Permanently redact sensitive information from PDFs. Draw over text and the underlying data is truly removed — not just covered. Private and secure, in your browser.
Permanently remove sensitive information from a PDF. Draw over what should go and the underlying data is deleted, not merely hidden.
Really gone. The underlying content is removed, not painted over — which is the difference that matters, because a black rectangle drawn in most editors leaves the text underneath it selectable and copyable.
Open the downloaded file and try to select or search for the redacted text. It should not be findable.
Each page is flattened to an image so the hidden data cannot survive underneath. That protects you, but it applies to the whole page: the finished file has no selectable or searchable text anywhere, screen readers cannot read it, and it is larger than the original. Keep your unredacted copy if you still need the text.
No. The redaction runs in your browser, so a document sensitive enough to need redacting is never transmitted anywhere.
