Redact PDF
Remove private text from a PDF for good.
Your files never leave your device: everything happens in your browser.
How to Redact PDF
- Choose your file, or drop it on the box.
- Drag over what must go, or search for words to cover.
- Press Start, then download the result.
Redact PDF lets you mark parts of pages — or find a word, a number or an email on every page — and remove them. A black box is not enough on its own, because the text underneath can still be copied, so every page with a covered part is saved as a picture with the box burnt in: the hidden text is gone. Other pages stay as they are, and bookmarks, attachments and document details are left out.
