Why redact PDFs in your browser?
Redaction is about removing sensitive information for good. Doing it locally means the original, unredacted document never leaves your device on the way to being cleaned up.
Frequently asked questions
Is the content really removed?+
Yes. On export the redacted pages are flattened to images, so the text and objects under the boxes are gone, not just hidden.
Is my file uploaded?+
No. Redaction happens entirely in your browser, so your document never leaves your device.
Will redacted pages still have selectable text?+
Redacted pages become images, so their text is no longer selectable. That is what guarantees the removal.
Is it free?+
Yes, with no sign-up.
