example; the permanent Simulated Training Material label remains visible either way.

A document-style rule where app chrome would be

Instead of app chrome there is a simple marking rule across the top. It separates the training-document format from the Gmail, Apple Mail and Outlook mockups without claiming that the output came from a real disclosure process.

Paper, not screen

Off-white stock, hairline rules and generous margins distinguish this training handout from the three inbox-style email skins.

Use these responsibly

Everything made here is simulated. SocialMock has no connection to Redacted email and cannot read, send or alter a real message. Do not use a mockup to impersonate anyone, pass it off as a genuine screenshot, or present it as evidence in any legal, workplace or academic matter — see our Acceptable Use policy. For general information about legal risk, read is it legal to fake a screenshot? If you publish somewhere a viewer might mistake it for real, switch on the “Simulated” label before exporting.
