How to redact a PDF
- Add the PDF
Drop the document that contains sensitive information.
- Mark regions
Draw boxes over the text or images to remove, or search for a term to redact everywhere.
- Apply and download
Redacted pages are re-rendered so the underlying data is gone for good.
Frequently asked questions
Is the text really removed?
Yes. Affected pages are rasterised, which destroys the underlying text layer beneath the black boxes.
Why redact locally?
Because uploading a document to redact it defeats the purpose.
Does it also remove metadata?
Yes, author, title and other metadata are stripped as part of redaction.
