How to redact

Drag a box over anything private: names, ID numbers, account numbers, signatures. Use the arrows above the page to move between pages.

Add a PDF to start.

Pages with boxes are flattened into images, so the hidden text is removed for good and cannot be copied or uncovered.

How to redact a PDF

  1. Drop your PDF into the box above.
  2. Drag a box over each thing to hide: names, CNIC numbers, account numbers.
  3. Press Save redacted PDF, then open the file and check it before sharing.

Is the text really removed?

Yes. Pages with boxes are flattened into images, so the hidden text is deleted from the file and cannot be copied or uncovered. A plain black rectangle drawn in a normal editor only covers text.

Are my files uploaded?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your PDF never leaves your phone or computer.
