Redact PDF
Find and cover selected PDF text locally.
Detect common patterns in a PDF text layer, let you review them, and cover selected matches in a new copy.
Private by design
Ordinary document processing happens in browser memory. The document is not intentionally uploaded to our application server, so there is no server copy of the file to delete.
No account required
Choose a supported file, complete the task, download the result, and keep control of the original.

Frequently asked questions
Is the document uploaded?

Does it guarantee all personal information is removed?
