Permanently black out sensitive information from your PDF documents.
Redacting a PDF permanently blacks out sensitive information before sharing. Unlike highlighting or drawing black boxes on a layer, true redaction removes the underlying text data so it cannot be uncovered by copy-paste or PDF extraction tools.
Law firms redact confidential client information from court submissions. Healthcare providers redact patient names from case study documents. Government agencies redact classified information from FOIA request responses. Any professional sharing documents that contain sensitive data they need to conceal uses redaction.
Select areas on each page to redact using a rectangular selection tool. The selected regions are filled with solid black and the underlying text data is removed from the PDF structure. Processing is browser-based — your sensitive document never leaves your device.
Your files never leave your browser. No account required, no server uploads — just fast, local processing. This is what it means to redact PDF without uploading.
Redacted content is irreversibly destroyed, not just hidden.
See the actual pages and drag to select exactly what to hide.

No. Unlike simply placing a black box over text, our tool permanently removes the underlying content from the PDF.
You can select any rectangular area on any page. Names, addresses, phone numbers, financial data — anything visible.
