Classic solid black bars. Clean, formal, and the default everywhere.
Scattered dots in the full palette. Airy and playful, no box at all.

A checkerboard of coloured tiles laid straight onto the page.
Diagonal colour bands sweeping across the redacted area.
Coloured dots joined by fine connector lines, like a little network.
A dark block with a green-and-charcoal pixel grid. Understated and professional.
A dark block carrying the full pixel palette. Bold and unmistakably Blockout.
Free plan includes the classic Black style. The seven patterned styles are a Pro feature.
