Some people use the “marker” tool to censor photos because the brush is larger or it’s the default tool. But most marker tools have some transparency to give realistic looking strokes. It’s possible to draw over the image to the point that it looks visually hidden, but if the underlying text is even slightly darker it’s possible to reveal it on a computer.

Solid black boxes. Never the black marker or highlighter tool. Never blur either since those can sometimes be reversed.

Takes like 30 seconds to uncensor those photos.
