Redact a PDF the Right Way
Hide sensitive data before sharing contracts, court filings, medical records or financial statements — with redaction that actually removes the information.
Black Boxes Aren't Enough
Famous data leaks (from government filings to court documents) happened because someone just drew a black rectangle over text — leaving the words underneath, recoverable with a simple copy-paste. Real redaction must delete the data. We rebuild each redacted page as a flattened image, so there is nothing left to recover.
Why Proper Redaction Matters
Whether it's GDPR, HIPAA, FOIA or simple confidentiality, sharing a document with hidden-but-recoverable data is a serious leak waiting to happen.
Truly private: because redaction runs entirely in your browser, your sensitive document is never uploaded — so you get compliance-grade redaction without trusting a third-party server with the very data you're trying to protect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the redacted text really gone?
Yes. Each redacted page is flattened into an image with the black boxes baked in, so the underlying text no longer exists in the file and cannot be copied, searched or recovered.
Why do redacted pages become images?
That's exactly what makes it secure. Drawing a box on top of live text leaves the text underneath. Rebuilding the page as an image is what permanently removes the data.
Is my document uploaded?
Never. Everything runs on your device, which makes this safe for legal, medical and financial files.
What else can I do?
Use Protect PDF to add a password, or Delete PDF Pages to remove whole pages before sharing.
